Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Duncan M. Munroe was born on 11 Sep 1806 in , Moore Co., North Carolina, USA (son of Malcom Monroe, Jr. and Margaret Black); died on 17 Dec 1896 in , , Georgia, USA; was buried in Felton, Haralson Co., Georgia, USA.

    Notes:

    Duncan was a farmer, carpenter, brick mason and millwright. He and his second wife moved to Paulding County (later renamed Haralson County), Georgia in 1842 and settled on lots of land from the government. He operated a mill that was located on the Tallapoosa River on what was later called Munroe Mill road. The Munroe family ground corn and wheat there for many years.

    Duncan owned the first brick home to be built in Haralson County. He donated the land for the Bethlehem Baptist Church.

    After the death of his first wife, Sarah (or Pheby or Ann) Phillips, in 1841, Duncan married her sister, Elizabeth Phillips.

    He was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church (Bethlehem) where he was active until his death.

    He probably died in Haralson County, Georgia. One reference gives his death date as 11 Dec 1896.

    The Thomas George Barry reference says Duncan was the son of Malcolm Munroe and Margaret Patterson, but that is probably in error.

  1. 4.  Malcolm Monroe was born about 1740; and died.

    Notes:

    Malcolm (or Malcom) obtained a land grant on 22 Apr 1763 (or 1760) for land in Drowning Creek, Moore County, North Carolina. Based on that, he probably immigrated from Scotland around 1760. He married the daughter of Archibald and Mary (Patterson) Patterson. Archibald and Mary were first cousins.

    Some references, including the John Monroe reference, call him Donald or Daniel Monroe.

    One reference suggests that he is the son of William Monroe [266] and Margaret Bowcock [267], but this is not proved and does not appear likely.
