«i»Theodore Monroe owned a farm at Conaway, Maryland of 175 acres half way between Baltimore, MD and Washington DC. He lived with his wife and sister, Avis D. Monroe. We have two letters that he wrote to Myron Hawley Monroe in 1889 and 1894 offering the farm to one of the Monroes since he had no children and was getting too old to manage this large farm. No one took him up on this offer.«/i»

«i»It is assumed that Robert did not survive. He was, after all, the uncle of John and Hugh and thus an older man. However, we believe that we have found him in Windsor, Connecticut as is shown by the following records published in Records of the Particular Court of Connecticut 1639-1663 (Conn. Hist. Soc. and Soc. of Colonial Wars in the State of Conn., 1928). On 1 March 1654/5, "Robrt Munroe Scotchman hauving Sould 2 quarts of Liquor to the Indyans Contrary to Law is adjudged to pay for the same according to the Law £20 & hee is to bee secured till the fine bee secured to this Comon wealth" (p. 140). On the first Thursday in March, 1665/6, "Robert Munroe Complaines of John Bissell for missdimenor in taking the lock from the seller dore whereby his liquors weare indangered if not indammaged" (p. 161). At the Quarter Courte in Hartford 5 June 1656. "Rob: Munrow plt. Contra Rich. Sexton defendt in the fencing to the dammage of 15 pounds" (p. 168). The same year, "Rob: Munrow plt. Cont Rich. Sexton defendt in an action about fence being defective the jury findes for the plt.: 50 Shill which is to be deducted out of Sexton his rent and Costs of Courte" (p. 169). There is no further record of Robert in any history, but at least we know that he was in the liquor business at Windsor by 1655.«/i»

«i»Hugh's «/i»[Hugh Munro b. 1639 in Evanton, Scotland]«i» destiny remains a mystery, but it has been assumed that he lived somewhere on Long Island. ...
Although we have said that Hugh remains a mystery, there is the remotest chance that Hugh Roe of Suffield, Conn. (originally in Mass.) might be he. We did not find the fact that David of Norwalk, Conn. was often "Roe" or "Row" in the records, it is not impossible that this is immigrant Hugh. If he is, David is not his son. What we know of Hugh comes from an article by George McK. Roberts (TAG, 10:73FF.)
Hugh Roe left a will dated 5 Aug. 1689, pro. 30 Mar. 1690 at Suffield, Conn. which was then in Mass. and the will was pro. at Northampton, Hampshire county, Mass., Hampden county not yet in existence. He described himself as "sick and weak" and left his whole estate to son Peter, making him, John Warner, and wife Abigail executors. He also left some small bequests to daughters Mary "Denslow" (whom Roberts demonstrates was actually Mary Dudley), Elizabeth Merrill, and Abigail Taylor, but makes it clear that Abigail's husband, Thomas, is to have no part of anything he leaves to her. He also gives bequests to grandchildren Abigail Kent (formerly Abigail Dudley), Abigail Warner, and Thomas Warner provided the latter live with his brother John Warner and not with Thomas, his father. In a memo added to the will he states that his estate should be responsible for the encouragement of John Emerson, his minister, and names Abraham Dibble, Thomas Huxley and David Winchell as overseers who are to take over administration if the executors do not do right by the estate.
Although the family was sometimes at Weymouth, Mass. and sometimes at Suffield, there are few birth records and the maiden name of Hugh's wife Abigail is unknown. We make no claims for this Hugh, but Hugh is unmistakeabley a Scottish name.

James's early life was spent mostly as a prisoner in the Tower of London, albeit treated as a member of royalty. Only in 1424 did he return to Scotland to be crowned king. He had been well educated during his time in England and he wanted to overhaul much of the country's infrastructure of church and state. Although generally sensible, his reforms did not go down at all well with the nobles and, inevitably, he was assassinated during a visit to a monastery in Perth.«/i»

Called 'fiery face' due to a birthmark, James is recorded as a strong-willed and often ruthless ruler. Not averse to a bit of bloodshed, James fought for his right to rule against Scotland's strong aristocracy, particulary the Douglas family, with whom he waged war throughout much of his adult reign. It would be unlikely for a Stewart to die peacefully in his bed, but James's own end was a singularly spectacular one: blown to bits by one of his own artillery pieces during a siege at Roxburgh.«/i»

