Edward Mott was born in Bergalingen, Baden before Germany existed as a nation. His parents were Maria Gerspach (1799-1848) and Jakob Mott (1801-1861). Edward emigrated from Baden to America in about 1880 at about age 40. (Three of Edward's sibs - Carolina, Phillip and Lawrence had emigrated to Iowa in the 1850s. )
In 1885, Edward was a wagon maker living with his brother Phillip and family in Center, Wapello, Iowa. In later years he lived by himself, near brother Lawrence. Edward does not appear to have married. He remained in Wapello, Iowa, dying in 1915 at age 76. (1915 was also the year that his brother Phillip died.)
Note: German baptismal records indicate that Edward's birth year was 1839, not 1838.
