«/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).

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.

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