52.                1.    THOMAS6 MOUNT (MATTHIAS5, RICHARD MOUNT4 SR., GEORGE3 MOUNT, RICHARD2, GREGORY1) was born April 18, 1728 in Freehold, Monmouth, New Jersey, and died April 19, 1818 in Shelbyville, Kentucky.  He married MARY CLAYTON 1756 in New Jersey.  She was born September 04, 1734 in New Jersey, and died September 15, 1815 in Shelbyville, Kentucky.

According to Thomas Mount's tombstone, located in Shelby County Kentucky, Thomas was born on April 18,1728.( probably in or near Freehold, Monmouth County New Jersey. Matthias lived there until 1745 when he moved to Cranbury, Middlesex

New Jersey. On October 24, 1755 his father purchased land from Jeddah Stout of Windsor Township, and Thomas witnessed the transaction). Prior to 1757, Thomas Mount married Mary Clayton,(we have not found Mary's parents) born September 4, died September 15 she is buried next to Thomas.

According to The Hunterdon County New Jersey Court of Common Pleas Minute Book, No.9, page 53, October Term 1764. The Sheriff returns his writ of attachment against George Garrison in the hands of Thomas Mount by the sum due to the defendant on a bond of Twenty three Pounds one Shilling due from the said Thomas Mount in the pres hence of Mary Mount and John Doe Etc. And the said defendant being three times called did not appear, but made default. Therefore Ordered on Motion of Jno. Coleman for Jno.

Pigeon that the defendant first default be recorded and that Micajah How Esq., James s Curnings and John Cochran be appointed Auditors to Settle and Adjust the defendants and to with his Creditors or with to man y of them as apply for that... On April 22,1772, Thomas witnessed the will of Peter Prall, Amwell  Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey  Reference: Hunterdon County, New Jersey, Vol 34 - Wills V, 1771-1789, p.403

The Acts of the Council and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey, from the establishment of the present government to December 1783, chapter LXX)(I. An act for the speedy and effectual recruiting of the four New Jersey Regiments in the Service o f the United States. Passed April 3, 1778. Page 42 states in par t that, "Persons appointed for each County to pay the Bounty were e empowered to borrow a certain Sum of Money for that purpose o n the Credit of the State and to give Notes with Interest at 6 per cent, payable at the Expiration of six Months or one Year, in n the option of the Lender.".

*In the New Jersey Treasurer's Book; Revolutionary War Number 1 ; Miscellaneous Accounts page 126. July 17,1779, item 397 "Thomas Mount money borrows for recruiting the New Jersey Battalions . . 747 pounds 5 shillings".

*In the Account book of John Stevens Jr. with the State of New Jersey, October1, 1778 - November  17,1780, (document in Record Group: Department of Defense-, Sub Group: Military Records; Series Revolutionary War.- Box 6 Item 9, division of Archives, Trenton, New Jersey), dated July 17, 1779 To Do (cash paid) Thomas Mount Money borrowed f or recruiting... 747 Pounds 5 shillings.

On or about April 21,1778, Thomas Mount and his wife sold his plantation in Amwell Township, Hunterdon County New Jersey to George Hide, George Hide gave Thomas Mount a Bond of Indemnification of twelve hundred pounds to indemnify him against a certain mortgage which was then against the plantation given to Thomas Farmer. 3

Reference: Hunterdon County, New Jersey Court of Common Pleas No. 897, George Hide vs. Thomas Mount. Affidavit of David Bishop filed June 11, 17 85.Recorded in the Miscellaneous Records No. 6699 of Hunterdon County, New Jersey, is Promissory note, dated October 29,1782, from George Hide of the Township of Amwell, Hunterdon County, for the sum of 360 0 pounds of the current lawful money of the State of New Jersey , to Thomas Mount late of Amwell township, Hunterdon County, now of Loudoun County, State of Virginia.

By 1782 Thomas and family were living on Cooper's 150 acre estate in Loudoun County, Virginia. Reference: Loudoun County, Virginia Tax Records for 1782 and 1784; Personal Property Taxes for 1782-85-86 and Loudoun County Tithables: 1758-1799 , Reel No. 99 at Virginia State Archives, Richmond, Virginia. He remained in Loudoun County until 1788, when he moved to Prince William County, Virginia Where he lived gets confusing here because he is taxed for personal property in both Prince William County and Wood County for the years 1804 and 1805. It is possible that Thomas Mount moved to Wood County in 1804, because both Thomas Mount and his son Thomas Mount were in Prince William County- in 1803, but there is only one Thomas Mount on the Prince William County Property Tax lists for 1804 and by 1806 only William Mount is in Prince William County.

