| 2. | Henson H. Monroe was born on 2 Apr 1797 in , Loudoun Co., Virginia, USA (son of William Harrison Monroe and Mary Pitt); died on 18 Jun 1853 in Shelby Co., Ohio; was buried on 25 Jul 1853 in Orange, Shelby Co., Ohio. Notes:
Henson was from Virginia, but he moved to Ohio via Pennsylvania and settled in Shelby County, Ohio in 1834. He bought a farm beside the Miami and Erie Canal.
It is said that he fathered 17 children, but only 16 are known. The 1860 census of Shelby County, Ohio shows a Townsend Monroe [21011], age 31, living with the widow Eliza Campbell Monroe. This Townsend could be the 17th child.

| 4. | William Harrison Monroe was born in 1758 in , , Pennsylvania, USA (son of John Monroe and Sarah Jane Harrison); and died. Notes:
William served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War. In order to secure his pension, he requested his neighbor, General John C. Hunter, to certify his service. General Hunter's letter confirmed his service and also mentioned that William had raised eight children.
In 1850, William was a farmer with $3500 in property living with his family in Washington, Ohio.
It is quite possible that this record is a composite of two individuals. Guilford says William was born about 1776.
