The following is from "William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine" - Vol. XIII #4 - Oct 1933 - The Monroe Family - p. 231-241:
Rev. Andrew born 1660, resided in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. He married Sarah Smith, whose will in on record in that county dated 31 May 1725. She was the daughter of Arthur Smith of that county who mentions her in his will of 1697, and the widow of Robert Pitt of Newport Parish, Isle of Wight county. Rev. Andrew and Sarah (Smith) Monroe had four children, named in her will of 1725.
**********
Rev. Andrew Monro was Rector of Upper Parish, Isle of Wight County, Virginia 1700-1719.
He may have come to Virginia with his brother, John about 1690, after they both completed their educations as clerics in England. They were of the Church of England.
In 1693 his household included Peter, a seven-year-old Indian boy who was a slave or a foundling.
Andrew was minister of Established Church, Virginia, on record in 1696, and was named after his uncle, Major Andrew.
He was buried under the aisle of the "Old Brick Church" (now called St. Luke's) near Smithfield, Virginia.
His wife was the daughter of Colonel Arthur Smith (or Smyth) of Isle of Wight County, Virginia, and the widow of Robert Pitt of Newport Parish, Isle of Wight County, Virginia. One reference says they married in about 1672, but that seems a bit early.
**********
Error alert: The Boggs reference says Andrew was a son of David Munro III of Katewell. Most references say Andrew was David's grandson.

| 4. | Rev. John Monro was born in 1620 in , , , Scotland (son of David Munro, III of Katewell and Agnes Munro); died in 1724. Notes:
Rev. John Monroe studied for the ministry in England and migrated to Virginia in about 1650. For several years, he was minister of St. John's parish, Pomunkie, King and Queen County, Virginia (probably Pomunkey Neck, between the Pomunkey and Mattapony Rivers.)
He witnessed a disposition by his brother Alexander Munro of Katewell in 1688.
John married, Christian the daughter of Commissar Blaire. The supposed birth dates of Christian and John's two sons may be in error or Christian may not have been their mother.
**********
The following is from Mackenzie's "History of the Munros of Fowlis" - p. 31
John studied for the Church and emigrated to America, his brother Andrew being there before him, where for several years [he served as] minister of Pomunkie, Virginie. He married there, with issue - several children, whose descendants, according to the late Alexander Ross, lived and are still numerous in the United States. Probably one of his sons was the Rev. Andrew Monro, minister of the Established Church, Virginia, on record in 1696, and named after his uncle, Major Andrew. A Rev. John Monro, appears as a rector in Northumberland County, Virginia, in 1692."

David married his second cousin, Agnes Munro. He appears as portioner of Katewell in 1641, so his estate may have been divided in his lifetime.
Error alert: Mackenzie has David as the son of Euphemia Munro. Boggs has David as the son of Catherine Mackenzie.
