Jonas married Alice Butler on 13 Sep 1801 in Oakham, , Massachusetts. Alice was born on 9 Jun 1775 in Oakham, Massachusetts, USA; died on 8 Sep 1857 in Hardwick, Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Alice was the daughter of John and Grace (Black) Butler.

Alice's father was a man of large mind and means, and of commanding position in society. Finding few, if any, advantages for a liberal education in the schools then existing, he hired a private tutor to teach his children in his own house, thus giving them the best facilities in his power. His children, in consequence, grew up with an educational training superior for the times.

Alice became a woman with few equals in general intelligence and culture. She was possessed of a tenacious memory, and was an indefatigable reader, often spending the whole night in reading.

She was highly esteemed by all who knew her. The minister officiating at her funeral, remarked, "She was the greatest reader in Dardwick; in fact, I don't know but what she was the greatest reader in the County" (of Worcester).

Notes:

Jonathan moved to Spencer, Massachusetts about 1768, but he left Spencer and went to Plainfield, Massachusetts before 1780. His second wife, Sally Coggswell was from Paxton.

At a legal meeting of the inhabitants of the District of Plainfield, in the home of Mr. Simon Burroughs, on Monday, 25 Jul 1785 Mr. Munroe was chosen one of the Surveyors of Highways. The next eight meetings were held at the home of Jonathan Munroe, whose house then stood where that of the late Lewis Shaw stood. In 1964, his home was still standing and in fine condition and owned by Mr. Edward Bloom. Jonathan bought numerous pieces of land in Plainfield. The records of these purchases are in the Registry of Deeds at Northampton, Massachusetts.

Jonathan returned to Spencer with all his eight children except the two oldest. He purchased a farm in North Spencer and lived in a long low house on the east side of the road. His son, Jonathan was born in this house there they lived for many years.

His daughter, Clarissa, was born to Jonathan and Sally Coggswell before he married her. This child was brought up in his family. She was always known to the family as Aunt Kent and was a very estimable woman.

Jonathan was a great hunter and he used to go to Kentucky where he hunted with Daniel Boone.
