Generation: 3

  1. 4.  George Monroe was born in 1708 in , Albemarle Co., Virginia, USA (son of Capt. Andrew Monroe and Christian M. Tyler); died on 24 Mar 1789 in , Rutherford Co., North Carolina, USA.

    Notes:

    In 1752, in Albemarle County, Virginia, he was the administrator of the will of his father-in-law, Arthur Osborn.

    He was from Rutherford County, North Carolina and owned land in North Carolina and Kentucky. He lived in Mercer, Franklin and Shelby Counties, Kentucky.

    He may have been a soldier in the Revolutionary War and possibly fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain in North Carolina.

    George's will dated 24 Aug 1784 (codicil dated 24 Mar 1789) names his wife, Ann Osborn; children Margaret, Isabelle Barnett, Jannett Jones, Arter Monroe, Ann Wilson, William Phillip, Osborn, Mary, and John Monroe. The codicil names his granddaughter, Ann, William's daughter. It was proved in Jul 1789 and probated in Rutherford County, North Carolina and witnessed by Thomas Stockton, John Price, David Mowlin and David Stockton.

    Ann's estate was divided among 7 legatees, which means she may have been George's second wife. His first wife may have been named Sanders.

    The Price and Ellis references say that George is the same person as George [2815]. The Garrigues reference says that George was the son of Capt. Andrew Munroe [201] and a wife to whom he was married before he married Christian Tyler. The Beggs reference says George is the same person as George [3457]. There is obviously a lot of confusion in this area and the correct version is not known to me.

    Notes:

    **********
    [Andrew Monroe] «i»Son of William Monroe (1666-1737) & Margaret Bowcock; Sheriff of Westmoreland County, Virginia, 1733; m. Christian Tyler (widow of cousin Spence Monroe who died 1725/6), with issue - Spence (1727-74, father of President James Monroe), Andrew (c.1730-75), & Jane (m. John Chancellor 1726-1815).

    Northrup 351 - corrected by 'Daughters of American Revolution Magazine' (April 1958) p. 341; Notes by Mrs.deVolt (1957); Encyclopaedia Britannica (1979) on Pres. James Monroe.
    «/i»
    (R. W. Munro's genealogy notes)
    **********

    Andrew inherited from his uncle, Andrew: 1 horse, 1 feather bed and furniture.

    He married Christian (or Christiana) Tyler, the widow of his first cousin, Spence Munro. In 1731, he was appointed sheriff of Westmoreland County.

    One reference gives Andrew's death date as 1733. He died intestate, and his widow obtained an order for administration on his estate on 25 Nov 1735. The Boyer reference says he was born in 1700.

    The Gerald Monroe reference says he married Jane Watts, but other references say Jane was the wife of Col. Andrew Monroe (1697-1770).

    - Johnson, Monroe - Andrew Monroe notes
    - Petersen, Charles A. - letter 2 Feb 1996
    - Boyer, Wallace R. - descendants of Hector Munro 13th

    Spence is named in the will of his step-grandfather, John Jordan. From that will he received a negro, a silver-hilted sword, a drum, a gold ring and a sorrel horse.

    **********
    The following abtract appears in the Westmoreland Order Book:

    "Pursuant to order of court of 29 May 1744: Originall Wroe, John Prince, and william Wroe settled the accts. related to the estate of Andrew Monroe, dec'd, and set apart for Richard Fry the share due him as marrying Christian Monroe, relict and Admx. of Andres. There was a balance due the orphans of Andrew Monroe."
    **********

    In his will, dated 15 Jan 1726 and probated 30 Mar 1726, he left his sword and all his wearing clothes to his brother Andrew, and mentions two small children and one unborn child.

    One reference gives his name as Spens and confuses him with Spence [1628], the father of President James Monroe.

    His wife was Christian Tyler. She married (1) Spence Monroe [3545], then (2) Andrew Monroe [291] (the first cousin of Spence), then (3) Richard Fry.

    She was the sister of Joseph Tyler of Westmoreland County who died 1737 leaving a will in which he mentions as "cousins" (meaning nephews and nieces) several of the children of Christian Monroe.

    One reference says Spence was born in 1697.

    Ref: Clan Munro files - Cones, Mona
    - Eggleston, Sam Daniel, Jr.
    - Johnson, Monroe
    - James Monroe ancestors

    Refs (3) and (4) say Andrew was the son of Andrew Monroe [256] and Eleanor Spence.
