Mary Munn married Edward Riggs (1636-1715).
Various sources have the marriage date of June 14, 1661; however, no citation is available. Other sources show the marriage date as 1662 or 1667. The place of marriage also leaves doubt as many sources show Newark, Hudson County, New Jersey which is not possible as Newark, New Jersey was not founded until 1666. Some show them married in New Haven or Derby Connecticut.
Children:
• Anna (Riggs) Gage (1662-1715)
• James (1664-1744)
• Mary (Riggs) Lindsley (1666-1701)
• Edward (1668-1716)
• Joseph (1675-1744) •
• Martha (Riggs) Freeman (1677-after 1730)
• Elizabeth (Riggs) Lyon(1678-__)
• John (1679-1762)
• Samuel (1681-1730)
• Charity (Riggs) Bowers (1685-1774)
In the late 1950's, much of the remains buried in the First Presbyterian Church yard were moved by the church to a mass grave in a memorial garden in a different section of the church grounds. The area previous to where they were buried was made into a parking lot. The burial ground had fallen into serious state of neglect and disrepair previous to the project. The remaining intact headstones were placed in storage in the basement of the church. Compiled by Jack Victor Williams.
I originally had her date of death as 1688, however Cindy Stults recently provided the following information:
I believe Mary Munn Riggs died after 8 Apr 1691. She is listed in multiple histories of
Newark, Essex County, New Jersey as having 'joined with her husband in deed of
sale of their home lot to John Brown Jr. 8 Apr 1691'.
As a result I have changed the date of death to 1691.
