Notes:

Daniel made a petition for land as a United Empire Loyalist. In it he stated that he was the son of Catherine Leech, widow, and that he had attained the age of 21 years, so he was born in or before 1787.

An old family note records "born 1774" in the notes column, but we don't know to whom this refers. It also has the note, Mrs. Mallory, widow, 4 sons 1 daughter. Hannah, later Page, was possibly the widow, Mrs. Mallory, who may have married again after Mallory's death. Her son, James Page stated that he was the half brother of Henry Munro.

Daniel died between 1808 and 1810 as he is listed on the 1808 census of Yonge Township, Leeds County, Ontario, but on the 1810 census, his wife Hannah Munroe is listed.

Daniel married Hannah before 1802. Hannah was born about 1781; died on 19 Feb 1853. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Hannah is believed to have married three times. Early family notes have a "Mrs. Mallory, widow" listed in the remarks after Daniel Munro. Her tombstone, "Hannah Page" was "erected by her affectionate son, Henry Munro, Esq." In another note, her son, James Page, is noted as the half-brother of Henry Munro. Eleanor Munro Garvin (1854-1952), daughter of Henry Munro, in a letter in 1937, says that she remembers Pete Mallory and James Page in connection with her grandmother and the family. In, "History of Leeds and Grenville from 1749 to 1879", on p. 112 listing the Mallory family, is noted a son, Peter Mallory (no wife named), with sons William (deceased) and Peter, living in Oshawa (1879).

By 1837, Hannah was the witness for her Munro sons' land grants and was granted her own land in Markham Township.
