General Notes

He resided in Middletown and moved to Cranbury with his family about 1711.

It has been said that this move was over an argument with the elders of the Baptist Church in Middletown, but whatever the reason, he associated with the Presbyterian Church in Cranbury after this date.
Richard Mount married prior to 1687, Rebecca Wall, as appears in the court records of that date, at Freehold, New Jersey. Garret Wall, brother, gave evidence concerning the mare that he gave his sister, Rebecca, wife of Richard Mount. She was the daughter of Walter and Anne (...) Wall.

Walter Wall and his family came to Middletown from Gravesend, Long Island, and took up town lot No. 4. He was a Baptist, being one of the original members of the First Baptist Church at Middletown, New Jersey.
