Political careerMottrom was the first burgess for what would become Northumberland County in 1645 (one of his two times serving as a burgess). He presided over the county court for more than four years until his death in 1655. FamilyHe was married to Mary Spencer and had at least three children by her: Ann (1639-1707), John Jr. (1642-?), and Frances (1645–1720). After Mary's death, he married Ursula Bysshe Thompson, the widow of Richard Thompson, who brought three of her own children into the family, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Richard. Sarah. their daughter, married Thomas Willoughby, whose sister, Elizabeth Willoughby, married first, Simon Oversee, second, Major George Colclough [third husband of her sister-in-law's mother, Ursula (Bysshe) Thompson Mottrom Colclough]. George Colclough died very soon after their marriage and Elizabeth then married Isaac Allerton, Jr.,[2] a trustee of the will of Mottrom's son-in-law Col. Nicholas Spencer.[3] Daughter Ann Mottrom married Richard Wright (1633-1663) and they had three children: Francis Wright, Ann Wright, and Mottrom Wright.[4] Major Francis Wright married as his first wife, Ann Washington, the daughter of Colonel John Washington and Ann Pope. Francis Wright and Ann Washington had two children, John Wright and Ann Wright.[5] Daughter Frances Mottrom was married to Col. Nicholas Spencer,[6] Secretary and President of the Council and later acting Governor of the Virginia Colony (1683–1684) and patentee of the land at Mount Vernon with John Washington.[7] The Spencers named one of their children Mottrom Spencer after the child's grandfather John Mottrom.[8] Another son of Frances Mottrom and Nicholas Spencer, William Spencer, returned to the Spencer family parish of Cople, Bedfordshire, where he served as a member of Parliament.[9] A descendant of John Mottrom's son John Jr. was Spencer Mottrom, whose descendant was the distinguished judge Spencer Roane (1762–1822) of Tappahannock, Virginia, for whom Roane County, West Virginia, is named.[10] LandMottrom owned property along or near the Great Wicomico River and the Chickacoan River. He also owned land on or close to Hull, King's, and Chickacoan creeks. Mottrom was probably the first Englishman to settle on the Virginia side of the Potomac River, and his retreat was a refuge for Protestants fleeing Lord Calvert's Catholic Maryland.[11] His home, Coan Hall, served as the first county seat of Northumberland county. Mottrom was a merchant, owning a shallop with which he traded with Maryland.[12] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Haynie|first=Miriam|title=The Stronghold|year=1959|publisher=The Dietz Press|location=Richmond, Virginia}} 2. ^Northumberland County VA Court 12 March 1663] also Northunberland Co VA Deeds and Wills 3. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=uDoSAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA38&lpg=PA38&dq=%22nicholas+spencer%22&source=web&ots=IgI9G5E_29&sig=j45SgbLsBs0Y9mhH38Hkb30fLmo&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=3&ct=result#PPA39,M1 Washington and His Neighbors, William and Mary College Quarterly Magazine, College of William and Mary, Published by the College, Williamsburg, Va., 1895] 4. ^{{cite book|last=Ritchie|first=Anne Reed|title=Major Francis Wright and Anne Washington with Allied Families|year=1973}} 5. ^{{cite book|last=Ritchie|first=Anne Reed|title=Major Francis Wright and Anne Washington with Allied Families|year=1973}} 6. ^Spencer ancestry, Rowlands Manor, Cople, Bedfordshire, bedfordshire.gov.uk {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110615111555/http://www.bedfordshire.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/ArchivesAndRecordOffice/CommunityArchives/Cople/Manors.aspx |date=2011-06-15 }} 7. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=3kcFAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA12&lpg=PA12&dq=colepepper+nicholas+spencer&source=web&ots=67GhXzpEqV&sig=UnvnRvLdlpb9HoEqfMGQNfHvJYs&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=10&ct=result#PPA13,M1 Wills of George Washington and His Immediate Ancestors, Worthington Chauncey Ford (ed.), George Washington, Historical Printing Club, Brooklyn, N.Y., 1891] 8. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=hkwwKWvozdQC&pg=PA68&lpg=PA68&dq=%22mottrom+spencer%22&source=web&ots=OTEzpqLnYq&sig=46QOrShCyaj-ecppW14S5vS8B3g&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=8&ct=result Will of Mottrom Spencer, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. XLV, Boston, 1891] 9. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=GFxgK1pm6UMC&pg=PA537&lpg=PA537&dq=colepeper+nicholas+spencer+cople&source=web&ots=Gtgl05jcgh&sig=jfnAnEgvPxHZcr-7CSUhVV74s0w&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPA537,M1 The House of Commons, Eveline Cruickshanks, David Hayton, Stuart Handley, Cambridge University Press, 2002] 10. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=9jASAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA54&dq=%22spencer+ball%22+mottrom&lr= William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Va., 1909] 11. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=CWiel4PVkEkC&pg=PA295&lpg=PA295&dq=%22john+mottrom%22+virginia&source=web&ots=_7edbsbzYF&sig=KcxMNhu1-QwI6NVzr2i2B3-turA&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=5&ct=result#PPA295,M1 Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Lyon Gardiner Tyler, Volume I, Lewis Historical Publishing Company, New York, 1915] 12. ^[https://www.jstor.org/pss/1921497 Mottrom-Wright-Spencer-Ariss-Buckner, The William and Mary Quarterly, Vol. 17, Vol. 1, pp. 53-59, jstor.org] External links
