(the prefix "Mr." shows that Gott was a man of higher standing or greater consequence in the community than Horne.) An inventory of her estate, including details of her wearing apparel and household effects was filed July 27, 1644. She and her husband left a house and lot in Salem. Her estate was distributed pusuant to an order of John Endicott, Governor, Dated Jan. 3, 1645. She left a son, Ezekiel, about 8 1/2 years old.
