The most commonly used birthdate of this man is 21 Aug 1631 in Braintree. This makes him too young to bear arms in 1643. Furthermore, it is the baptism date found for the son of Nathaniel Mott and Elizabeth Bridett in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire. If he was baptized at several years old, which is possible given that a sister was baptized just two days later, this could be the right Nathaniel. However, this family also baptized a Nathaniel in 1639, which typically indicates the first kid died.

The IGI uses the 1631 birthdate and gives father as John, but no one offers records of John.
