My 2nd Great Grandfather

Jonathan S. Mount

Generation No. 5

JOHNATHAN S⁹ MOUNT  (SAMUEL⁸, MATTHIAS⁷, RICHARD⁶, MATTHIAS⁵, RICHARD MOUNT⁴ SR., GEORGE³ MOUNT, RICHARD², GREGORY¹) was born July 13, 1826 in Nottingham, Burlington, New Jersey, and died December 29, 1885 in West Windsor, New Jersey.  He married (1) ELIZABETH ANN PERRINE 1845 in Hamilton, Mercer, New Jersey.  She was born May 12, 1825 in Warrenton, Union, Ohio, and died February 09, 1865 in Hamilton Square, New Jersey.  He married (2) MARY T. MOUNT 1867 in Baptist Church of Hamilton Square, New Jersey, daughter of ENOCH MOUNT and SOPHIA MOUNT.  She was born 1833 in New York, and died Bef. 1880 in West Windsor, New Jersey.

The American Civil War (1861 - 1865) was one of the most violent times in the History of the United States. Many books have been written on all aspects of the Civil War.

More than 600,000 men gave their lives for their country in this war. This is more lives lost in one war than in all wars and conflicts combined following this period in time."War is a hellish way to settle a disagreement"

Earliest mention of the local area in the 1600s refers to it as a wilderness with several Indian camps. Founded in 1818, it was named Centerville because it was the geographical center of the state. Until then, adjacent heavily wooded lands were called Magrilla (origins unknown). In 1814, after the completion of the Bordentown and South Amboy stagecoach turnpike, William McKnight, director of the turnpike company, built a tavern at the intersection of the turnpike and present-day Windsor-Perrineville Road. A major thruway between New York and Philadelphia, the turnpike replaced Old York Road, which started out as a Native-American path prior to European settlement. In 1816 the local section of the stagecoach turnpike between New York and Philadelphia ran along Main Street. In late 1831, the Camden and Amboy Railroad was constructed through Centerville. The village became a stopover for rail travelers, and a thriving center for the bountiful farms and mills which serviced the growing population. It quickly became the largest village between Yardville (Sand Town) and Hightstown, and was renamed "Windsor" in 1846 to avoid any confusion with a Centerville post office in Hunterdon County.

Between 1861 and 1865, Jonathans wife Elizabeth and six of his twelve children, Died from Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever. I found this information on their death records. He remarried in 1868 to Mary T. Mount from New York. They are all buried at Hamilton Square with 5 generations of Mounts
