The property was situated on Route 616, known as Genito Rd. Today the Amelia and Nottoway County line divides the property. Joseph Jr lived in Amelia County VA until sometime before 1785 when he moved to Pittsylvania County Virginia. He was a surveyor who, with his son Joel, was part owner of Motley/Mottley and Baldwin Surveyors Co.



    The family of Joseph Motley of Amelia County married into the Tanner, Vaughan, and Fowlkes families. In 1737 Joseph bought 400 acres on Little Creek of Flat Creek from Matthew Mayes. His wife was Elizabeth Forrest, the daughter of Abraham Forrest and Judith his wife. Abraham Forrest of Gloucester County arrived in Amelia County by 17 May 1750 when he bought 400 acres on the south side of Deep Creek from Robert Moody. He died in Amelia County (will dated 10 June 1757, recorded 22 Feb. 1759).

On 25 June 1747, Joseph renewed his 1,083-acre patent and acquired 300 more acres that belonged to Thomas Tanner in 1742. Motley's land was partly in Nottoway County when they created it and the ancestral home fell just south of the county line. The Motley family occupied the home from 1737 until 1908.
    Joseph and Elizabeth were the parents of the ten children. Joseph died in Amelia County (will dated 2 Nov. 1763, recorded 27 Aug. 1777) as did his wife.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: 1782, , Amelia, Virginia, USA

    Notes:

    Joel Motley, the son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Forrest) Motley, was born about 1750 in Amelia County. He inherited 600 acres of land with a mill from his father.

    Joel married first Mary Williams in Amelia County 13 September (bond) 1769. She was the daughter of Philip Williams Sr. who died in Amelia County in 1786 (will dated 14 Jan. 1786 , recorded 28 Dec. 1786) and mentioned deceased daughter Mary Motley in his will. Mary’s sister Elizabeth Williams married Nicholas Vaughan, the son of Robert Vaughan Sr. and his wife, Martha. Her brother Phillip Williams married Joel’s sister Martha Motley. Joel and Mary had three children before she died. Amelia County listed Joel Motley head of a family of four with 17 slaves in 1782.

    Joel married second Sarah (Coppage) Lunsford in Amelia County 17 June (bond) 1783. Robert Vaughan Jr., Joel’s brother-in-law, was his surety on the marriage bond. Sarah was the widow of John Lunsford who died in Amelia County in 1782 (will dated 2 Jan. 1782, recorded 25 April 1782).
    Sarah gave birth within a year after her marriage. Both she and the infant were evidently ill because Sarah immediately wrote her will in Amelia County 21 May 1784. She identified herself as the wife of Joel Motley and left her property to “my child if said child should live.” If the child died, her property would go to her brother Moses Coppage and her niece Sally Sutton, daughter of James Sutton and Betty Coppage. William Cross Craddock, Matthew Robertson, and John Vaughan witnessed her will. Sarah evidently did not recover and we have no record that the child lived.

    Joel married third Sylvia Cook on 16 April (bond) 1785. Joel and Sylvia had two children before Joel died. He was dead before 22 June 1789. On 24 December 1789, John Harper, Matthew Robertson, and William Craddock appraised the estate of Josiah Hundley. They noted that as of 22 June 1789, “1,030 pounds above mentioned tobacco is claimed by Mrs. Siliva Motley as the property of her decd husband.”
    In 1792 Amelia County appointed Matthew Robertson the guardian for the children of Joel and Mary (Williams) Motley and appointed Sylvia (Cook) Motley the guardian of her two children. As Sylvia Mottley she married Daniel Sayre in Amelia County 11 February (bond) 1795. Sylvia continued to report orphan accounts for her children. Historians show Joel’s children as named “Mottley” and this is how many records showed their names.

    Children of Joel and Mary (Williams) Motley:
    Paschal Mottley [M.4.1]. (26 Dec. 1772).
    John Mottley [M.4.2] (27 May 1774 - 20 June 1828) married Mary Williams Elmore (30 Aug. 1783 - 8 Dec. 1817) in Amelia County on Christmas Day, 1798. Rev. John Skurrey officiated.
