Andrew Monroe

Notes:

Andrew served in the Civil War in Company K, 38th Regiment under Captain Murdock McLaughlin. He and his brothers walked from Longstreet Presbyterian Church to Raleigh, North Carolina to accept their call to duty. During the war, Andrew, Daniel and Duncan were on the battlefield at the disasterous Battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia. Andrew was the only one of the three who had a wife and infant at home. He was on the front line in the battle. Daniel and Duncan were on the field a few rows back. They approached their brother and tried to persuade him to change places with one of them since they were both single men. Andrew steadfastly refused saying that he would retain his assigned place in the battle.

A few days after the battle, Duncan and Daniel found the body of their fallen brother, Andrew. He was buried at the site along with many others. Daniel later returned home with an illness and died. Duncan was taken prisoner and when he did not return home at the close of the war, he was given up for dead. Much later, Duncan did return home in very ill heath and emaciated from life as a prisoner.

A marker was placed in the rock wall of the cemetary at Longstreet for Daniel and Andrew Monroe.

Daniel may have gone to North Carolina from Scotland. He received land grants from three Royal Governors. He was involved in the Massacre at Piney Bottom during the American Revolutionary War.

He operated a toll bridge over the Little River, a grist mill and a tavern, called an "ordinary". During the American Revolutionary War, the Patriots destroyed Daniel's bridge to slow the British army. Later, they paid to rebuild the bridge on the condition that Daniel no longer collect tolls.
