1. Frederick Taylor Monroe was born on 11 Mar 1863 in Spencer, Worcester Co., Massachusetts, USA; and died.

Notes:

Jonathan was born in a long low house on the east side of the road on his father's farm in North Spencer, Massachusetts. He lived there with his parents for many years.

After his father's death, Jonathan and his mother continued to live there until Jonathan built a new house on the west side of the road.

Jonathan was a farmer.

When Jonathan died, he left the house on Wire Hill Road to his son, Walter Marshall, and directed him to give each of his children a certain sum of money except Charles Henry, whom he omitted for some reason. When the will was read, Walter Marshall left out the exception, and paid him an equal share with the rest. Charles Henry never knew his father had intended to have him omitted.

Notes:

Jonathan moved to Spencer, Massachusetts about 1768, but he left Spencer and went to Plainfield, Massachusetts before 1780. His second wife, Sally Coggswell was from Paxton.

At a legal meeting of the inhabitants of the District of Plainfield, in the home of Mr. Simon Burroughs, on Monday, 25 Jul 1785 Mr. Munroe was chosen one of the Surveyors of Highways. The next eight meetings were held at the home of Jonathan Munroe, whose house then stood where that of the late Lewis Shaw stood. In 1964, his home was still standing and in fine condition and owned by Mr. Edward Bloom. Jonathan bought numerous pieces of land in Plainfield. The records of these purchases are in the Registry of Deeds at Northampton, Massachusetts.

Jonathan returned to Spencer with all his eight children except the two oldest. He purchased a farm in North Spencer and lived in a long low house on the east side of the road. His son, Jonathan was born in this house there they lived for many years.

His daughter, Clarissa, was born to Jonathan and Sally Coggswell before he married her. This child was brought up in his family. She was always known to the family as Aunt Kent and was a very estimable woman.

Jonathan was a great hunter and he used to go to Kentucky where he hunted with Daniel Boone.
