MUNT, or MOUNT, THOMAS, Boston 1635, mason. His w. Dorothy d. 28 Feb.
1640, and by w. Elinor he had Faith, wh. d. soon; and Faith, again, 24
Apr. 1645; beside two more ds. whose names are not seen. He d. early in
July 1664, and his wid. m. bef. Mar. 1668, Thomas Hill. Faith m. 21
Nov. 1660, Clement Short (Savage, _Genealogical Dictionary_).

Extracted IGI shows the following marriage --

Raydon, Suffolk

THOMAS MUNT to DOROTHIE ANGIER, 23 SEP 1629

Although Thomas Munt / Mount seems only to have descendants through his
second marriage (to Elinor ---), this clue may prove helpful in
locating his origin in England. Many New England settlers came over
from Suffolk, and there is a New England family by the name of "Angier"
(one of my grandmother's first cousins was given the atrocious name of
Angier P. Hyde, for instance).

John,

Thomas came to New England in 1630 as a servant
of Richard Garrett. Below is the biography of Thomas
that appears in __The Great Migration Begins __ by
Robert Charles Anderson, Vol. II:1316-1318. It is
probable, but of course not certain, that Anderson saw
this marriage and decided it was not the same man.
Richard Garret's origins are unknown, as well.

"MUNT


ORIGIN: Unknown
MIGRATION: 1630
FIRST RESIDENCE: Boston
OCCUPATION: Bricklayer.
EDUCATION: He made his mark to deeds.
ESTATE: In the Boston Book of Possessions of 1645 Thomas Munt
held "one house and lot" [ BBOP 38].
On 25 March 1650 he was given liberty to mow the marsh at Bird
Island [ BTR 1:100]. On 29 February 1654[/5] three competent men
were ordered to view the land "that was granted unto Tho[mas]
Munt, whether it be a meet competency for the land that the town
makes use of his for a highway near unto Mr. Farnesid's house"
[ BTR 1:122]. On 9 April 1649, with others, Thomas Munt agreed to
pay 6d. an acre a year for the support of the school for his land
at Spectacle Island [ BTR 1:95].
On 12 April 1653 Thomas Munt of Boston, bricklayer, and Elinor
his wife sold to William Penne of Braintree, sawyer, thirty-eight
acres of upland and four acres of upland in Braintree; "Tho[mas]
Munt" and "Alice [sic]" made their marks to this deed [ SLR
1:299-301].
On 2 March 165[6/]7 John Samuell of Boston, fisherman, and Lucy
his wife, sold to Thomas Munt of Boston, bricklayer, one-quarter
acre of land "with the trees and brick chimneys" in Boston [ SLR
3:320a-21].
On 23 January 1662[/3] Thomas Munt of Boston, mason, and Elinor
his wife sold to Robert Sanderson of Boston, goldsmith, sixteen
and a half rods of land in Boston near the water mills [ SLR
4:80].
On 10 March 1667/8 Thomas Hill of Boston, tanner, and Ellioner
his wife "the relict & administratrix of the estate left by
Thomas Munt of said Boston, bricklayer," stated that Munt "in the
time of his life together with the said Elener his then wife" in

1662 sold to George Ruggles of Boston, weaver, twenty-six rods
with a drain for a cellar for a new dwelling house, also another
parcel of four rods nearby. The deed was drawn but Munt died
suddenly and did not complete it and by the present document
Thomas Hill and Elinor honored the original deed [ SLR
5:485-487]. On 28 March 1668 Thomas Hill of Boston, tanner, and
"Elener his wife the relict and administratrix of the estate left
by Thomas Munt of said Boston, bricklayer, deceased," confirmed
to James Wiseman of Boston, brazier, "a parcel of land in Boston
.... containing six rods and one tenth part of a rod" which
"Thomas Munt in the time of his life together with the said
Elenor his then wife" sold to Wiseman in 1662, but Munt died
before the deed was completed [ SLR 10:312-13].
The inventory of Thomas Munt was taken 6 July 1664 and totalled
£214 9s. 1½d., including real estate valued at £156 7s.:
"dwelling house, garden and barn," £101 7s.; "four acres of
land," £5; "one piece of land lying between Robert Sanderson and
John Brackett," £30; and "one piece of land lying by Peter
Warren," £20 [ SPR 4:187-88]. Administration on the estate of
Thomas Munt was granted on 9 July 1664 to Elinor, his late wife,
"in behalf of herself and her three daughters" [ SPR 4:188]. On
28 April 1666 the court allowed the division of the estate, one
half to Thomas Hill (husband of widow Elinor) and the remaining
half equally divided to the three daughters: land at the mill dam
and at Spectacle Island to Clement Short, husband to Faith Munt;
land at the common and at Long Island to Thomas Kingston, husband
to Mary Munt; and two pieces of land near Peter Warren's and a
debt owed by William Hersy of Hingham to Patience Munt [ SPR
4:270].
BIRTH: By about 1616 (if he was fourteen at the beginning of his
servitude in 1630).
DEATH: Boston 27 July 1664 [ BVR 94] ("for asmuch as he the said
Munt was taken away by a sad & sudden stroke of death" [ SLR
5:486]).
MARRIAGE: (1) By 1639 Dorothy _____. She died at Boston 28
February 1639[/40] [ BVR 8].
(2) By 1645 Elinor _____. She married (2) by 1666 Thomas Hill,
and was living 23 July 1668 [ SLR 5:480].
CHILDREN:
With second wife

i FAITH, b. Boston 24 April 1645 [ BVR 20]; m. Boston 21
November 1660 Clement Short [ BVR 77].



ii MARY, b. say 1647; m. by 1666 Thomas Kingston (eldest
known child b. Boston 29 September 1666 [ BVR 104]).



iii PATIENCE, b. say 1649; unm. 28 April 1666; no further
record.


ASSOCIATIONS: Thomas Munt came as a servant to RICHARD GARRETT
and finished his time with JOHN WINTHROP when Garrett died [ SLR
3:344-45].
COMMENTS: On 1 February 1659 James Hawkins, aged fifty-six or
thereabouts, deposed that Thomas Munt held title to a parcel of
land near the mill in Boston containing one and a half acres and

that in the year 1636 the said Munt showed me an indenture (which
I read) by the which one Richard Garrit (with whom the said Munt
came from England) was bound to give the said Munt at the end of
the term which the said Munt was to serve the said Garrit the sum
of £20 or fifty acres of land in New England next adjoining to
the lands of the said Garrit; within a short time after the said
Garrit died, and the deceased Mr. Winthrop, then Governor,
entertained the said Munt for the remainder of time to serve,
after the time was expired the said Munt demanded his covenant,
which was referred to Mr. Cotton deceased and to Mr. Wilson to
determine. They ordered the said Munt should have the above named
piece of land for full satisfaction of the said Garrit's
engagement [ SLR 3:334-45].
Savage says that Munt had two daughters named Faith, the first of
whom died soon, but no original record of her is found. This
misconception may be derived in part from the birth record for
Faith Munt, in which the mother is given as Faith [ BVR 20].
Since the probate records for Thomas Munt refer to "Elionor, his
late wife, ... and her three daughters," indicating that Eleanor
was mother of Faith, this would seem to be a scribal error in
which the clerk replicated the daughter's name as that of the
wife as well.
With Walter Merry, Thomas Munt was surety for Thomas Harding when
he was admitted an inhabitant on 28 July 1656 [ BTR 1:131]."

Hope this helps.
