Children of John¹ Lott and Elizabeth Joyner were as follows:

2. John² Lott (John¹); born circa 1720 VA (This John is assumed to be fhe father of the John born 1742, therefore, must have been born by this time.

Some researchers have also suggested that she was also the wife Elizabeth of John Lott "the elder" (John#1) of the Edgecombe Co. She has long been thought the only wife of John#2 and mother of his children. However, John#2 had no wife listed in the grants that he received in 1764 in St. George's Parish. No household member would have been omitted in these declarations since it determined the amount of land received and for this reason Bethany must have been a 2nd wife); died after 1795 GA.

8. John³ Lott (John², John¹); born circa 1740 Edgecombe Co., NC (said born 1742, but this seemed to have been computed from the 1810 death date she claimed and the "died at age 68" notation. Her stated place of birth was also faulty as she said Duplin Co., NC, which was not created at that time. John actually died in 1808 according to Washington Co., MS Terr records and assuming the age at death is probably correct the 1740 date of birth seems more likely) (Lineage application of Francis Smith Blitch, Nat. no. 463830, Daughters of the American Revolution, John Lott.); married Sallie (--?--) circa 1760 NC (Ibid., said he married Sallie abt 1762 but no reference was given.); died (said died Jul 1810 in Tattnall Co., GA [but thought to be incorrect].

As of 1902, she was identified as Sarah Ann Lott said she was the daughter of a Mr. Lott and a full blood Choctaw woman.
