**********
The following is from "History of Houston County" via the George Monroe reference.
The following sketch of Col. A. T. Monroe is furnished the author by his only living son, A. T. Monroe, Jr. of San Antonio.
A. T. Monroe was the son of Augustine Garnett Monroe, who was a nephew of President James Monroe.
"My father had three brothers, named, James, John and Joseph. James was a general in the northern army and his regiment guarded the capital at Washington during the Civil War. He died in harness and his remains lie in the Nathonal cemetery at Washington. A life-like painting of him is now hanging in the armory in New York City. John, his brother, was trader and left his family well provided for in New York City. His brother, Joseph, was a priest in New york City. Mrs. Douglas Robinson of New York City, who was a grandchild of President James Monroe, was a first cosin of my father, and her son married a sister of President Theodore Roosevelt.
My father left Virbinia when he was 18 years old and went to New York City, and my recollection is that he came to Texas in 1842 or 1843, landing at the west end of Galveston Island, instead of the east end, which is now Galveston City. A short time after this he went by ship to Liberty and took a steamboat to Alabama Crossing, on Trinity River, in Houston County. There he remained and went into the mercantile business working with Jacob Albright. In 1846 he married Jacob's daughter, Rachel. He was the oldest child in the family and the only one who came south.
My father had the first wood cook stove that was in Houston County, and had it put up at home, but the negro cook said she couldn't cook on that thing, and the only way he could get her to use it was to have the fireplace walled up. After that she would sneak out to her cabin and cook things in the fireplace. It took our family a long time to get her to use the stove.
A. T. Monroe was one of the most enterprising men who ever lived in Crockett. Soon after moving to Crockett from Alabama Crossing he build a home on the main street of Crockett--the very house is still standing in good condition. It is now the home of George W. Crook and was built in 1854. The large hewed oak sills in the house are as sound today as when the house was built. The outer walls were weather boarded with good, heart lumber, sawed by H. F. Craddock and dressed by hand. The ceiling was of the same character of lumber. The space between the walls was filled with brick and lathing placed on the inside for plastering, which was never completed. In 1880, a daughter of Uncle Dan Coleman sold the place to Oliver C. Aldrich, who lived there until his death in 1889. After that the author became the owner of the property and sold it to George W. Crook and his wife in 1911. The author has heard the old man Salathiel Robert, a brick mason, say that he built the chimneys to the house, and they are standing today in good condition.
**********
Armstead (or Armistead) built a home in Crocket, Texas which later became a museum. The Ruby Monroe reference says he died there.
It appears that he remarried after his first wife died.
The Johnson reference says that Armistead may have been the son of Andrew Augustine Monroe [3556].
Ref: Clan Munro files - Monroe, Ruby Lucille
Armstead may have been born 5 Mar 1818.
