No, I do not know where he was born.However, there is a significant congruence of family names in Amador County, CA, with family names found in the early 1800s in Jefferson County, IN, the same names being found about 1800 in Kentucky, and before that in Albemarle County, VA, in the area east of Shadwell.
Although it is unlikely to be proved due to burned records, the Lotts probably originated in Isle of Wight County, VA.Many families in that county migrated about 1700 to New Kent and Hanover counties, while others moved into North Carolina, and then to SC, GA, AL, MS, etc.The New Kent and Hanover branch (Hanover, New Kent, King & Queen all have almost no records before 1865) appears to have moved west with other families into Albemarle.
This does not address the Dutch Lotts in New York, whose path westward was different.
Sorry not to be of more help.
