When Adam Mott died, he was laid to rest in Mount Hope Cemetery, Rochester, in a plot held jointly by his son-in-law Silas Cornell and his son Richard Mott. A stone laid upon his grave bears the simple inscription
ADAM MOTT
AGE 77
1839
The Cemetery had then but recently been laid out by Silas Cornell, who at that time was the principal surveyor in Rochester, and who had first proposed the name of Mount Hope for the new burial ground.
Adam Mott was about six feet in height, rather spare in person, but of strong frame, and of strongly marked but kindly features, and of unostentatious and simple dignity of manner. Although his mother died of consumption, at the age of forty-six, and his father at fifty-six, his constitution carried him nearly through his seventy-seventh year.
