| 2. | George Columbus Monroe was born on 1 Sep 1859 in , , Mississippi, USA (son of George Ervin Monroe and Nancy Frances Wilson); died on 16 Jan 1938 in Drew, Sunflower Co., Mississippi, USA. Notes:
Marriage records of Natchitoches Parish list a George Monroe married to Sarah Perin on 18 Mar 1871. George Columbus would have been 12 years old in 1871 so it is believed that the is not a record of George Columbus.
Family lore says that George went to Louisiana and returned with his mother. Her death bed wish was to return to Attala County, Mississippi with her son. The children asked her as she lay upon the bed near death to show them her corncob pipe. She lit and smoked it for them. She died a few days later.
It is believed that George had a son, George W., by his first wife in Louisiana, and was then involved in a crime in Louisiana. He left the state and went to Mississippi and married Betty Harper. Betty died in childbirth. He then married Sarah Elizabeth Morgan and had eight children. He left a letter to each of his children and tried to explain his past to them.

| 4. | George Ervin Monroe was born in 1834 in , , Alabama, USA (son of Robert Ervin Monroe and Sarah H. (Sally) Burnett (Bernett)); and died in Goldonna, Natchitoches Par. Louisiana, USA; was buried on 9 Nov 1912 in Goldonna, Natchitoches Par. Louisiana, USA. Notes:
Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA
George was called a "homesteader". It would appear very probable that he homesteaded land in the Goldonna area or perhaps it was the custom at that time to call anyone that cleared new land a "homesteader". His holdings in his old age were divided between his youngest son, Steven Lafitte Monroe and Steven lafitte's brother-in law, James Isom Conley. Steven Lafitte's brother, George Columbus Monroe's eldest son, George W. Monroe lived on the adjacent property. George Ervin's great grandson's Erve and Elton Monroe, Tilmon Monroe's sons, eventually owned most of the land that passed to Steven Lafitte.
George had tax receipts from Laurel, Mississippi and Goldonna, Louisiana for the year 1871 in his papers.
He was very religious in his old age. He would call his grandson, Itrel, to him, place his hand on the boy's head, pray for him and announce that Itrel would serve the Lord by becoming a great preacher. Itrel became a Baptist preacher upon graduating from Louisiana College.

| 5. | Nancy Frances Wilson was born in Jun 1835 in , Walton Co., Georgia, USA; died on 5 Dec 1924 in , Sunflower Co., Mississippi, USA; was buried in Drew, Sunflower Co., Mississippi, USA. Notes:
Nancy was the daughter of Riley and Rebecca (Fowler) Wilson. The Wilsons were neighbors of the Monroes in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
After George's death, Nancy was denied a widow's pension because the bureau said that George had been AWOL (absent without leave) from 7 Aug 1863 until the end of the American Civil War.

Buried:
Family lore says that Nancy's son, George Columbus Monroe, who lived in Mississippi with his third wife and family, went to Louisiana and took Nancy back to Mississippi for a visit. While she was there, she died and was buried there. George Columbus Monroe lived in Drew, Mississippi, near the "Quiver River" on what was called the Monroe Plantation because of the length of time they had farmed the land. It is assumed that this is Nancy's burial place.
