Uncle Mott's name sounds like a "long O" and Long Mott sounds just like saying a mott of trees. I am assuming this was the way my uncle's name was spelled, I know for sure how it was spoken.
National Archives records in Port Lavaca Library shows that Frederick W. Roemer was the first Long Mott postmaster.
