The following is a copy of the letter asking for Elizabeth's hand in marriage, Harrison L. Monroe to John H. Broders:

Unison, Virginia
13 Dec

Mr. John H. Broders
Alex. D. C.

Unison, Loudoun County
14 Dec 1844

Dear Sir

It is with some degree of embarrassment I attempt to address you these lines, preferring this method, to making a verbal declaration of my esteem for your daughter and in my humble opinion it is a duty enjoined upon me, and a duty I owe to you and Mrs. Broders as the parents of one who has pledged herself to forsake her parents and all that is near and dear and follow me to the altar and there acknowledge herself the bride of one who has equally pledged himself to love and protect through the various changes of this life and it is my earnest prayer that there may be no impediment to prevent our union.

Notwithstanding you manifested an unwillingness to our union when I conversed with you on the subject I now through the medium of this letter solicit your decided approbation hoping that you and Mrs. Broders have become more reconciled and I shall receive your consents which would be truly gratifying. I can assure you I know of no more satisfaction that I can render than I told you myself. I say to you my situation for my business is as good as any in acquaintance, any satisfaction that I can render you in reflection to my circumstances or character I shall be happy to render. I must now close by requesting you to answer this as soon as convenient.

Yours respectfully,
H. L. Monroe

Notes:

William and his wife, Euphemia (or Alfrina or Uphamy) Campbell moved from Fairfax County to Loudoun County, Virginia. William acquired property on 16 Apr 1820 from Jesse and Martha Burson.

William died intestate but there is an inventory of his estate dated 25 Jan 1848. His son, Harrison, purchased most of the property except a sugar box bought by another son, Stephen and some things purchased by his son, Thomas and others. The total received was $125.04.

William and his wife were both buried in the North Fork Regular Baptist Church Cemetery in Loudoun County, Virginia. One reference says he died on 30 Dec 1847. The "O." in his name is not certain.

Error alert: The Malloy reference says William was the son of George Monroe and Mary Green.

Notes:

William served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War. In order to secure his pension, he requested his neighbor, General John C. Hunter, to certify his service. General Hunter's letter confirmed his service and also mentioned that William had raised eight children.

In 1850, William was a farmer with $3500 in property living with his family in Washington, Ohio.

It is quite possible that this record is a composite of two individuals. Guilford says William was born about 1776.
