    Originally "Sieur Jean de la Motte"


    After the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, the Marquis De La Motte
    left France and went to Holland. He carried with him a large fortune and
    established himself in so respectable a position that one of his sons was
    appointed Governor of Batavia. The second son of the Marquis De La Motte
    was called the Sieur Jean De la Motte. He was sent by the Dutch
    government as consul to Dublin, Ireland. There are several records of his
    family in the Reformed Dutch Church of Dublin. While in Dublin, the Sieur
    De la Motte anglicized his name to John Abraham Motte. He came to South
    Carolina on the "Crown Galley" about 1704, but in 1709, after receiving
    grants for several plantations, he returned to Dublin for his family and
    brought them to America. In 1706, Captain John A. Motte was a
    commissioner of the Church Act. In April, 1710, he was appointed a
    commissioner of the first public school established in South Carolina. He
    died in South Carolina 7 August, 1711, and was buried in the West end of
    Old St Michael's Church in Charleston. The church was later burned, and
    the present St Michael's was erected on top of his grave.
