According to author and colonial Swedish expert Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig, Christopher Mounts, son of Manns Anderson, was married twice and had eight children by those marriages:
“Charles Mounts, who inherited 200 acres of “St. Johns Manor,” sold that land in 1712 and died unmarried in 1713.
Casparus Mounts, who also died unmarried in 1713.
Elizabeth Mounts, who married Andrew Rosenquist c. 1711. On 14 March 1714/5 they sold the other 200 acres of “St. Johns Manor.”
Sarah Mounts, born 7 April 1696, had one daughter, Martha, by her first husband, James Smithson, and married [2] Cornelius Tobey.
Mary Mounts, born 6 Sept. 1698, married John Beedle in 1716.
Ann Mounts, born 9 Jan. 1702/3, married Robert Mercer in 1727.
Martha Mounts, born 16 March 1704/5, married William Mercer, brother of Robert Mercer.
Christopher Mounts, born 18 October 1708, died unmarried in 1738.”
It appears that Martha Childs, wife of George Childs, was a granddaughter of Christopher Mounts and great granddaughter of Manns Anderson.
