Notes:

At the age of 15, Francis entered the military school in Columbia but stayed only a short time. He went to Yorkville to be with his older brother. He entered the Coward-Jenkins Military School there and stayed two years.

After leaving Yorkville, he went to Lauriburg, North Carolina, where he attended the high school, studying Latin and French, preparing for the study of medicine. A few years later, he entered a medical college in New York where he sstudied medicine for two years. He left New York during the John Brown raid when most southerners left the area, entering Charles Medical College in Charleston, South Carolina, where he completed his study of medicine in 1860.

He began practicing medicine in 1861 in Marion, South Carolina, but enlisted in the army at the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War later that year. He became ill just before his regiment left, so he was unable to accompany it. He enlisted again the next year and was sent to Arkansas to Price's Army. He was with Price's Army on their march through Missouri, and he fought with them in the battles of Fort Smith, Iron Mountain and others. He held the rank of Captain and served as aide-de-camp.

He returned home at the close of the war and moved from Marion to Latta, South Carolina and began practicing medicine there. He was engaged in the mercantile business and also in farming, but the greater part of his time was spent as a physician.

He was very active in civic and religious affairs, especially in the early days of the Latta community. He was the promoter and financer of the first church in the town.

Francis retired from the practice of medicine in about 1905 and spent the last years of his life at his home, seldom going the half mile to town.

Dr. Franklin "Francis" Marion Monroe was one of Latta, South Carolina's oldest and most respected citizens when he died at his home at eight o'clock on the morning of 26 Oct 1910. He was buried in the town cemetery the next day.

Notes:

David's parents were on their way to Florida for her mother's health, when he was born in Georgia. His mother died shortly after. David's uncle, Jack McIntyre of Cumberland, North Carolina, went to Georgia and brought David and other members of the family back home with him.

David lived with his uncle and when he was old enough, he began working in his uncle's store. He did not like the life of a clerk and so he left to join his father, who was a mechanic in business in the District of Marion (later Marion County) South Carolina. He made Marion his home for the rest of his life.

David was married three times. His first wife was Mercy Mace, the sister of John Mace. They had one daughter before Mercy died.

His second wife, Elizabeth, was the widow of Mr. Haseldon. She had six children when she married David.

His third wife was Fanetta Ann White, the daughter of Stephen and Mary (Fore) White.

David served in the Confederate Army during the U.S. Civil War as a Captain in Wilson's Squadron. He was disabled by the fall of his horse. Before the war he had held the rank of Major.

David was of medium height and well proportioned. His complexion was ruddy and he had big expressive eyes.
