  1. 6.  William C. Monroe was born about 1802 in , , South Carolina, USA (son of David Monroe and Elizabeth); died in 1850 in Spartanburg, Spartanburg Co., South Carolina, USA.

    Notes:

    William married the daughter of Philip and Sarah Bettis. His parents are not known for certain. He appears on the census in Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1830, 1840, and 1850. The 1850 census gives his birthplace as South Carolina but in Texas in 1880, his daughter gives his birthplace as Massachusetts.

    There is a 1798 land record in Spartanburg that says "next to the line of David Monroe" and because of the 1810 census of one Nancy Monroe and their proximity, it is believed this Nancy is the mother of William C. and the widow of the David Monroe of the land record.

    According to the obituary of his son, John Wesley, William died about 1850.

    By 1859, William's wife, Mary, and his sons, David, William A., and John Wesley, are in Hall County, Georgia. In about 1878, Mary moved to Texas with her son John Wesley and his family.

Generation: 4

  1. 12.  David Monroe was born about 1780; and died.

    Notes:

    On the 1790 census of York, South Carolina is found a David "Morow". The given names, ages and sexes of his children are a perfect match for David's. The person who wrote "Morow" may have simply left out the N.

    There is a land record in Spartenburg, South Carolina, dated 1798 that refers to a David Monroe.

    His wife may have been the Elizabeth who appears on the 1810 census in Spartanburg as a head of household with two males under 10 and one male 16-26 years old, in which case, William C. (b. about 1802) would be one of the males under ten.
