MOUNT OF MONMOUTH COUNTY
6 Thomas Mount, born prior to 1692.
7 Mary Mount, (attributed), born 1694; died 1745; supposed married John Mount, 9.
4 RICHARD MOUNT, son of George Mount, I, was born probably about 1665-6. He resided, first, at Middletown, then at Cranbury.
1694, Aug. 8. He recorded his cattle-mark in Middletown.
1703, Mch. 28. Richard Mount, of Middletown, was alluded to as son and heir to George Mount, of the same place, late deceased. He made his mark to documents.
About 1710, Eden, the son of Edward Burrowes, of Jamaica, Long Island, came to Middle- town. What occasioned his friendly separation from his kinspeople and the selection of a new place of abode would now be mere speculation, but the fact that he took over all the lands of Richard Mount and that he had a daughter Rebecca, whose name conforms to the name Re- becca, the wife of Richard Mount, raises the suspicion that Rachel, the heretofore uniden- tified wife of Eden Burrowes, possibly may have been a daughter of Richard Mount.
The deed that conveyed the land from Richard Mount to Eden Burrowes, and which was dated Mch. 13, 1710, and recorded Apr. 24, 1827, recited that Richard Mount was a yeoman, of Middletown; that the consideration was £200, and that the lands were: (I) Seventy-six acres in Middletown, on the South side of Mill Brook, thence *** adjoining Thomas Cox *** to South side of Layton's line. Bounded West by Thomas Cox, Southeast and North by land of ye said Layton; (2) a tract of land of one hundred acres, adjoining Safety Grover; (3) a tract of nine acres, at Poplar Field, bounded East by John Smith, South by Mill Run, North by William Layton, West by a small brook, "being ye same which George Mount, ye father of ye said Richard Mount, late purchased of Richard Hartshorne"; (4) six acres of meadow at Shoal Harbor, bounded North by Sarah Reape, and South by Richard Hartshorne; (5) nine acres of salt meadow, at Waycake, bounded North by the Bay, West by Richard Gibbins, East by John Bowne. All to be two hundred acres. Witnessed by W. Laurie, Benjamin Laurie and William Lawrence, Jr. By this transfer he completely divested himself of his Middletown lands and forthwith removed to Cranbury, Middlesex County.
17II, Mch. 12. Richard Mount, of Middlesex, yeoman, conveyed to "my son, Richard Mount, Jr., of the same place," two hundred acres, at Cranbury, adjoining Thomas Morford, bounded on the West by "land intended for my son George Mount." Signed by Richard and Rebecca Mount, both by their marks.
1717, Mch. 23. Richard Mount, of Cranbury, in the city of Perth Amboy, yeoman, and Rebecca, his wife, made a conveyance to Joseph Dennis, cooper.
1723, Jan. 25. Richard Mount, Sr., of Middlesex, and Rebecca, his wife, for £200, con- veyed to Humphrey Mount, yeoman, two hundred acres, on the South side of Cranberry Brook, adjoining Richard Mount, Jr.'s, land. Witnessed by Matthias Mount, (who acknow- ledged the same May 15, 1774), and Joseph Britton, first of whom was, doubtless, his son, and the second, in all likelihood, his son-in-law.
Richard Mount married, prior to 1687, Rebecca Wall, as appears in the Court Records, of that date, at Freehold, N. J., Lib. B., for Garret Wall gave evidence concerning the mare he gave to his sister Rebecca, Richard Mount's wife. See Wall Family.
1715. He was Lieutenant on the Muster Roll of this date.

19 Mary Mount, born May 31, 1715; died, Nov. 24, 1800, aged 85, 5, 24; married Joseph Cox, born Aug. 18, 1713; died, Apr. 17, 1801, in 88th year.
Extract from letter written by Samuel J. Cox to his uncle, Benjamin Cox, March 4, 1867: "Mary Mount, who married Joseph Cox, of Upper Freehold, Monmouth County, N. J., was born May 31, 1715, whose father was Thomas Mount, of Shrewsbury Township. Joseph Cox, who married Mary Mount, lived not far from Imlaytown. Joseph and Mary were my grand-parents. I remember them well, being past eleven years old when they died. Joseph Cox, from my recollection of him and from all I have ever heard, was a farmer in easy circumstances, of unblemished character, strong mind and highly respected in the community where he lived. He was a very old man at my first recollection, of fine, venerable appearance. My grand- mother was in no way inferior to him. Both of them were remarkably calculated to inspire respect from all who approached them. There was scarcely any symptom of childishness about either of them, notwithstand- ing their great age. My grandmother was remarkable for her fine form and countenance, even in her old age, and in her earlier years must have been beautiful. They occupied one end of their large old house, while my father and his numerous family occupied the other part. When I was a little boy I spent many a pleasant hour in their rooms. They were very kind to me and were very fond of having me sing hymns to them."