«i»Like many Scots monarchs, James V became king when he was still a child. Until he took over the throne, the country was ruled by a number of regents. When he eventually took over the matter of ruling his country, James proved a tough and capable king, subduing rebels in the Border region and the Western isles. However, he met disaster at the battle of Solway Moss in 1542, a defeat that was so demoralising that it is said to have led to his death. His famous comment on the birth of his only living heir, Mary was: "It cam wi' a lass and it will gang wi' a lass", although it is somewhat debatable that he spoke with a broad Scots accent.«/i»

This did not go down well with most of Scotland so instead she was sent to live in France and, in 1558 she married the French dauphin, François. After her husband's death, she returned to Scotland, but for a Catholic monarch who was also a woman, turbulent, Protestant Scotland was unlikely to be an easy place to rule. After numerous disastrous events (including possibly colluding in the death of her new husband, Lord Darnley) she ended up imprisoned in England at the mercy of her cousin, Elizabeth I. After plans for the assassination of Elizabeth were uncovered, Mary was executed at Fotheringhay Castle on 8 Feb 1587.«/i»

Instead as a 'high steward' of Scotland (where the name Stewart derives from), he served as regent until David was able to take up his kingship. This did not last long. Following the Battle of Neville's Cross, David was captured and Robert took over as regent once again. It was only in 1371 that Robert was officially crowned king following David's death, but he was an old man by medieval standards and he seems to have been too infirm to engage in kingly activities such as leading his armies into battle. He died in 1390 and was succeeded by his son, Robert III.«/i»

Robert may have inherited the Bruce's name but his birth name was John, a moniker he was said to have relinquished due to the unpopularity of John de Balliol in Scotland. If he was hoping to gain some of his illustrious forebear's strength and resolve along with his name, he appears to have been misguided. Weak physically due to a horse riding accident, he found himself in a position where his brother was the real power behind the throne. Desperate to ensure this his only surviving son, James would inherit the throne, he sent the boy to safety in France. Unfortunately James was kidnapped and imprisoned by the English King Henry IV. When he heard the news, Robert is said to have rapidly lost the will to live and died a few days later.«/i»

He became monarch of both countries in 1603, after the death of the childless Elizabeth I of England. Regarded as an intellectual and learned ruler, he nevertheless had a difficult time with parliament (although his son would do much worse), which he periodically would dissolve and restore. He also had to achieve a balancing act of satisfying those suspicious of his attempts at allying with the powerful Catholic country of Spain, whilst supporting Protestantism. Overall, James's reign was successful and did much to continue the flourishing arts and sciences that prospered during the Elizabethan period.«/i»

«i»The Tall Tales of Carl Munro:
The Incredible Bard of Round Pond, Maine
by Robert Erickson
A Book Review by Ria Biley
In this tribute to the memory of his friend and neighbor, author Erickson recounts the storytelling talents of Carl Munro, a colorful character of a man whose ancestors first settled in Round Pond back in the mid-1800's. Munro's parents moved there permanently in 1943. It was to the family homestead that Munro returned after serving as a PT boat captain in World War II.
The permanent injuries he sustained as a result of his military service didn't seem to slow Munro down much, as he gardened vast acreage, drove lumber trucks, and captained tour boats well into his later years. Along the way, he acquired near-legendary status for his tales of wartime (and other) adventures.
Munro was well known by locals as a fellow who had a story to tell on just about everything, which he delivered with panache--and a straight face. Most of the tales in this book are presented with care to keep the flavor of Munro's delivery as close to accurate as possible, and those who knew him will recognize his voice in its pages.
The "tall tales" foreshadowed in the title signify that all of Munro's stories included himself and his own adventures, but after decades of telling and retelling to enthusiastic audiences, seem to have accumulated a good deal of embellishment. The reader will be the judge as to just how much.
From the story "Infernal Harvest" comes this pretty-hard-to-swallow, but nonetheless amusing, yarn of Munro's difficulty in harvesting his parsnip crop one year, due to the unyielding frost. He couldn't wait, "so I went and got some dynamite and blew those parsnips all to hell. There were so many it filled up the harbor." One can easily envision the sky full of exploding parsnips, and wonder how the fishermen in the harbor reacted to the unusual "rain" that day.
Another of Munro's really tall tales was of having rented a motor scooter while on leave in Rome. As he approached the Vatican, he said, "I revved that damn scooter up and went right up the stairs to the top. That's when I met the Pope. I shook his hand and went right back down the stairs." Hmmm...
Carl Munro passed away in 2008 at the age of 92, but his stories will live on in the memories of those who knew him and were privileged to hear him tell them in his unique voice. If you missed hearing them first-hand, this book is your next best chance. It's an easy read ... no extra charge for the chuckles.

