William O. Monroe

Notes:

William and his wife, Euphemia (or Alfrina or Uphamy) Campbell moved from Fairfax County to Loudoun County, Virginia. William acquired property on 16 Apr 1820 from Jesse and Martha Burson.

William died intestate but there is an inventory of his estate dated 25 Jan 1848. His son, Harrison, purchased most of the property except a sugar box bought by another son, Stephen and some things purchased by his son, Thomas and others. The total received was $125.04.

William and his wife were both buried in the North Fork Regular Baptist Church Cemetery in Loudoun County, Virginia. One reference says he died on 30 Dec 1847. The "O." in his name is not certain.

Error alert: The Malloy reference says William was the son of George Monroe and Mary Green.

Notes:

William served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War. In order to secure his pension, he requested his neighbor, General John C. Hunter, to certify his service. General Hunter's letter confirmed his service and also mentioned that William had raised eight children.

In 1850, William was a farmer with $3500 in property living with his family in Washington, Ohio.

It is quite possible that this record is a composite of two individuals. Guilford says William was born about 1776.

In 1760, John and Sarah deeded land to Thomas Monroe in Fairfax County, Virginia.

He lived in Truro Parish, Virginia and was one of the early settlers of Oakton, Virginia and was a neighbor of General John C. Hunter. He had other children who were minors when his will was recorded on 28 Jul 1785. He left everything to his widow except his house and land which were bequeathed to his son, William.

The Watson Monroe reference says John's father was "Andrew (1708 ?- ?)".

John's will was dated 28 Jul 1785.
