Life and career
[edit]Born in Princeton, New Jersey, Lott was the only child of Peter and Mary (Heyer) Lott.[4] His father served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and Lott "remembered the battle of Princeton as well as that of Trenton" from his childhood.[5] He studied medicine with Dr. Moses Scott,[1][2] and graduated in Philadelphia in 1805 and settled in New Mills, New Jersey (later Pemberton) in 1806 or 1807. Overall, he practiced medicine there for thirty years.[1][2]
When the War of 1812 began, Lott raised a company of "light horse" and "while he would not accept the captaincy, he served as lieutenant of the company of patriots".[6] During the war, he was an assistant surgeon, with the rank of captain in the regiment of Major Samuel Joseph Read.[1][2] Over the course of his service, he became medical director and assistant adjutant general,[7] and "occupied a military station near the mouth of the Delaware river, at Red Bank, where he also held the position of divisional medical director".[8]
Returning to New Jersey, "his practice was quite extensive",[1] and included the furnaces in Speedwell, Hanover and Batsto, and to the County almshouse.[2] During this time, Lott "also he became a director in the Farmers' and Mechanics' bank, located at Mount Holly".[8] He was listed as a county commissioner of Burlington County, New Jersey, in 1818,[9] and again in 1822.[10] In 1819, Lott was a charter member of St. John's Commandery No. 4, Knights Templar.[4] Lott retired from the practice of medicine in New Jersey in 1835,[2] and lived in Trenton until the spring of 1836, when Lott and his family moved to Quincy, Illinois.[7] In 1837 he went to St. Louis, Missouri, where he practiced medicine and "engaged in the whole sale drug business for several years".[4] He returned to the East,[1][2] residing for a time in Philadelphia before moving to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and finally moving in 1849 to Quakertown, Pennsylvania, where he remained until his death.[1][4]
Personal life and death
[edit]On November 5, 1809, Lott married Edith N. Lamb, a daughter of Colonel Jacob Lamb, with whom Lott had six sons and two daughters.[1][3] One of his sons, Charles Fayette Lott, born July 1, 1824, became a state legislator and judge in Butte County, California.[7] When Charles Fayette sought to travel to California, Lott opposed it and cut off funds to the son, who then mortgaged property to be able to make the journey.[6] Lott's youngest son, Bushrod W. Lott, born May 1, 1826, went on to become a political figure in Minnesota, and the first mayor of Saint Paul, Minnesota.[6]
Edith died in October 1827.[3] In July 1848, while living in Philadelphia, Lott married a second time to Eliza Bewley, widow of Nathan Bewley.[3] From this marriage, a daughter, Annie, was born.