To further confuse the issue, is a deed in Harrison County, Virginia date d July11, 1788 whereby Thomas Mount as the assignee of John Drew w, who was the assignee of Jonathan Folle, paid two pounds to the Treasury of the Commonwealth of Virginia for a Certificate in Right of Settlement given by, The Commissioners Adjusting the e titles to Unpatented Lands in the Districts of Monogalla and Yohagania, for three hundred and fifty-five acres.

Elijah Mount, sold his one twelfth part of this property on November 7, 1821, to William Martian Jr. for fifty dollars. On December 23, 1829, Mary Mount Barnett, daughter of Thomas Mount sold one twelfth share of the property to William Martian Jr .for fifty dollars. On July 10, 1837, Hannah Mount Maddox, sold her one twelfth share of the land to William Martin Jr. for over three hundred dollars.

When Thomas left Prince William County, he moved to Wood County where he had purchased 1,000 acres of land from Henry Enoch on Marc h 12, 1801 10. He subsequently purchased thirty-one and a quarter acres from John Lockhart in 1804.11 On June 6, 1804, the deed f or 1,000 acres from Henry Enoch was rerecorded. However, when Thomas sold the land in Wood County to his son-in-law, John Barnett, on March 5, 1807 only one hundred and Twenty one and half acres remained. The rest of the one thousand acres, or eight hundred and seventy eight and a half acres, Thomas had lost in Chancery Court to James Gillespie and to the heirs of Robert Thornton. Thomas, on February 25, 1805, gave his power of attorney to Hugh Phelps to try and recover some of the money he had given to Henry Enoch.

According to a document by Isaac Shelby the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, signed January 31, 1795, John Holder and others were granted a certain tract of land containing 60,00 0 acres of land in Fayette County in consideration of eight Land Office Treasury Warrants. This land was next to 49,665 114 acre s of John Holder and John Taylor's survey.

On September 22,1789, John Holder and John Taylor of Fayette County, District of Kentucky, Commonwealth of Virginia and Thomas Mount 53 of the County of Prince William Commonwealth of Virginia agrees that They would pa y 1,500 pounds to Thomas. The conditions of the obligation was that John Holder would assign six thousand and fifty and one quarter acres of land, part o f a survey of 50,000 acres of land in the District of Kentucky . The land to be laid off in such a manner as to make it equal in value to the same quality of land in any other part of the survey as near as it may be possible to do by disinterested parties , with out any expense to Thomas except that which would have be en incurred if the warrant had been located over his own name.

"Now when John Holder shall comply with the conditions of this obligation and shall be carried fully into effect, then this obligation to be void else to remain in full force and virtue in law , signed John Holder and John Taylor." Thomas agreed to be  proportional part of the loss of any land that may be taken by prior claims interfering with the respective survey. "I a m to have 6, 055 1/4 acres out of 50,000 acres that is I am to loose in proportion as 6,055 1/4 is to 50,000 acres. Signed Thomas s Mount."

It appears from the court records in the case of Thomas Mount v s John Holder, that when Thomas arrived In Kentucky he was unable to get title to the land he had paid for, nor was he able to get his money back, so he sued, John Taylor, Dorothy Combs , Sophia Holder, John Holder, Caleb Holder, Rachel Holder and Frances Holder. The Sheriff of Clarke County was to summon them to appear in Lexington before the Circuit Court of Fayette County, on June 3,1806, to answer a bill in chancery against them and other s by Thomas Mount. 17 The bill in chancery was filed by Thomas' s lawyer, Henry Clay.

Although the case was filed on March 4,1804, the case was continued and continued then on June 26,1817, the defendants in the case replied through their lawyer, Richard C. Holder, they demanded strict legal proof that the allegations as set forth in the suit were true.

