From a genealogical statement prepared by Paul Woodhull Mount of New York City. (Compare p. 443. )
The Mount family is supposed to be of French origin, the original name, LeMont, becoming anglicized after some of the family settled in England at the time of the invasion by William the Conqueror. In England the family is found in counties Surrey and Berks.
In Revolutionary times, the Mounts, with two or three exceptions, were ardent patriots, at least twenty members of the family having served in the Continental Army, and of these some gave up their lives for "the cause."
The family was strongly identified with the early history of Old Tennent church, the names of many of its members being found in the baptismal, burial, and communicant lists of the church, and as contributing to the erection of the edifice. In the neighboring First Presbyterian church of Cranbury three generations of the family were elders.
Some of the original Mount family stock now reside in Monmouth, Middlesex, and Mercer Counties; some settled at an early date in Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, and there are also prominent families of the name in Lousiana, Mississippi. Missouri, Arkansas, and on the Pacific coast, all of whom had their origin in New Jersey.

GENEALOGICAL NOTES.
Members of this family have married into many of the leading families. past and present, in the counties of Monmouth, Middlesex, and Mercer, including the following: Applegate, Barclay, Bayles, Bergen, Britton, Brokaw, Burtis, Compton, Combs, Cook, Covenlioven, Cox, Craig, Coward, Dey, Ely, Emmons, Forman, Gordon, Hartshorne, Hendrickson, Herbert. Holmes, Hutchinson, Job, LaRue, Lawrence, Longstreet, McKee, Moore, Newell, Perrine, Reed, Rhea, Schenck, Silver, Slack. Smith, Stillwell, Stout, Taylor, Tice. Throckmorton, Tilton, Truex, Vannest, VanCleve. Van Wykel, Veghte, Voorhies, Wikoff, Wilson, Woodhull. The family ramifications have extended so widely that no attempt has here been made to give all the branches.
From researches furnished by William B. Mount, Philadelphia, Pa. 4224 Spruce St., who requests more information from members of this family. (Compare p. 443. )
The first of the name to settle in New Jersey was George Mount, one of the original purchasers of Middletown, Monmouth Co., from the Indians in 1665. George Mount bought land jointly with Benjamin Borden, who came from Rhode Island, so it is probable that he also came from the same locality. George Mount was one of the founders of the First Baptist church of Middletown in 1667. He was also deputy to the first General Assembly, held at Portland Point, 166S.
George Mount d. 1705 md. Katherine & had at least 3 chldr: MATTHIAS. RICHARD. KATHERINE.

MATTHIAS. THOMAS.
Richard Mount of Middletown, s. George also owned land on Cranbury Creek, Middlesex Co. He d. 1715 md. Rebecca & had chldr:
RICHARD. GEORGE. Probably JOHN was also his son: the will of this John Mount is dated 1772, he mentions chidr. John, Cath- erine, Phebe, Alice; grandchild; Cloe, daughter of John and grand- child; Joseph, son of Matthias, deceased.
Matthias Mount (Matthias, George) of whom little is known, excepting that mention is made of him in the will of his grand-father George Mount. It is probable that he either md. a Presbyterian or became a member of the Presbyterian church, for the names of 3 men, supposedly his sons, were prominent in the history of the early Presbyterian churches of Ten- nent and Cranbury: these were:
MATTHIAS. HUMPHREY. NESBIT.
Thomas Mount of Shrewsbury (Matthias, George) had 4 childr:
SAMUEL who moved to New York and became the ancestor of the Mounts in that city. He md. Margaret dau. of Adam Dobbs & had 5 chldr. Adam, Joseph, Frances, Thomas, & William. MARY b. May 31, 1715 d.

During the latter part of 1614 he explored the coast of New Jersey in the yacht "Ourest," the first vessel built in New Amsterdam. This vessel was first sailed by Captain Adraien Block.
