  1. 4.  William Monroe was born about 1741 in , Frederick Co., Virginia, USA (son of George Monroe and Anne Osborn); died in 1810-1820 in , Henry Co., Kentucky, USA.

    Notes:

    William lived in the Morgan District, Rutherford County, North Carolina. He was a school teacher.

    He may have been the son of his father's first wife, Saunders. One reference gives his birthdate as abt 1750.

    He and a William Gray went into court in Oct 1785 and went special bail for all damages and costs of Addai Osborn, a cousin.

    In Apr 1789 "administration granted William Monroe on estate of John Monroe."

    He went to Henry County, Kentucky around 1795, and was drawing a pension for Revolutionary War services from Kentucky. He may have owned land in both North Carolina and Kentucky.

    William's wife, Margaret (Peggy) Whiteside was the daughter of William and Elizabeth (Stockton) Whiteside, both born in Ireland.

    He may have fought with the Whiteside Boys at the Battle of Kings Mountain in North Carolina.



    An entry on the 1790 census for Morgan District, Rutherford County, North Carolina gives a William Munroe with the following household: 1 white male over 16, 4 white males under 16, and 3 white females. It is not a precise fit with what William's family should have been at the time, but this could be the same William.

    The last known mention of William was in Jul 1795 in Rutherford County, North Carolina.

    He may have died in Indiana.

  1. 8.  George Monroe was born in 1708 in , Albemarle Co., Virginia, USA (son of Capt. Andrew Monroe and Christian M. Tyler); died on 24 Mar 1789 in , Rutherford Co., North Carolina, USA.

    Notes:

    In 1752, in Albemarle County, Virginia, he was the administrator of the will of his father-in-law, Arthur Osborn.

    He was from Rutherford County, North Carolina and owned land in North Carolina and Kentucky. He lived in Mercer, Franklin and Shelby Counties, Kentucky.

    He may have been a soldier in the Revolutionary War and possibly fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain in North Carolina.

    George's will dated 24 Aug 1784 (codicil dated 24 Mar 1789) names his wife, Ann Osborn; children Margaret, Isabelle Barnett, Jannett Jones, Arter Monroe, Ann Wilson, William Phillip, Osborn, Mary, and John Monroe. The codicil names his granddaughter, Ann, William's daughter. It was proved in Jul 1789 and probated in Rutherford County, North Carolina and witnessed by Thomas Stockton, John Price, David Mowlin and David Stockton.

    Ann's estate was divided among 7 legatees, which means she may have been George's second wife. His first wife may have been named Sanders.

    The Price and Ellis references say that George is the same person as George [2815]. The Garrigues reference says that George was the son of Capt. Andrew Munroe [201] and a wife to whom he was married before he married Christian Tyler. The Beggs reference says George is the same person as George [3457]. There is obviously a lot of confusion in this area and the correct version is not known to me.
