Notes:

When he was only nine years old, his mother placed George under the care of Captain Norris of Bristol, Rhode Island to go to sea as a cabin boy for discipline. At age 19 he was captain of his own ship.

When he married, his wife persuaded him to give up the sea. He studied medicine of the Hahneman method and supposedly began a practice, but a directory of Brooklyn, New York in 1849-50 lists him as a painter. The 1850 census shows him living with his family and Margaret Simpson in Brooklyn, New York.

In 1855 he had moved to Greenport, Long Island, New York where he did start a successful practice. He also taught navigation. In a census report of 1860 he listed himself as a mariner.

George used the spelling Monro, but in later years may have added the "e".

After his wife was burned to death from the explosion of a lamp, he took his younger children, George, Hezakiah, Usher, Emily E. and Clara M. to Bristol, Rhode Island. The youngest, Joseph H. was adopted by people named Jackson in Greenport. He then moved to Pennsylvania to join his kin. He later remarried in Pennsylvania.
