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.

| 9. | 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.
