Merrill on 13 Apr 1843 and they had two children. Joseph then married (3) Harriet Gaylord of Tioga County, Pennsylvania on 30 Nov 1858. They had no children.

It's possible that data from two different individuals are mixed here.

Joseph and Mary went to Pennsylvania from Rhode Island in 1829 and settled in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania in 1836. Before then they lived in Smithfield and Columbia Townships in Bradford County, and Rutland Township in Tioga County.

He contracted for four adjoining tracts of land totaling about 146 acres 58 perches in Sullivan Township, receiving deeds for acreages when full payment was made. He was a farmer.

Notes:

Dr. Thomas Monro adopted the spelling Monro out of respect for the famous anatomist, Dr. Alexander Monro, Primus and probably also for his son, Dr. Alexander Monro, Secondus both of Edinburgh Medical School during the lifetime of Dr. Thomas Munroe. He was surgeon's assistant in the French and Indian War, served in the Revolutionary War, was taken prisoner and carried to England on the Prison Ship "Jersey". At times, he was called Captain Thomas.

Because he gave medical care to an officer's daughter, he was released and returned to New England with gifts of silver tankards and silver shoe buckles given to him in appreciation.

He moved from Concord, Massachusetts to Bristol, Rhode Island before 1762 and began a medical practice there.

He died in Stonington, Connecticut while visiting a friend and was buried there. In 1900, his great-granddaughter, Lydia M. Cooke [6934] of Bristol, Rhode Island, had his remains brought to her family lot in Juniper Hill Cemetery.

In 1987, Clara Monroe Smith donated some medical instruments that were used by Thomas Monro to the Clan Munro (Association) in Scotland.
