| 2. | Ira Hackett Monroe was born on 13 May 1861 in , Posey Co., Indiana, USA (son of Edwin Monroe and Miranda Jane McFadden); died on 16 Jun 1935. Notes:
Ira is listed on the 1860 census, so the reference that gives his birth year as 1862 must be in error. On the 1870 census, Ira's age is listed as 11, which would place his birth in about 1859.

| 4. | Edwin Monroe was born on 30 May 1817 in , Tioga Co., New York, USA (son of Joshua Monroe and Julia Almira Fairchild); died on 31 Jan 1897 in Farmersville, Posey Co., Indiana, USA; was buried in Black Twp, Posey Co., Indiana, USA. Notes:
Edwin's biography in the 1888 Posey County, Indiana history says he was born in Cuyahoga County, New York. There is no such county and it is believed that he was born in Tioga County, New York.
His tombstone inscription reports that he was born 30 May 1813. Other sources say 1815 or 1817.
Both of his parents were dead by the time he was thirteen to eighteen years of age, and he was obliged to support himself at that age.
In 1835, Edwin purchased land from the US Vincennes land Office. He sold the same parcel less than a year later and then purchased a lot in the town of Mount Vernon in 1845.
The 1850 census of Posey County, Black Township lists Edwin as a 33 year old farmer born in Connecticut and owning $1800 in property.
The 1860 census says he was a 43 year old farmer born in New York.
Edwin is found on the 1880 census of Black Township, Posey County, Indiana as a 65 year old farmer, but he is called Edward.
Edwin died of influenza at his home near Farmsville.

Miranda (or Maranda) Jane was the daughter of Joseph (or Andrew) and Missuria (or Nancy) (North) McFadden. Andrew "Tweedle Dum" McFadden was a noted hunter and close friend of Daniel Boon and James Audubon.
One reference says Miranda was born in Iowa. Family legend says that her mother, her future mother-in-law, and she were attacked by Indians in 1828 close to the Ohio River in the vicinity of Mount Vernon, Posey County, Indiana. The two older ladies were killed and Miranda was half scalped. She bore the scars from this injury for the rest of her life.

| 8. | Joshua Monroe was born about 1788 in Montville, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts, USA (son of Joshua Monroe and Sarah Maples); died in Jan 1835 in Mount Vernon, Posey Co., Indiana, USA; was buried in , Posey Co., Indiana, USA. Notes:
Some references say Joshua was born in Hillsboro, New Hampshire, other evidence points to Scotland as his birthplace in 1780-90. In an 1880 census of Posey County, Indiana, Joshua's son, Edwin indicates that his father was born in Virginia. This is thought to be incorrect.
He was in America in the early 1800's living for a time in Cayuga County, New York, where his first two children were born. Other references say they may have lived for short periods in Nova Scotia, Canada and in Virginia. Sometime between 1816 and 1823, Joshua, his wife, Julia, and their three young children made the long migration from New York to Indiana. The likely migration route was by wagon to the vicinity of Pittsburgh, thence by Ohio River flat boat until reaching the thriving port of Evansville or the smaller one at Mount Vernon in the newly opened lands of southwestern Indiana. The presence of a number of contemporaneous Fairchild families in Posey and Vanderburgh Counties would indicate that Joshua and family were part of a multi-family trek.
Family legend says that Amelia was killed by Indians in 1828 close to the Ohio River in the vicinity of Mount Vernon, Posey County, Indiana. Also killed was Mrs. McFadden, wife of Andrew "Tweedle Dum" McFadden. They were the parents of Miranda Jane McFadden, the future wife of Amelia's son, Edwin. Miranda was with the two women when they were killed, and she was half scalped by the Indians. She bore the scars of her injury for the rest of her life. Amelia does not appear on the 1830 census of Posey County, Indiana, with the rest of the family, so she was probably dead by then. Several references say that Joshua was also killed by Indians at the same time, or died shortly after, but Joshua is on the 1830 census. He died shortly before Jan 1835.
Joshua's wife was named Amelia (or Alma) Julia (or Jane) Fairchild. One reference says there were at least three children born in Cayuga County, New York and the rest were born in Indiana. The children's names come from several different sources that do not agree among themselves, so there may be errors here.
In an area where land was cheap and the principal occupation was farming, there was no record of Joshua owning land. His 1835 estate settlement showed he died insolvent. It is probable that he was poor when he went to America and remained in that condition which could account for the lack of records about him.
There are hints that Joshua was the son of Thaddeus Monroe [7326].

A good deal of information about Joshua appears in ref 2. At least one reference says Joshua died in 1823. Ref 2 says he died "of sickness" in Jan 1835.

| 9. | Julia Almira Fairchild was born about 1794 in , Otsego Co., New York, USA; died about 1829 in Mount Vernon, Posey Co., Indiana, USA. Notes:

Some references say Julia was born in Scotland.
There is only indirect proof that Julia's middle name was Almira. She signed her name as Julia A. Monro in 1818.
Julia was the daughter of Levi and Jerusha Fairchild.
She died between feb 1828 and 7 Aug 1830. It is said that she was murdered by Indians.