On August 11, 1817, Thomas notified: Samuel Combs and Theodora Combs, his wife, Richard R. Williams and Catherine Williams, his wife, Thomas Jones and Lydia Jones, his wife, Edward McGuire  and Fanny McGuire, his wife Richard C. Holder, Caleb Holder and John C. Holder, heirs and representatives of John Holder deceased , that he would take their depositions at the home of Samuel Combs in January in Marysville, Kentucky, on the first Monday of November 1817. He would also take depositions from Samuel Canby and others on the second Monday of October 1817 at the house of James Chambers in Marysville, Kentucky and would take secondary depositions a t the house of May Taliaferro in Winchester, Kentucky and so on. On October 7,1817 Elijah Mount, swore before the Justice of the Peace, that he delivered the attorney of the defendants wit had true copy of the matter and on the same day served Samuel R . Combs, Thomas Jones and Edmond McGuire with true copies and o n October 4, 1817 he served Richard C. Holder with a copy 

An affidavit was obtained from Sam Ganby, on October 4, 1819, on e of the witness to the agreement between Thomas, John Holder and John Taylor, that the agreement was signed at Ballstown, Frederick County Virginia at Charles Smith's house on September 22,1789 , Ganby was at this time a resident of Jefferson County Indiana.  Another affidavit was obtained from Sam Granby in Warren County Ohio on November 1817 repeats his above affidavit.22 On January 8,1818 in Lebanon, Warren County Ohio, still another affidavit taken, repeating what had already stated. 

During the September 1818 of the Fayette County Circuit Court, the Court was advised that Thomas Mount had, "Departed this life" , and that the suit be revised in the names of his heirs, which are listed.24 On November 15, 1818, a deposition of John Johnston, who stated he was well acquainted with the Mount family , lists the heirs of Thomas Mount.25

Finally, during the March 1825 term, the Fayette County Circuit Court pronounced an interlocutory decree. As a result, a survey of John Holder's 50,612 _ acres was made, by John Wilkerson and Thomas Hart, and the amount of 6,556 _ acres was marked for Thomas Mount's heirs. The Court, after the survey directed the defendants to transfer the property on or before June 1,1826, by deed.

The land was transferred to Thomas Mount's heirs on June 26, 1826. So now Thomas Mount's heirs have the land their father purchased in 1795, right? Wrong! On October 7, 1829, the Court of Appeals for the State of Kentucky, because of errors, returned the case to the Circuit Court in Fayette County, for retrial. So back to the court they went. On February 6,1830, Henry Clay filed an amended bill naming each of the heirs of Thomas Mount as parties to the suit.29

On May 24,1830, the sheriff of Fayette County went to summon the defendant to court again.30 On May 24,1830, Henry Clay filed an amended bill, naming the heirs of the heirs of Thomas Mount. The grandchildren of Thomas Mount.31 1835.32(?) Ac cording to a publication in The Kentucky Reporter, the case was to be heard again on June 24, Clay had to file still another amended bill, undated because the heirs kept dying.

On September 15,1835 the Mount heirs again won their case in the Fayette County Circuit Court, and again a survey of the land was taken and again the same area as had previously been awarded t o the Mounts was given to them again.

The final irony of this whole sordid mess is that on April 8, 18 48, William Beatty, one of the heirs of Thomas Mount and the authorized agent for several more of them and the attorneys for the whole of them went forth and demanded possession of the land decreed to the heirs from the persons he found on the land. All persons on the land claimed that they had bought the land from James Gay, who had purchased the land from a, Bryant, in 1819 or 1 820, who represented himself and acted as the agent of the heir s of John Cafre. All the possessors of the land refused to deliver to him, William Beatty, possession of the land or to recognize his title or that of the Mount heirs. That was the end of that. Thomas, after discovering the 6,050 1/4 acres he believed he had purchased but could not gain possession of, moved to near Shelbyville, Kentucky, on both sides of Little Bull skin Creek, and purchased another" plantation" of 227 acres from a Merfield.

In Thomas's will dated October 30,1815, proved May 1818, other than the above mentioned land, he directs that 1500 acres of land in Harrison County, West Virginia and a tract of land he purchased from Daniel Moon, in Franklin County, Kentucky be sold and the proceeds be divided among his heirs. These pieces of property we have not located.

Will made October 30, 1815. Probated in May 1818.

Notes for SAMUEL VAN HOOK:

A problem arises at this point. There apparently were more than one Samuel Van Hook that moved to Kentucky. Therefore, the following lines maybe distorted. Some of the children may belong to Samuel 1 or Samuel 2 or 3. A Samuel and Benjamin are listed in the 1790 Russell Co., VA Personal Property Tax List (former part of Washington County), along with Lawrence and Aaron (which is apparently Aaron and Black's son and grandson. One Samuel married Hannah Higgins and the other, its seems married Hannah Wilson and Hannah Trousdale.
