Mounce was married to Helena/Elenor/Elina, who it has been suggested as pure speculation, might have been Mounce's cousin Helena Eleanor Hulings, a daughter of Michael and Anna Hedge Cocke Hulings. There's no proof of that that I've seen. According to the Craig genealogy of Hulings/Huling, Michael Hulings had at least nine children with only two reaching adulthood: Jonathan and Susannah. The Eleanor who it's been suggested might've been Helena died young. Craig indicated that she was buried 9 Jan. 1744/5 Christ Church, Philadelphia.

Mounce & Helena/Elenor/Elina Huling both died young, possibly of the plague, leaving young children. According to the Huguenot Society of Charleston, SC, two of their children were John Huling b. 1 Nov. 1743 who m. Sarah Seely and Margaret Huling b. 9 Sept. 1747 who m. George Thomas. According to other sources, there were additional children for a total of five: Marcus, John, Mary, Margaret, and Sarah.

Mounce died about 25 Feb. 1748, which was the date when the inventory of his estate was submitted. After Mounce and Helena/Elinor/Elina died, Mounce's father Marcus Huling, Gabriel Shaller, and William Dennis were named administrators of Mounce's estate on 1 May 1748.

Mounce and Helena/Elenor/Elina Huling had resided in Philadelphia Co., PA. Berks Co. is today comprised of part of what used to be Philadelphis County. According to Craig, Mounce died in Manatawney, Amity Twp., Berks Co., PA. The boundaries of Amity Twp. today are almost identical to the boundaries of the Swedes' tract. In Oct. of 1701, thanks to Lutheran pastor Andreas Rudman meeting with Gov. William Penn, 10,000 acres of the Schuykill River near Manatawney Creek were set aside for his congregation. Were Mounce and his wife members of that congregation? The Amityville Lutheran Church was four or five miles north of Douglassville. It has a large cemetery, which date back to the mid-1700's. The Amityville Cemetery (Amityville Lutheran Church Cemetery or Saint Pauls Church Cemetery) might be where Mounce and his wife were buried, if not in one of the Huling family cemeteries.

Mounce's given name was also sometimes spelled "Mans ,Mouns, Mons, or Magnus."
