**********
The following information is from the Sikes reference:

Thomas Munrow was the second son of John and Sarah if we accept the order of their children given in the "Articles of Agreement" as chronological. We know very little about him. He left no will; no inventory was taken of his possessions; there is no accounting of his estate on record. Some historians and genealogists have suggested that he was the nephew of William, of Lexington, but if this were so, then his father John would have been William's brother.

The first time we meet Thomas is in the records at Taunton in which we find his marriage on October 13, 1698 to Mary Wormwell. There is no "T" beside the entry to signify that it took place in Taunton, but if not in that town, it surely must have taken place not too far away. Mary Wormwell's ancestry is as yet undetermined, but she was probably a member of the Wormall family which appears briefly in early records of Rowley, Scituate and Duxbury. John Munrow may have lived in or near Duxbury in 1674 which could account for the acquaintanceship between the Munroe and Wormwell, or Wormall families.

Thomas and Mary settled in Bristol and the births of three children were recorded there, Elizabeth's being the second oldest Munroe birth in the town. This was apparently the extent of their family, for on February 13, 1705, the records show the death of Mary Munroe, wife of Thomas. Subsequent records indicate that Thomas married again, for we find a wife Margaret, and two more children who seem to belong to him.

**********

There is confusion about the death dates of Thomas and his son, Thomas. Dates in 1717 and 1744 are attributed to both men by various authors. It seems more likely that the elder Thomas is the one that died in 1744 and that his son, Thomas, died in 1717 shortly after his birth.

The Charles C. Munroe, III reference says that Thomas was the son of a Thomas Munro.
