 1863 - Yes, date unknown
Generation: 1
| 1. | Eborn Arlington Monroe was born in 1863 in , , Illinois, USA (son of Byrum B. Monroe and Mary Sutton Snodgrass); and died. Notes:
Eborn told his daughter, Nellie, that his father, Byram, used to talk about the "falling out" that his father, John had had with several members of the "second" family, I.e. the family of Capt. Andrew Munroe and Christian Tyler. He explained that it had something to do with land in Kentucky and possibly Virginia, and inheritance issues between the "1st and 2nd wives' children"; and that John's family (meaning the 1st wife's children) and his cousin President Monroe's family (meaning the 2nd wife's children) had "parted ways." The inheritance issues stemming from the "supposed" two wives of Captain Andrew Munroe - Christian Tyler and the 1st wife who died young.
The story goes that Byram didn't like to let people know he was the former President's second cousin because of the family feud, and he never told anyone the full story before he died, though he apparently always commented on "that second family's pretentious airs!"

| 8. | George Monroe was born in 1708 in , Albemarle Co., Virginia, USA (son of Capt. Andrew Monroe and Christian M. Tyler); died on 24 Mar 1789 in , Rutherford Co., North Carolina, USA. Notes:
In 1752, in Albemarle County, Virginia, he was the administrator of the will of his father-in-law, Arthur Osborn.
He was from Rutherford County, North Carolina and owned land in North Carolina and Kentucky. He lived in Mercer, Franklin and Shelby Counties, Kentucky.
He may have been a soldier in the Revolutionary War and possibly fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain in North Carolina.
George's will dated 24 Aug 1784 (codicil dated 24 Mar 1789) names his wife, Ann Osborn; children Margaret, Isabelle Barnett, Jannett Jones, Arter Monroe, Ann Wilson, William Phillip, Osborn, Mary, and John Monroe. The codicil names his granddaughter, Ann, William's daughter. It was proved in Jul 1789 and probated in Rutherford County, North Carolina and witnessed by Thomas Stockton, John Price, David Mowlin and David Stockton.
Ann's estate was divided among 7 legatees, which means she may have been George's second wife. His first wife may have been named Sanders.
The Price and Ellis references say that George is the same person as George [2815]. The Garrigues reference says that George was the son of Capt. Andrew Munroe [201] and a wife to whom he was married before he married Christian Tyler. The Beggs reference says George is the same person as George [3457]. There is obviously a lot of confusion in this area and the correct version is not known to me.
