MOTT posted by Nancy Formy-Duval on Saturday, April 17, 1999: An article from "Back Then" column in the Wilmington Star News, 9-17-89, referred to a Sept. 22, 1889 article which stated that "a turnout had been put in the track of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railroad between Wilmington and Fayetteville near Mott's Crossroads, seventeen miles from Wilmington in Pender county. It is proposed to call the place"Currie", in honor of Mr. J. H. Currie." I would like any information anyone may have on Mott's Crossroads before it became Currie. I am researching Wm. V. Mott & John M Mott family from Currie in Pender County and wonder how this might connect. Thanks for your help.
