| 8. | Col. Robert Munroe was born on 23 Dec 1716 in , , , Scotland (son of Hugh Munro, of Novar and Isabel Gordon); died on 1 Jul 1804 in Roxbury, Morris Co., New Jersey, USA. Notes:

**********
«i»1) Robert Monro of Flanders, New Jersey was referred to in family legend as "That Old Tory" and "Colonel".
2) He is reputed to have fought in the "French and Indian Wars" for the British.
3) His son James came over with the family. If my great grandmother's information is correct that would have been in 1781 while the Revolutionary War was still active. Robert possibly being called back into service.
4) The New York Munroes have connections to John and Doctor Robert who went to and settled in "Upper Canada" in the Simcoe area as Loyalists.
5) Robert, Sr. also is reputed to have fled to Canada for awhile but returned to settle in Flanders, New Jersey.
6) The supposed discrepancy concerning his date of death is explained by his tombstone which clearly indicates he died 1 July, 1804 and not 28 June, 1803. Apparently Robert suffered a stroke and the doctor informed the family that there was no hope of recovery; therefore an inventory of his goods, which normally occurs after death, was made in June of 1803 leading to the mistaken assumption that this was the date of his death. «/i»
