Timothy married Sally Newhall on 14 Apr 1793 in Lynn, Essex Co., Massachusetts, USA. Sally was born about 1773; died on 13 May 1838 in Lynn, Essex Co., Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Timothy's father died in 1743 when Timothy was 8 years old. In 1747, Timothy Welling was appointed to be his guardian.

Timothy marched with the Danvers company on the 19th of April 1775 and engaged the British at West Cambridge. As the British troops were coming down the road, Timothy was standing behind a house with Daniel Townsend in West Cambridge. They were firing at the British as they retreated towards Boston. Townsend had just fired and exclaimed, "There is another redcoat down," when Munroe, looking around, saw, to his astonishment, that they were completely hemmed in by the flank guard of the British army, who were coming down through the fields behind them. They immediately ran into the house and looked for the cellar; but there was none. They looked for a closet, but there was none. All this time, which was indeed but a moment, the balls were pouring through the back windows, making havoc of the glass. Townsend leaped through the end window, carrying the sash and all with him, and instantly fell dead. Munroe followed and ran for his life. He passed for a long distance between both parties, many of whom fired at him. As he passed the last soldier, who stopped to fire, he heard the redcoad exclaim, "Damn the Yankee! he is bullet proof--let him go!" Timothy had one ball through his leg, and thirty-two bullet holes through his clothes and hat. Even the metal buttons on his waistcoat were shot off. He kept his clothes until he was tired of showing them.

He married Lydia Eaton of Reading, Massachusetts and settled in Lynnfield, where he was selectman for several years. His house was still standing in 1912.
