John Peter was born the son of Gideon Marlott who migrated to Staten Island in 1663. Gideon was a French Hugenot refugee who fled France and lived for a while in Mannheim, Germany, where John Peter was born; later the family lived in Leyden, Holland.

John made it as far as the central part of New Jersey. John was a blacksmith in Piscataway, NJ in 1657. He died in Middlesex County, NJ and his will is recorded with his son, Theodoras as executor on Jan. 30, 1702 and probated in 1704, in Camden, New Jersey.

He was a blacksmith in Piscataway, N.J. in 1697 and died in Middlesex county, N.J., his will is recorded in Camden, N.J.

The name Picataway was for the Piscataway Indian Tribe that was part of the Conoy Nation in Maryland. Piscataway is an Algonquian word meaning "fork of a river" or "at the fork of a river". During the late Woodland period (A.D. 900 and thereafter), the Piscataway lived along the Potomac River near what is now Accokeek, MD. Archaelogists unearthed a part of this Palisade. A Jesuit Priest baptized a Piscataway Chief named Kittamaquund in 1640. A creek and a town in Prince George County were named in honor of this tribe.

There is a birth certificate in Manheim, Germany, showing that Jean Pierre Melot was born the son of Gideon Marlet and Marie Marjin (Martin), his wife. They had been married in Holland and then emigrated to Staten Island in New Amsterdam (now New York). Their arrival was about the year 1662. The son Jean Pierre died in Middlesex County, New Jersey, and left a will naming his children: Peter, Theodorous, Hannah, and Maria. There is also a baptismal record that can be found in the French Protestant Church of New York, showing that Theodorous was the son of Jean Pierre and Marie Bellmain Melot. This Theodorous Mellott is the one who has been shown as father of John, a member of Tonoloway Church and the ancestor of the many Mellott's of Fulton County.[21] 21.
