Notes:

William served nearly four years as a soldier in the Revolutionary War, first from 6 Apr to 23 May 1777 under Captain Edward Griswold in Colonel Thomas Bilding's regiment, Connecticut Volunteers. He was discharged in Peekskill, New York. He next enlisted for three years in Captain Harmon's company of Colonel John Durkee's Fourth Regiment of Connecticut Volunteers from which he was honorably discharged in 1780 in Morristown, New Jersey.

During his first year he served as a private, then was transferred to Captain Seth Phillip's company of the same regiment, in which he served as a fifer for two years. He engaged in the battles of Germantown, Fort Mifflin, Monmouth and Stoney Point. After his discharge in 1780 he served for six months as orderly sergeant to his old Colonel John Durkee. Later he served a three month's term on a sloop in New York. His interest in military affairs did not abate with the revolution.

He moved in 1792 from Windsor, Connecticut to Chenango County, New York, and settled there on a tract on which the court house in the city of Norwich now stands. There he joined the State Militia serving as ensign, lieutenant, major, and lieutenant colonel between 1797 and 1809. By reason of this service he became generally known as Colonel Monroe.

He served three terms as sheriff of Chenango County and as the member of the Assembly from that county during the session of 1816.

William moved to a farm in the nearby town of Plymouth, New York, where he built a log house and lived until he died. He, his mother and other members of the Monroe family were buried in a cemetery on his farm between Norwich and the village of Plymouth.

His first wife, Sally, was a descendant of John and Eleanor Billington of the Mayflower. Her tombstone in the family cemetery in Chenango County, bears this inscription: "In memory of Mrs. Sally Monroe, consort of Colonel William Monroe, d. Feb. 19, 1811 in the 46th year of her age."
