Generation: 4
| 10. | David Munro was born on 16 Mar 1777 in Bridgewater, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts, USA (son of Alexander Munro and Mary Hutchinson); died on 16 Mar 1827 in Minot, Androscoggin Co., Maine, USA; was buried in Auburn, Androscoggin Co., Maine, USA. Notes:
David acquired a practical education, and in young manhood learned the trade of gunsmith, which line of work he followed for a number of years.
He was an inventor of considerable note for those days, inventing several labor saving devices principally used among the farmers in his neighborhood, and in addition to this was a thorough mechanic and a practical and successful farmer, conducting his operations on a farm in Minot, Maine.
David's deed for property in Minot, Maine (which was first Poland-Cumberland) was witnessed by his father on 31 Jan 1800. He was still in Minot as late as 1820, but in 1830 only his widow lived there. By 1850, Ruth had gone to live with the family of her daughter, Jennet, in Auburn, Maine.
His wife was from Turner, Maine and was the daughter of Nathan and Rebecca Niles. One reference gives their marriage date as 15 Nov 1802, and Ruth's birthplace as Bridgewater, Massachusetts.

Sometime during David's generation, the spelling of the family surname changed from "Munro" to "Munroe". Before that, there is no question that his father, Alexander, spelled his name "Munro." There are several references to this spelling, such as "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register" (1891 - Vol. XLV - p. 246) and "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the revolutionary War" (Vol. 11 - p. 207). The original "Munro" spelling continued until at least 22 Dec 1818 when "David Munro of Minot" entered into a property purchase contracted on that date, and witnessed by "Nathan Munro." A later document dated 2 Sep 1833 for property release is signed by "William Munroe" referencing "my honoured father, David Munroe" and witnessed by his wife "Julia Ann Munroe" and his sister "Eunice Munroe."
This information was noted in a letter postmarked 9 Oct 1952 in a letter from Elsie Record Cowdrey, David's descendant, to her cousin Florence Munroe Shepherd.
