George was the son of George Columbus Monroe and his first wife. He told his children that he was placed in an orphanage, but was unhappy there. He went to live with Steven Lafitte Monroe, who was only four years older than he was.

There is a marriage record of a George Monroe marrying a Mary Dixon on 7 Mar 1900, but it is not known whether this is the same George Monroe.

Buried:
George's tomb stone says he was born in 1881. A grandson of George William Monroe's thinks that George's tomb stone was placed on the grave of George's son, Walter Lee, and a correct grave stone was made for George "Walter" Monroe.

George married Donnie Moore on 9 Mar 1905 in , Natchitoches Par., Louisiana, USA. Donnie was born on 4 Mar 1887 in Goldonna, Natchitoches Par. Louisiana, USA; died on 21 Jun 1970 in Goldonna, Natchitoches Par. Louisiana, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Donnie was the daughter of William and Alice (Rice) Moore.

Her actual given name was too difficult for the children to pronounce so she became known as Donnie, the name she used when married.

She raised two deaf daughters, Annie and Becky, who were shchooled in the Louisiana School for the Deaf in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Buried:
Her gravestone lists her name as Donne.

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.
