372	(See UPDATED NOTE below, with corrections, Oct 2019) He died during the Revolutionary War. His son, Daniel, served in the 77th Regiment under Col. Montgomery. A list of officers of the 77th includes George Munro, which could possibly be this person's name. He could also be named Duncan, who according to family records, owned considerable land in Washington, D.C. where the White House now stands. This property was confiscated during the Revolutionary War. His widow later sued for recovery of property that was taken from her husband. "Catherine Leech, petitioner, sweareth that she had considerable property taken from her in the colonies and her husband was murdered by the rebels on account of his attachment to the British Government." Misc./158,Vol 306. Catherine Leech of Yonge, Ontario, Canada is found in W.B. Reid's Book of Loyalists. A 1790 petition says she was from Augusta, New York.

In 1877 he received a call from a young George Eastman asking George to teach him how to make pictures. The lessons extended over a period of about two months, and intermittently over two years experimenting in the making of dry plates. Although they worked together, George gave all the credit and honor for the development of the dry plate technique to George Eastman. He also was the first photographer in the world to take a photograph after dark with the use of Hiram S. Maxim's electric arc lamp in 1879. «/i»****** ****** The following is from Joseph R.

He spent most of his career in Rochester, New York, absenting himself in 1876-1877 to run a studio in Leroy, New York, west of the city. In 1877, George gave a series of instructions in photography to George Eatman, who was then working as a bank clerk. Eastman developed a dry plate process while associated with his studio, and George himself began to use these dry plates in the making of his streo views in 1879. He was perhaps the most prolific maker of stereo views of Rochester. In 1880, George introduced a wide-deluxe stereo view. His efforts in later years were in the manufacturing of photograhic dry plates «/i»******** In Rochester, New York, USA in 1877, a young bank clerk called George Eastman planned to take a summer vacation in Santo Domingo, and a colleague suggested he should make a photographic record. Eastman bought all the necessary equipment for the wet plate process and took lessons from a professional photographer, G. H. Munroe, the son of a long-established Rochester photographer Myron H. Monroe. Eastman never made the trip, but it was the start of his long and eventually profitable involvement with the medium.

His mother, Laura Gage died in childbirth. His father and the rest of his siblings were all involved in photography. Harvey and his brother Frank (Francis Monroe who later became a dentist) apparently worked for "The Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad" (later the Grand Trunk Railroad) in the Photographic Department. While in their service, and while in Michigan, Harvey met and married Mary "Mate" Davis in 1872, granddaughter of Cornelius Davis who founded Davisburg. Mary's parents were furious when they found out, and threw Mary out of the family house. Frank Monroe in a letter to his parents documents the events surrounding that time. In the 1880 census, Harvey was living in Davisburg, Springfield Twp. and Heck was 8 months old. At that time, his grandmother, Cynthia Gage was living with the family, and was 74 years old. Harvey moved his family from Davisburg to Pontiac in 1883 when he was named City Engineer. He initially lived above the Fire Barns and them moved to 68 Norton Avenue. Harvey was Chief Engineer of the Fire Department for 12 years. He was appointed City Engineer of the city of Pontiac, Michigan on April 11, 1883.

He was succeeded by his son, Hector L. Monroe. He recommended and oversaw the building of the retaining reservoir that was subsequently named "The Harvey G. Monroe Reservoir". He was an accomplished wheelwright, a landscape photographer, and as a hobby, made violins and violas.

Eastman bought all the necessary equipment for the wet plate process and took lessons from a professional photographer, G. H. Munroe, the son of a long-established Rochester photographer Myron H. Monroe. Eastman never made the trip, but it was the start of his long and eventually profitable involvement with the medium. He found the collodion process complex and started experiments to try to simplify it. Ref: Clan Munro files - Purdy, Scott Munroe "The Monroe Book" by Dr. Joan S.

400	******** (The following is from "Descendants of John Munro" - received from W. M. Roeser - 14 May 2012) «i»Reverend Joseph Monroe was born in Hudson, New York. He attended college at Madison, Hamilton County, New York. The college was a Baptist University founded in 1820 as the Hamilton Literary and Theological Institution. It changed its name to Madison University in 1846, and to Colgate in 1890. This college was chartered and moved to Rochester, New York in 1850. Joseph then apparently moved to the Rochester area, as in 1822 he became the pastor of the First Baptist church of Henrietta and served there until 1827. This church society was organized in 1812 and was the first in Henrietta, being founded 6 years before the town itself was organized. «/i» ******** Ref: Clan Munro files - Purdy, Scott Munroe References: (1) Clan Munro files - Roeser, Douglas Lee - Direct Descendants of Abel Monroe - undated Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA	Monroe, Rev.