«i»Myer Sports Suffers Loss -- Munro Heads for Overseas
By Carroll Hall
Sgt. James Munro, former District sandlot football and baseball star, who recently concluded a tour of duty at Ft. Myer, leaves today for Camp Kilmer, N. J. to await assignment for European command duty.
Munro, who is starting his 23rd year of Army duty, including National Guard time, has been a leading figure in the promotion of Junior baseball, Junior American Legion ball and softball locally, will be assigned to special services somewhere in Germany.
The 42-year-old sergeant has been stationed at the near-by Virginia post for the past three and one-half years and has coached baseball there in 1949 and 1950 and was assistant football coach to Capt. Joey Kaufman during the 1950 and 1951 seasons.
Started at Eastern
Jim started his athletic career at Eastern high school, participating in football, basketball and baseball. He won all-high honors as a catcher, and as center on the football team during the 1927-28 seasons.
He later joined the Takoma Tigers, champions in the early thirties and was a teammate of Jake Powell, former major league outfielder. Also in those days he played center for the Mohawks District grid champs.
Still later, Munro organized a crack junior baseball team and under the sponsorship of Mars Jewelers, brought the first national championship to the District in 1947. Munro's team won the District title the next two seasons and both times his team went to the final at Johnstown, Pa.
Coached at Central
Jim also coached baseball at Central from 1943 thru 1945, and was assistant football coach to John Jankowiski at the same time.
He was chairman of the District Junior American Legion Baseball committee from 1945 thru 1947 at the same time serving as athletic director of the Merrick Boys club.
He is a member of the D. C. Football Officials association and will retain his membership while overseas. He also is a member of the Touchdown club.
He is married and has two sons Jimmy and Sandy.«/i»

He served at the seige of Minorca during the Napolenic conflict, in England, in Ireland during the Rebellion and was Military Commander of Barbados Surinam. His brothers and several sons, including Captain James Munro, migrated to the Bahamas and became wealthy plantation owners, government officials and teachers in the British West Indies.

General William Munro was a British officer in Mediterranean and Caribbean campaigns. He was the "father" of the Munros in the British West Indies and Florida. He served at the seige of Minorca during the Napoleonic conflict, and in England and Ireland during the Rebellion. He was the Military Commander of Barbados Surinam.
He was Commissariat General of Halifax during the time when Queen Victoria's father, the Duke of Kent, commanded the troops there.
It is said that he was the son of the Chief of Clan Munro which would mean his father was either Robert Munro, 24th Baron of Foulis, or Harry Munro, 25th Baron of Foulis. However, neither man is recorded as having a son named William.

