Birth:
Estimate: This birth date is an estimate based on the birth dates of nearest relatives or contemporaries, or based on other clues such as christening date, marriage date, birth order, etc.

Notes:

Robert is sometimes called Major Robert and sometimes Colonel Robert. Maybe he got a promotion. After his wife died, Robert joined the California gold rush leaving his children in the care of a Mr. Lewis. Mr. Lewis later abandoned the children to also go to California leaving the children with their Aunt Mary. Robert was still alive in Dec. 1851, but was ill with hepatitis. He died in California so the children were raised by their aunt and uncle.

His will went to probate in Jun 1855 with William Monroe as executor.

Robert married Lucy Ann Monroe in Mineral Point, Iowa Co, Wisconsin Territory, USA. Lucy (daughter of William I. Monroe, MD and Harriet Thurston) was born about May 1813 in , Delaware Co., Ohio, USA; died about 1846 in Mineral Point, Iowa Co., Wisconsin, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Lucy was educated in the Mineral Point, Wisconsin schools.

Because both Lucy and her husband died young, their children were raised by Lucy's brother, William, and his wife, Mary Jane (Beebe).

Lucy had twins in 1841. Peter died in infancy. Perhaps Lucy and Peter both died at the same time. Robert was anoxic, never married and died in the Monroe Township insane asylum although he may not have been insane. He may have lived there because he was disabled.

Notes:

William had an 1802 copy of a math book with the entry of "New York" in it. He would have been about 16 years old in 1802 so he may have attended school in New York.. He got his medical degree on 2 Feb 1813 in Oneida County, New York .

He went to Delaware County, Ohio in 1814 where he was a medical doctor. His estate was probated on 15 Oct 1821 in Butler County. After his death, his wife moved back to Delaware County where she married Dr. John Loofbourow in 1831. After the marriage they moved to Iowa County, Wisconsin. He was a Baptist.

William undoubtedly had other children that we have not found.

SOME ARTICLES WILLIAM MONROE I, M.D. SAY DIED OCTOBER 10, 1818.

Dr. MONROE II, was born July 30, 1818, near Cincinnati, Ohio, son of William and Harriet (THURSTON) MONROE, both natives of New York. They had two children, Lucy Ann and William, the former of whom married Major Robert W. GRAY, of South Carolina, and is now deceased. "The father (Dr. William Monroe I) was a student from boyhood, and when he became a man took up the practice of medicine, which was his calling throughout life. He prepared for his professional career in New York, and practiced in Ohio, dying near Cincinnati, when his son William was an infant of two months. His widow married, in 1831, Dr. John LOOFBOUROW, and died in 1835, when forty-six years old. She and her first husband were members of the Baptist church. Lemuel MONROE, the grandfather of our subject, was a veteran of two wars, the Revolution and the war of 1812. He lived to old age, was twice married, and had children by both wives. Daniel Green THURSTON, the Doctor's maternal grandfather, was of English descent, and was a relative of Gen. GREEN, of Revolutionary fame. By occupation he was a farmer. He reached the age of eighty-two, and was the father of fourteen children." From the Centennial article Green Co., Wisconsin History

He died without will so that the administrators Hesekiah Smith and Harriet Thurston Monroe took inventory of his estate and sold his goods and "chattel" at Mechanicsburg, now Westminster Ohio (Butler Co.) Mr. Smith was a Baptist Minister and the founder of Mechanicsburg.
