Lott Northeast was born March Quarter 1867, Alderbury, Wiltshire and apparently travelled to New York ( date and ship unknown). I am endeavouring to find out more about him particularly the origin of his christian name. I am a Northeast and I have a connection with the Lott's of Suffolk, UK. Maxn.

The older Lot(t) is on the 1841 census in Dorset (but wasn't born there) and is the son of Robert and Harriet. From the 1861 census, this couple were from Wiltshire. They may have married in Alderbury - there is a marriage for Robert Northeast and Harriet Hardiman.
(My first thought was to wonder if this name came from the biblical Lot - apparently there is also a King Lot in Arthurian literature - father of Gawain amongst others).
