Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Otis Munroe was born on 8 Nov 1791 in Spencer, Worcester Co., Massachusetts, USA (son of Amos Munroe and Anna Prouty); died on 14 Jul 1834 in New York, New York Co., New York, USA; was buried in New York, New York Co., New York, USA.

    Notes:

    Various Munroe family notes state that Otis was born in 1797. Indeed, his death certificate states his age as 38 at the time of his death from asthma on 14 Jul 1834 in New York City, and the same certificate lists his birthplace as Boston, Massachusetts. The certificate shows his remains were interred at Bethel Baptist Cemetery in New york, a cemetery no longer active. According to "The Ichnography of Manhattan Island 1498-1909", by I. N. Phelps Stokes, there were three large burying grounds in Manhattan in 1828, one being for the Baptist and Scotch Churches in Wooster Street, near the old Potter's Field, now Washington Square.

    Otis probably moved from Boston to New York City, New York in the mid 1820's. He is found in the 1830 census of New York, and in New York City Directories. He was a printer in New York City in the 1820's and 1830's living in various places in the city including the rear of 31 Orange Street (1826), 27 Mulberry Street (1829-1830), and 117 Orange Street (1832-1834).

    That Otis Munroe, father of Malvina, William and Eliza, is the same person as Otis Munroe, son of Amos Munroe and Ann Prouty, is pure conjecture. However, there seems to be a good case to believe it to be true. The extensive genealogical research of Harry E. Boland led him to this conclusion.

    Nothing is known about the marriage or descendants of Otis Munroe the son of Amos Munroe. Nothing is known about the parents or ancestors of Otis Munroe the father of three. The only problems with assuming the two people are one are: Otis, the son, is recorded as being born on 8 Nov 1791 in Spencer, Massachusetts and Otis, the father, is said to have been born in 1797 in Boston, Massachusetts. Boland explains these discrepancies as follows. During the time in question, the numeral "1" was commonly written in a way that made it look like a "7". It would be easy to believe that this fact could cause an error to be made in one of the birth dates. Also, the information that Otis, the father, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, comes from information given by his widow on Otis' death certificate. Since she was from Pennsylvania, she may not have been very familiar with Massachusetts and Boland conjectures that she may have stated the more familiar "Boston, Massachusetts" rather than Spencer, Massachusetts.

    In light of these plausable conjectures, and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, it is assumed that the two Otis Munroes are the same person, but anyone interested in this genealogical line should be aware that the connection is not proven.

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Amos Munroe was born on 31 May 1747 in Billerica, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts, USA (son of Nathan Munroe and Mercy Benjamin); died on 29 Aug 1820 in Spencer, Worcester Co., Massachusetts, USA.

    Notes:

    Amos came to Spencer, Massachusetts in 1768 and bought a farm there. He married the daughter of Jacob and Ann (Capen) Prouty.

    He served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War.

    "Genealogy of the Lexington Munroes" (by R. S. Munroe) gives Anna's birth as ca. 1758 and death date as 8 Oct 1835. A handwritten genealogy dated 10 Sep 1867 and apparently written by Joshua Munroe, Jr., Anna's grandson, says she died in 1825 age 77. That would put her birth date as about 1748. Both references say she married in 1768. Therefore, the latter birth and death date seem more likely since they would place her at age 20 when she married, while the former set would place her at about age 10.