8 RICHARD MOUNT, son of Richard Mount, 4, was born prior to 1691, and died between July 22 and Aug. II, 1777, the dates of his will and probate. Like his father, he relocated himself, for, while he was of Middlesex County, Mch. 31, 1725, as appears from a deed of that date, in which he styles himself cordwainer, and was joined by Rebecca, his wife, both making their marks, conveying to Stephen Warne, yeoman, the two hundred acres of land, at Cranbury, deeded to him by his father, Richard Mount, Mch. 12, 1711, he was, shortly thereafter, a resident of Monmouth County, where he had bought, Feb. 4, 1725, from Thomas Humphries, agent and attorney for the heirs of William Dockwra, one thousand acres, on Rocky Brook, beginning at the mouth of Brenthall's Brook, at Millstone River, etc.
II5
MOUNT OF MONMOUTH COUNTY
1726. Richard Mount, Jr., sold five hundred acres, in Freehold, of the land he had bought from the Dockwra heirs the year preceding, to Joseph Holeman.
He is alluded to as cordwainer, distiller and gentleman. He apparently married three times: first, about 1715-18, Rebecca .....; second, supposed, Rachel, daughter of John and Mary Cox; third, Elizabeth Seabrook, born 1711; died Mch. 16, 1791, who married, first, Ezekial Forman, born Nov. 1, 1706; died Oct. 3, 1746, and secondly, Richard Mount. Elizabeth (Seabrook-Forman) Mount's will is on record at Trenton, bearing date May 28, 1784; proved Jan. 27, 1792.
1728, Apr. 9. John Cox, of Freehold, made his will, and appointed his brother, James Cox, Richard Mount, Jr., and William Lawrence, Jr., to divide his real estate, which was done by them, Sept. 30, 1728, between his sons John, Joseph and Samuel Cox. Freehold Deeds. 1731. Richard Mount was taxed, in Upper Freehold, on four hundred acres.
1736, Mch. 8. Richard Mount, Jr., of Upper Freehold, conveyed one hundred and sixty acres, in Upper Freehold Township, to John Morford.
1750, Nov. II. Richard Mount, gentleman, of Upper Freehold, conveyed to his son, Thomas Mount, blacksmith, one hundred and ninety-eight acres, in Upper Freehold. Witnesses: Michael Mount and Mary Mount.
1756, Nov. 19. Richard Mount, yeoman, of Upper Freehold, conveyed to Michael Mount, husbandman, of the same place, land, beginning at Rocky Brook, at the lower corner of land formerly granted by said Richard Mount to John Morford, * * * down brook to lands patented to Walter Benthall, thence Easterly to a corner of Thomas Mount's land * * conveyed to the said Richard Mount by the heirs of William Docwra, deceased. Acknowledged by Richard Mount Feb. 1, 1760. Recorded Dec. 23, 1805. Freehold Deeds.
Part of this land was conveyed by Michael Mount, and his wife Mary, to William Vaughan, gentleman, of Upper Freehold, Apr. 1, 1757, who, by his will of Oct. 2, 1762, authorized his executors to sell the same, in the event of the remarriage of his wife, Marcy Vaughan, which they did, by deed of Apr. 10, 1777, to William Mount, of Upper Freehold. It would further appear that William and Mercy Vahan conveyed, July 5, 1760, to Thomas Mount, a part of the lands conveyed him by Michael Mount, (Mch. 31) Apr. 1, 1757.
1758. Richard Mount was taxed, in Upper Freehold, on six hundred and ninety acres.

