General Notes: Husband - Munson Post

---

He married and lived in Essex County, New Jersey, where he reared a large family, and thence removed to Washington County, Pennsylvania, settling in Morris township about the year 1781. He brought his family and household effects in wagons, and they were several weeks on the way. One incident of their journey was handed down to later generations, which is about as follows: They brought two or three cows with them, the boys of the family taking turns driving and herding them. When they camped for the night the cows were milked night and morning, and as they moved on, the jostling of the wagon churned the milk, thus saving the time and labor of churning the milk. Politically Mr. Post was a Democrat, which was largely the characteristic of his descendants. Just what his religious faith was, is not known, but he is supposed to have been a member of the Church of England.
