Following his demise, his widow, Audery Mount, married, by license dated Mch. 27, 1760, John Chasey, with John Mount, 33, as surety.
The name of his daughter is established as Margaret, through the will of her grandmother, Hannah (Cook-Woolley) Lippincott, wherein she is called her grand-daughter Margaret Mount.
I suspect the two sons mentioned without names were Timothy Mount, (named after a brother of George), who married Deborah Winter, and Matthias Mount, (named after his paternal grandfather), who married Martha Stillwell.
Issue
62 Timothy (?) Mount. Timothy Mount was of Howell, and died, leaving a will dated Jan. 29, 1802; proved Feb. 12, 1802. He married Deborah Winter and had a daughter, Mary, who married a Covenhoven. See Winter family.
63 Matthias (?) Mount
64 Margaret Mount
18 MATTHIAS MOUNT, son of Matthias Mount, 5, was, by deduction, doubtless the son of Matthias Mount, for in a Bible, in the possession of Timothy M. Maxson, Navesink, N. J., there is a record that Timothy Mount, 65, was a son of Matthias and Mary Mount, and was born Dec. 19, 1784. And he says that the said Timothy was born in a house on a farm, part of which now comprises Fairview Cemetery. The names, Timothy, Joseph and Margaret, transmitted in this family, and living in Middletown, make it almost absolutely certain that Matthias Mount could have belonged nowhere else than as here placed, and as named after his father.
Matthias Mount, 18, married Mary ..... , widow of Obadiah Stillwell, who died in the Sugar House, 1777. She died July, 1792. She had issue by both of her husbands. By her first husband she had: Rebecca Stillwell, who married John Davis, and went West; Eliza-

These same individuals were also made guardians of his children, Mary, Joseph, Rebecca and Catharine, and the question has been raised whether Richard Mount, 48, did not marry a sister or a daughter of Joseph Disbrow, after whom he named a son, Joseph Mount.