He was born prior to 1695, for he was constable for Piscataqua, 1715-16, and a defendant and plaintiff in law suits in 1715-16, 1716 and 1718, as appears in the Middlesex County Records, at New Brunswick.
1723, Dec. 23. He was of Freehold, when he bought two hundred acres of land in that town, as well as a tract near Cole's Creek, in the same place, from John Estill, of Freehold.

4I Rebecca Mount; married Mr. Gaa.
11 HUMPHREY MOUNT, son of Richard Mount, 4, was born, probably, not far from 1695.
1723, Jan. 25. Richard Mount, Sr., of Middlesex, and Rebecca, his wife, conveyed to Humphrey Mount, yeoman, for £200, two hundred acres, on the South side of Cranberry Brook, adjoining Richard Mount, Jr. Witnessed by Joseph Brittain, Matthias Mount, (who acknowledged May 15, 1744), and George Rascarrick.
1751. Humphrey Mount bought of Robert Lettis Hooper, land, which, Apr. 7, 1755, he sold to Nisbit Mount for £50, and acknowledged the same, Aug. 20, 1761, when he called himself of Perth Amboy, yeoman. Cranberry, at this date, was spoken of as in the city of Perth Amboy.
*While George Mount, I, made allusion to only two sons of his deceased son, Matthias Mount, 3, viz., Matthias Mount, 5, and Thomas Mount, 6, this would not exclude the existence of another son who need not of necessity have been mentioned and for whom provision would have been made by the law of primogeniture. If this is conceded, it might follow that John Mount, 9, called a son of Richard Mount, 4, was a son of Matthias Mount, 3, which has in favor of it the fact that John Mount, 9, called his, appar- ently eldest son, Matthias.
The Bible from which the references to John Mount, 9, and his family are taken, contains the following: "Record of old Mount Family Bible, bought by Thomas Mount in 1763." John Mount was either brother or cousin to Thomas Mount, the owner of the Bible, and it remains to be explained why his family record should appear in a Bible other than his own.
II7
MOUNT OF MONMOUTH COUNTY
1715. He was a private on the Muster Roll.
It has been suggested that he married a Britton, as he named a son this name. But should his sister, Ann, have been the wife of Joseph Britton, which is likely, it is just as probable that Humphrey's son, Britton, should have been named after his uncle, Joseph Britton.

42 Britton Mount; baptized, June 2, 1731, at Tennent Church.
43 Dorcas Mount; baptized, May 5, 1734, at Tennent Church.
44 Mary Mount; baptized, June 7, 1736, at Tennent Church.
45 William Mount; baptized, May 14, 1739, at Tennent Church .* 46 Nisbit Mount
It is likely Humphrey Mount had other children than those given above, for he was estab- lished on a farm of two hundred acres, in 1723, and it is practically certain that he was the father of Nisbit Mount, who married, in 1744, Mary Hay. That Humphrey Mount married twice is likely, and that one of his wives was a Nisbit, is more than probable. The Nisbits or Nesbits were members of the Scotch community that early settled at Freehold.
1727. Dorothy Nisbett was one of the witnesses, by her mark, to the will of Alexander Clark, of Freehold.
12 MATTHIAS MOUNT, son of Richard Mount, 4, was born 1706-7, and died Apr. 7, 1791. He married Anne ..... , born 1714-15; died June 23, 1792. They lie buried in Cran- bury Yard, between the Humphrey and Matthias Mount mentioned below. He was a ruling elder in the First Presbyterian Church, of Cranbury, for nearly fifty years.
Perhaps Matthias Mount married twice.
In 1745, he was residing at Freehold, where he bought land from one, Hankins and wife, and moved to Middlesex County.
He was a Revolutionary Soldier when over seventy years of age.
1755, Oct. 24. Jediah Stout, of Windsor, yeoman, conveyed land to Matthias Mount, of the same place, yeoman, in presence of Thomas Mount and Stephen Warne.
1756, Mch. 10. Will of Frederick Debogh, of Freehold, mentioned: wife, Hannah; son, Van Hook Debogh; daughter, Hannah, cut off, and her share left to her daughter, Mary Van Hook, and her grandson, Frederick Brown; daughter Frances and daughter Sarah, unmarried; son, Solomon. Executors, his wife Hannah, son, Lawrence Debogh, and son-in-law, Matthias Mount.
1771, Aug. 15. Matthias Mount, as executor, advertised the sale of the property of the late Frederick Debow, in Lower Freehold, about five miles from Monmouth Court House, on Sept. 27, 1771.

