Generation: 2
| 2. | James Monroe was born in 1766 in , Lunenburg Co., Virginia, USA (son of William Thomas Monroe and Mary Ramsey); died in 1840 in , Halifax Co., Virginia, USA. Notes:
James' wife was called Sally. One reference calls her Rebecca.
He is listed on the personal property tax lists as under 21 in Apr 1787 and over 21 in Apr 1788, so he must have been born between Apr 1766 and Apr 1767.
James bought 86 acres in Campbell County, Virginia from Josiah Crews on 6 Oct 1796 for 66 pounds 13 shillings (Deed book 4 page 49). James and Sarah sold this land to David Tolbet in 1814 (Deed book 10 page 293).
Dates of the children's birth come from 1810 census of Campbell County with the assumption that children not in 1810 census were born between 1810 and 1820. There may have been a son between Martha and Nancy who died before 1840.

| 8. | John Monroe was born in 1719 in Lunenburg, Lunenburg Co., Virginia, USA (son of Col. Andrew Monroe, III and Jane Watts); died about 13 Mar 1809 in Mecklenburg Co., Virginia, USA. Notes:
On 20 Feb 1794, John sold a tract of land on the Rocky Branch of the Nottoway River which appears to be the same tract of land purchased by William Monroe 32 years before. This is the only evidence linking John as a possible son of William.
The Gerald Monroe reference says that John was the son of Andrew Monroe and Jane Watts.
John first appears in the records of Mecklenburg County, Virginia in 1784 when he received a land grant of 444 acres of land on the south side of the Roanoke River. He sold half of the land on 8 Jan 1787.
On 16 Feb 1808, John sold the other half of his property because he apparently planned to move to another state. He died before he completed his move. His estate was valued at 668 pounds 3 shillings and 6 pence.
Error alert: There is a lot of confusion surrounding this person. It is possible that this is actually the record of two different men named John Monroe. Some researchers say he was the son of William Munro and Mary Smith. There are two children listed in this family named John who are alive at the same time which is almost certainly an error.
