Excerpt from "A Walk in a Country Churchyard - Autumn 1880" by Luke Smith Mote
"Near the middle of the older ground, rather southwesterly, lie the remains of three of the older Mote brothers (sons of David afore named), identity of graves lost by negligence of their families. William, the third son, died first early in the spring of 1830 of paralysis. He was smaller in stature than any [of] the brothers and very quiet in demeanor -- lived single till about his fortieth year, married Betsy Woodhouse (of Dutch descent). She survived him several years and two daughters and a son are still living (1877); his age was about sixty-seven years."
