General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Munn


The facts concerning the early Munn family are very meagre. The Warren, Pennsylvania, Munns descend from the New Jersey family, they coming to Essex County, New Jersey, from Connecticut. Family tradition notes that the emigrant came from England or Wales. Savage gives the early history as beginning with Benjamin Mun or Munn, of Hartford, Connecticut, who died November, 1675. He served in the Pequot war, 1637, moved to Springfield, Massachusetts, married, in 1649, Abagail, daughter of Henry Burt and widow of Francis Ball. His sons John, born 1652, and James, 1657, were both in the battle with the Indians at Turner's Falls, the former leaving a son, John, who may have been the John Munn, of Branford, Connecticut. If so, he was of the third generation in America, his grandfather, Benjamin, of Hartford, Connecticut, being the emigrant. 2