*William Mount may, perhaps, be he who had marriage license with Anna Perrine, Aug. 31, 1761. There is also a will, re- corded at New Brunswick, N. J., Lib. A, p. 462, which may be his.

5I Humphrey Mount, born 1745-6.
52 Ann Mount, born Feb. 11, 1749.
53 Thomas Mount; moved to Virginia.
54 Joseph Mount. There may have been a son Joseph in this family, but proof that there was is lacking. It may be that he is added to the list of children solely because there was a Joseph Mount on the subscription list of 1758, together with the names of the brothers, John, Humphrey and Matthias, Jr., and that of Hezekiah Mount.
1760, May 23. Joseph Mount was a witness to a deed given by John Mount, of Middletown, and it may be that he was identical with this supposed son of Matthias. Yet there may have been two of the same name, one of Middle- town and one of Cranbury. He of Middletown, had a license to marry, Mch. 7, 1761, with Anne Stillwell.
12a ANN MOUNT, supposed daughter of Richard Mount, 4, was the Ann Mount who married, Apr. 5, 1714-15, in the Dutch Church, in New York City, Joseph Britain. She must, therefore, have been born about 1695 to have been twenty years of age at the time of her marriage, and would, consequently, belong to this generation, as a child of either Matthias or Richard Mount, and a grandchild of George Mount, the First.
As Humphrey Mount, II, names a child Britton, baptized June 2, 1731, and as the name of Joseph Britton appears as a witness on the deed, Jan. 25, 1723, from Richard Mount, Sr., 4, of Middlesex, and Rebecca, his wife, to Humphrey Mount, II, this association of facts and names makes it practically certain that Ann was the daughter of Richard Mount, 4, and wife of Joseph Britton.
13 TIMOTHY MOUNT, son of Matthias Mount, 5, was a resident of Middletown. He married "Elizabeth, daughter of Elizabeth White."'
1752, Dec. 27. He made his will; proved Jan. 31, 1753, in which he appointed his friends, Thomas Mount and James Grover, his executors. He left three daughters not twenty-one years of age. Witnesses: James Rice, Samuel Mount and Matthias Mount.
1753, Mch. 29. Inventory of Timothy Mount, signed by James Grover and Thomas Mount, as executors, has on it a note that reads: "Edward Taylor, Appriser. Garrett Mor- ford the other appraiser dyed before he signed the inventory."

56 Jemima Mount; married, prior to June 22, 1763, Samuel White.
57 Elizabeth Mount. She may, perhaps, have married ..... Eldreth, and have been the mother of John Eldrith, who conveyed four and one-half acres of salt meadow, which formerly belonged to Timothy Mount, on Jan. 3, 1794, to Job Layton.
15 MARGARET MOUNT, daughter of Matthias Mount, 5, had a license to marry, dated Mch. 24, 1739-40, with James Herbert, yeoman, both of Middletown, she a spinster and the daughter of Matthias Mount, who gave his consent; Joseph Mount, yeoman, being surety

This mother-in-law of George Mount was Hannah Cook who married Bartholomew Woolley prior to 1714-15, for in that year they were witnesses to the will of Joseph West. Upon the death of her husband, Woolley, she married, 10, 12, 1740, Thomas Lippincott, who left a will dated 1760, and she outliving him, left a will dated Feb. 17, 1772, wherein she mentioned her grand-daughter, Margaret Mount.
George Mount, 17, I believe had an earlier wife than Audrey Woolley. A comparison of his signatures, on his license to marry Audrey Woolley and on his will, establishes the fact that he married Amy Chambers, by license dated Jan. 18, 1744-5, and that he was also the surety on the marriage license of John Mount, 33, dated Feb. 8, 1748.
1757, Aug. 14. He made his will; proved Apr. 17, 1760, in which he styled himself as of Middletown. Thomas Mount qualified as executor at the date of probate, Joseph Mount, May 19, 1760, and John Mount, Jr., Aug. 13, 1760. He mentioned his wife, Ordery, and two sons and a daughter without names.
