  1. 2.  Dewitt Clinton Monroe was born on 15 Jun 1855 in Haubstadt, Gibson Co., Indiana, USA (son of Charles Monroe and Nancy Martha Clinton); died on 4 May 1904 in Stumpburgh, Gibson Co., Indiana, USA.

    Notes:

    One reference says DeWitt was born in Vanderburgh County, Indiana, and that he died in Oakland City, Indiana.

    DeWitt's wife was Sarah Elizabeth Elwyn. Sarah's mother died when Sarah was five so she was taken into the home of James T. Elwyn, her half brother. Sarah kept house for James after his wife died. James and Sarah took DeWitt in as a boarder when he was a student at Oakland City College. Sarah and DeWitt later were married.

    DeWitt moved from Gondola to Snakey Point, and then to Oakland City, Indiana.

Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Charles Monroe was born about 1823 in Staser, Vanderberg Co., Indiana, USA (son of Joshua Monroe and Julia Almira Fairchild); died on 3 Dec 1873 in Haubstadt, Gibson Co., Indiana, USA; was buried in Staser Cem., Scott Twp., Vanderburgh Co., Indiana.

    Notes:

    A history of Gibson County reports his birth in 1820, but census records indicate that Charles was born about 1823.

    Charles' parents settled in Vanderburgh County, Illinois around 1821. Family lore says that they came from Cayuga County, New York, but that has not been verified. They died when Charles was 4 months old and he is said to have been raised in Vanderburgh County by John and Christen (Margaret Clinton) Staser who were immigrants from Germany. At age 17, he began trading on the Ohio river (Flatboat) dealing in chickens but lost his money in an unfortunate business deal.

    He married first in 1841 and again in 1843, and settled down into the life of a farmer. In 1848, he bought 40 acres in Vanderburgh County, Indiana, and bought another 40 acres in 1851 in Scott Township, Vanderburgh County.

    In 1850, Charles (possibly known as Tom Charles or Thomas Charles) was a farmer with $400 in property living with his family in Scott, Indiana.

    Different references are in conflict about his children. One reference says he died in 1859 in Scott Township, Vanderburgh County, Indiana. The Miller membership application says he may have been born in Kentucky, and that his wife, Nancy, was born in Nov 1859.

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Joshua Monroe was born about 1788 in Montville, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts, USA (son of Joshua Monroe and Sarah Maples); died in Jan 1835 in Mount Vernon, Posey Co., Indiana, USA; was buried in , Posey Co., Indiana, USA.

    Notes:

    Some references say Joshua was born in Hillsboro, New Hampshire, other evidence points to Scotland as his birthplace in 1780-90. In an 1880 census of Posey County, Indiana, Joshua's son, Edwin indicates that his father was born in Virginia. This is thought to be incorrect.

    He was in America in the early 1800's living for a time in Cayuga County, New York, where his first two children were born. Other references say they may have lived for short periods in Nova Scotia, Canada and in Virginia. Sometime between 1816 and 1823, Joshua, his wife, Julia, and their three young children made the long migration from New York to Indiana. The likely migration route was by wagon to the vicinity of Pittsburgh, thence by Ohio River flat boat until reaching the thriving port of Evansville or the smaller one at Mount Vernon in the newly opened lands of southwestern Indiana. The presence of a number of contemporaneous Fairchild families in Posey and Vanderburgh Counties would indicate that Joshua and family were part of a multi-family trek.

    Family legend says that Amelia was killed by Indians in 1828 close to the Ohio River in the vicinity of Mount Vernon, Posey County, Indiana. Also killed was Mrs. McFadden, wife of Andrew "Tweedle Dum" McFadden. They were the parents of Miranda Jane McFadden, the future wife of Amelia's son, Edwin. Miranda was with the two women when they were killed, and she was half scalped by the Indians. She bore the scars of her injury for the rest of her life. Amelia does not appear on the 1830 census of Posey County, Indiana, with the rest of the family, so she was probably dead by then. Several references say that Joshua was also killed by Indians at the same time, or died shortly after, but Joshua is on the 1830 census. He died shortly before Jan 1835.

    Joshua's wife was named Amelia (or Alma) Julia (or Jane) Fairchild. One reference says there were at least three children born in Cayuga County, New York and the rest were born in Indiana. The children's names come from several different sources that do not agree among themselves, so there may be errors here.

    In an area where land was cheap and the principal occupation was farming, there was no record of Joshua owning land. His 1835 estate settlement showed he died insolvent. It is probable that he was poor when he went to America and remained in that condition which could account for the lack of records about him.

    There are hints that Joshua was the son of Thaddeus Monroe [7326].

    Caddick, George Lewis - letter 28 Aug 1995
    Moye, Catherine Ann

    A good deal of information about Joshua appears in ref 2. At least one reference says Joshua died in 1823. Ref 2 says he died "of sickness" in Jan 1835.

    Joshua married Julia Almira Fairchild about 1815 in , Otsego Co., New York, USA. Julia was born about 1794 in , Otsego Co., New York, USA; died about 1829 in Mount Vernon, Posey Co., Indiana, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Julia Almira Fairchild was born about 1794 in , Otsego Co., New York, USA; died about 1829 in Mount Vernon, Posey Co., Indiana, USA.

    Notes:

    Some references call her Amelia Julia Fairchild. Julia and Joshua were married possibly in Otsego, Tioga or Cayuga County, New York.

    Some references say Julia was born in Scotland.

    There is only indirect proof that Julia's middle name was Almira. She signed her name as Julia A. Monro in 1818.

    Julia was the daughter of Levi and Jerusha Fairchild.

    She died between feb 1828 and 7 Aug 1830. It is said that she was murdered by Indians.
