Notes:

John Munroe was admitted to the church 1 Feb 1699 together with his father, and sisters Martha Commee, Elizabeth Rugg and Hannah Pierce. He was subscriber for the meeting-house in 1692, and was taxed for the purchase of ministerial land in 1693. He was one of the assessors in 1699, 1714 and 1720; constable in 1700, selectman in 1718, 1719 and 1726; also treasurer in 1718, 1719 and 1720. He was employed several years to ring the bell and sweep out the meeting-house, which shows that he did not consider it derogatory to perform this type of work.

On 13 May 1709, he bought ten acres of land adjoining his farm in Cambridge. On 22 Feb 1723, he gave 20 acres in Lexington to his son, John. This land was sold back to John Sr. in Dec 1725 when John Jr. migrated to New London. John Sr. continued to acquire property in Lexington. In the last deed found for him, he bought land adjacent to that of his deceased father, William.

According to the Andrews reference, John and others had 900 acres granted to them in 1735 for services rendered in an Indian fight at Lamprey River on 6 Jun 1690.

John was honored with the office of Lieutenant in the military. He along with others, had nine hundred acres of land granted to them in 1735, for services rendered in the Indian fight at Lamprey River, 6 Jun 1690.

Lucius R. Paige in his "History of Cambridge, Mass. 1630 to 1877," speculates that Hannah Marrett was John's second wife, but R. S. Munroe argues convincingly in his book about the Lexington Munroes that she was John's first wife.

John's estate was administered by his son William, appt. 25 Nov 1753. No distribution is included in surviving documents. The total value of the inventory of 1 apr 1754 was £791.15.00.

John married Hannah Marrett in 1692 in Lexington, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts, USA. Hannah (daughter of John Marrett and Abigail Richardson) was born on 17 Aug 1668 in Cambridge, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts, USA; died on 14 Apr 1716 in Lexington, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Hannah's headstone reads: "here lyes the body of Hannah Munroo wife to John Munroo aged 42 years 4 months and 19 days died April ye 14th 1716." Lexington vital records shows this same date for her death. Paige gives her birthdate as 17 Aug 1668 in his "The History of Cambridge." There is about a 5-year discrepancy between the life span given on her headstone and that calculated using these birth and death dates.

The Furbush reference says that John's wife was named Hannah Mooer, daughter of Jonathan and Constance Mooer and that they named two of their children after Hannah Mooer's parents.
