Notes |
- Thomas Sr. is the son of Elizabeth & Nicholas Mundy, Sr., b 1668 Barbados -1734 Piscataway, NJ.
1678 - Governor Phillip Carteret granted 101 Acres to Nicholas Munday of New Piscataway, a blacksmith.
The name of Nicholas Mundy appears as an owner of land Piscataway in 1686 & as a penholder of the Presbyterian church here in 1794. This family probably lived on the Vineyard Rod, not far from the NB Turnpike. Moses Martin who died several years since at age past 90, told me the first of the Mundy name here was said to have come from the West Indies which arrived at Amboy in 1685, to transfer a large number of 12 persons who had been banished to Jamaica & others probably came before & afterward.
