| 6. | Col. William Munroe was born on 19 Dec 1703 in Lexington, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts, USA (son of Ens. William Munroe and Mary Cutler); died on 18 Aug 1747 in Lexington, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts, USA. Notes:
In a paper left by one of the family, it is stated, that William had been just engaged as a committee man to enlarge the burying yard, and taking a sudden cold while haying in his meadow, was attacked with a violent fever, which in a few days proved fatal. He was the first to be laid in the new portion of the yard that he had so recently procured. This account is confirmed by his gravestone, which has this inscription: "William Munroe, d. 18 Aug 1747, aged 44 years. The first buried in this (the new portion) yard."
