| 4. | George Ellery Monroe was born on 2 Apr 1852 in Brooklyn, Kings Co., New York, USA (son of George Thomas Monro and Emily Ann Berry); died on 4 Jun 1914 in Point Richmond, Contra Costa Co., California, USA. Notes:
George was a Master Mariner and Captain of his own sailing vessel. He sailed from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to China.
While he was in port in Vancouver, he saw a picture of Katherine Loretto Carroll. After some correspondence he sent her money to leave Chicago, Illinois and come west. She was to bring a member of her family with her and she took her youngest sister, Star.
George boarded the train one stop before she was to disembark and hired a stateroom. Upon seeing her he said "Kitty Carroll, you are looking at the original George E. Monroe. If what you see, you like, then kiss and bind the bargain. If not I have the money to send you home." They were married on 8 Aug 1888 in Vancouver and she sailed with him.

| 8. | George Thomas Monro was born on 9 Sep 1819 in Bristol, Bristol Co., Rhode Island, USA (son of Thomas Bateman Monro and Clarissa Usher Sanford); died on 23 Aug 1883 in Greenville, Mercer Co., Pennsylvania, USA. Notes:
When he was only nine years old, his mother placed George under the care of Captain Norris of Bristol, Rhode Island to go to sea as a cabin boy for discipline. At age 19 he was captain of his own ship.
When he married, his wife persuaded him to give up the sea. He studied medicine of the Hahneman method and supposedly began a practice, but a directory of Brooklyn, New York in 1849-50 lists him as a painter. The 1850 census shows him living with his family and Margaret Simpson in Brooklyn, New York.
In 1855 he had moved to Greenport, Long Island, New York where he did start a successful practice. He also taught navigation. In a census report of 1860 he listed himself as a mariner.
George used the spelling Monro, but in later years may have added the "e".
After his wife was burned to death from the explosion of a lamp, he took his younger children, George, Hezakiah, Usher, Emily E. and Clara M. to Bristol, Rhode Island. The youngest, Joseph H. was adopted by people named Jackson in Greenport. He then moved to Pennsylvania to join his kin. He later remarried in Pennsylvania.
