On New Years’ Eve, 1740, my 6th great grandparents, John Munn, son of Benjamin and Abigail Burt Munn, and Mary Holden, daughter of William and Abigail Edwards Holden,  were married in the colony of Massachusetts.  They were the parents of eight children: John (1741), Mary (1743), Noah (1746) [my 5th great grandfather and a soldier in the American Revolutionary Army], Oliver (1748), Abigail (1750), Sarah (1751), Seth (1754), and Elisha (1755).

Grandmother Munn passed away in Gill, Massachusetts on 8 January 1768.  Grandfather Munn followed 17 years later, also in Gill, on 5 April 1785.
