| 2. | John Monroe, I was born on 9 Jan 1772 in , , New Jersey, USA (son of Robert Monroe and Margaret Geary); died on 18 Jul 1862 in , Shelby Co., Indiana, USA. Notes:
Rev. John Monroe's wife was a first cousin of President Andrew Jackson. She was the daughter of Margaret (Kelch) and Samuel Jackson.
John was a Methodist minister (not ordained). He traded a yoke of oxen for a farm in New Jersey, but when the farm proved to be a mountain, he left and moved to Allegheny County, Maryland near Cumberland in about 1794 or 1795. The Eldredge reference attributes this story to his father.

| 4. | Robert Monroe was born in 1750 in , , , Scotland; died on 23 Apr 1803 in , Hampshire Co., Virginia, USA. Notes:
References differ on Robert's birthplace. Some say he came to New Jersey from Scotland with his parents. Others say he was born in New Jersey in about 1750. One reference says his father was a first cousin to President James Monroe, but unsubstantiated claims like this abound.
He had eleven or twelve children. Four of his sons became Methodist ministers.
He was supposed to have traded a yoke of oxen for a farm in New Jersey. But it proved to be on a mountain.
in 1785 or 1795, he moved to Allegany County, Maryland (one reference says Alleghany County, Virginia, and the Eldredge reference says it was probably Cumberland County). He bought property just across the Potomac River in Hampshire County, Virginia (now Mineral County or Hampshire County, West Virginia) and died in Hampshire County, Virginia (now West Virginia). The property was sold by his son, Robert, in 1810.
One reference says his wife died in Rich Hill Township, Muskingum County, Ohio.
His mother's name may have been Mehitible.
