| 2. | George Monroe was born about 1726 in , Westmoreland Co., Virginia, USA (son of Col. William Gent Monroe, Jr. and Margaret Triplett); died in 1771 in , Westmoreland Co., Virginia, USA. Notes:
Error alert: Some references say that George was the son of his father's first wife, Rachel Piper. The Beggs reference says George is the same person as George [1880]. There is obviously a lot of confusion in this area and the correct version is not known to me.
George's will was dated 1770 and proved 1771.

| 4. | Col. William Gent Monroe, Jr. was born in 1690 in , Westmoreland Co., Virginia, USA (son of William Gent Monroe and Margaret Bowcock); died in 1775 in , Woodford Co., Kentucky, USA. Notes:
William was married twice and had children by both wives. There is some controversy about which wife bore which children. The name "Gent" may just mean "gentleman" and could have been added as part of his name in error.
He served as Colonel of Westmoreland County, Virginia, Justice of the Peace and Member of the House of Burgesses
He served as executor of his father's will.
John Piper, the father of his first wife, Rachel, left a will, 25 Sep 1759, in which he gives land and five negros to William and his wife. Rachel was the sister of Col. John and Frank Triplet of King George County, Virginia.
One reference gives William's birthdate as 1692 and gives the deathdate of Rachel Piper, his second wife, as 1759 (Williams says she died in 1775). Guilford and ref 1 says William died in 1760. Petersen says William died in 1773.
