RESPONSE: "HISTORICAL & GENEALOGICAL MISCELLANY" by John Stillwell, M.D. VOL. IV PG 118 "15, Margaret Mount, daughter of Matthias Mount, 5, had a license to marry, dated Mch. 14, 1739-40, with James Herbert, yeoman, both of Middletown, she a spinster and the daughter of Mathias Mount, who gave his consent; Joseph Mount, yeoman, being surety. . . . .pg. 119.

Children: Timothy Mount; (daughter) Mount; Margaret Mount; Joseph Mount; George Mount; Matthias Mount. PG 112 "3 Matthias Mount, son of George Mount, 1, has a wife Mary, and two sons mentioned in the will of their grandfather as not of age when it was made, Feb. 16, 1702-3. "I believe Matthias Mount may also have had a daughter Mary, who married her first cousin, because John Mount, son of Richard Mount, 4, had a wife Mary, born in 1694, according to a Bible record, and he named his, apparently eldest, son, Matthias. "Matthias Mount died in the spring of 1695. "1695, Apr. 10. An inventory of his estate was taken by Safty Grover, Francis Harburt, Jarat Wall and Ed (?) Lawrence.

Lawrence" is Stillwell's question mark. A look at the original inventory might help. To my knowledge there is no Ed Lawrence in Monmouth Co. at this time. There is a lawyer, Robert Lawrence, who witnessed many things. And, there is an Elisha Lawrence, very prominent in the area. I'd bet on Elisha. ____________________________________________________________ MOUNT (See HAMPTON) My gr gr grandfather and grandmother was Timothy Hampton b. 1795 d. 5 June 1875 and Maria Mount b.25 Oct 1802 d. 1885.
