“The Otts from whom Jacob descended settled inOrangeburg,South Carolina, and from there, Jacob emigrated to Louisiana about 1808.\u00a0 He first settled a Spanish Grant, which was located near what is now Amite,Louisiana. While living here, Jacob helped to establish the Mt. Nebo Church. About 1812, Jacob moved to the Burch headright, located southeast of the village of Mt. Hermon, Louisiana, in what is now Washington Parish. Here he built a large house and acquired numbers of slaves to help in cultivating the eight hundred acres which comprised this estate. The family cemetery was started here, for several of the children died and were buried on the home site. In 1830, Jacob Ott moved again.\u00a0 This time to the Busby headright, which he and his son, Charles, purchased together.\u00a0 This headright is located in Washington Parish,Louisiana, on Silver Creek, about two miles north of Mt. Hermon,Louisiana.\u00a0 Here the father and son worked together, raising cotton and operating a water mill.\u00a0 Jacob Ott died on this site in 1836, and the entire estate, six hundred acres, was taken over by his son Charles. The other heirs received their part in slaves.\u00a0 The land which comprised this estate is, at the present time, in the possession of descendants of Jacob Ott.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