«b»«i»"Goodman" John Munro«/b» b. in 1632 Assynt, Sutherland, Scotland. He married Sarah Lawton in Oct 1663 Duxbury, Plymouth, Mass., [no VR found]. He d. on 10 Oct 1691 Bristol [no VR found]. He is referred to also as Monroe, Monrow, Munroe and Munrow.
John joined the Royalist army to fight against Cromwell and fought in the battle of Worcester on 3 Sep. 1651, which was the final English Civil War and where the Royalists were badly defeated. Fourteen thousand Scots died in the battle and John was among the 8,000 who were taken prisoner. The prisoners were freed by ordinance of Parliament on 20 Oct. 1651 and sent to America to serve as indentured servants until debt of their passage was paid. He is the same person as the "John Monrow" who came on the John and Sarah from London on 11 Nov. 1651, along with three other "Monrow" passengers listed as Robert, Hugh and "(William)." This latter passenger, whose first name was obliterated in the record, has been demonstrated clearly for testimony of William that he came in 1652. All were shipped as prisoners of war and consigned to Thomas Kemble (of Boston) to whom they were indentured.
They all arrived at Boston and were indentured to farmers, land and mill owners, and planters for a period of seven or eight years. John is believed to have been sold into bondage south of Boston, possibly to the iron bogs in Taunton, Massachusetts. Nothing further is heard of John from 1652 until he appeared on a record on 27 Jan. 1673/74 as a witness for Constant Southworth's taking of land in Sakonnet (now Little Compton, Rhode Island) from the Indian Squaw Sachem, Awashunks.
John Munro is likely the one who is listed as "Goodman Roe" in the 11 Feb. 1688/89 census of Bristol with a wife and ten children. An inventory of John's estate was taken on 10 Nov. 1692 (valued at £75 15s). He and Sarah had ten children at Bristol, Rhode Island. John was the 7th great-grandson of James II, King of Scotland (1437-1460).«/i»
**********
The following is from the writings of Estelle Wait, of Massachusetts, (via the Sikes reference) who completed in 1958 eighteen years of research on location, attempting to clarify that although the Lexington branch of the Munros was descended from William, undoubtedly the Bristol branch was descended from John Munro of the "John and Sarah" prisoners from the battle of Worcester.
One of the early settlers at Cambridge Farms (now part of Lexington) was a William Munroe, who became the founder of he large Lexington Munroe family. He is known to have been born in Scotland in 1625, and both Mr. MacKenzie and John G. Locke, a former historian of the town of Lexington, believe that he is identical with William, son of Robert of Aldie, born in 1625, and captured in the battle of Worcester. Robert of Aldie's son is known to have been deported, hence the historian's belief that the obliterated name on the passenger list of the "John and Sarah" is William. Mr. MacKenzie died before he could establish the ancestry of the three other Munrows on this ship, but he did believe that there was a blood relationship between the four men, and that Robert, John, or Hugh was the founder of the Munroe family of Bristol, Rhode Island.
It is my belief that it was John Munrow who was the founder of this family and, with very little documentary evidence to go on, I have tried in this account to prove it. What disposition Thomas Kemble made of John on his arrival at Boston in February, 1652, (or 13 May 1652 according to Thomas E. Monroe) is not known, and we can only guess where he was and what he was doing for his first twenty-two years in New England. That seems like a long time to be unaccounted for, but such is the case at this writing.
We do not see him from 1652 until January 28, 1674, when he was one of several witnesses to the taking of land in Sakonnet (now Little Compton, Rhode Island) by Constant Southworth from the Indian squaw Sachem, Awashunks. Constant Southworth was one of the leading men in Plymouth Colony, and his home was in Duxbury. It seems a safe assumption that John Munrow was also living in or near Duxbury at that time, for how else would he have been chosen to accompany Southworth on his mission to Sakonnet? The account of this land transaction is in Baylies Memoirs of Plymouth Colony.
John Munrow's next appearance is in Bristol, Rhode Island. This town, situated on land which had been the home territory of King Phillip, was founded in 1680. The first town meeting was held in 1681, and as John Munrow's name is not on the list of inhabitants, it is evident that he had not yet moved there. However, in 1688/9 when the first Bristol census was taken, there appears in it the name of G. Row who had a wife and ten children, the largest family in town. The name Munroe has often been found shortened to Row or Roe, and I believe that G. Row was actually G. Munrow. (G. stands for Goodman, a lesser title than Mr., but better than no title at all.)
The census of 1688/9 does not give G. Row a first name, but without a doubt it was John, for on November 10, 1691, an inventory was taken of the "estate of John Munro deceased." While no location is mentioned in this inventory, the fact that it was taken by William Troop and Samuel Kelton, two Bristol men, makes it practically certain that the John Munro who died in 1691 was a Bristol inhabitant.
His estate was valued at 72 pounds, 15 shillings; and in the uncertain spelling of the day, the inventory appraises the following possessions: "21 cattell, 1 hors, swine, corne of all sorts, carts and plows and other furnitur, working towls and houshold good of all sorts." His debts amounted to 16 pounds,14 shillings; the Largest amount (14 pounds) being owed to Mr. Burton, who may have been Stephen Burton, one of the four proprietors of Bristol. There is a note at the bottom of the inventory which reads: "Admin Deferred & opportunity taken to bring ye wid. & child together." This note would suggest that at the time of John's death his family were not all under one roof. It may be that some of the children were married and in homes of their own. One boy we know was an apprentice and was very likely living with his master. But whatever the reason for the separation, John's widow and children were soon brought together and a very interesting document resulted.
This document is dated Feb. 1, 1692, and is called "Articles of Agreement between Sarah Munroe, relict of John Munroe late of Bristol deceased and adminstratix of his estate remaining on the one part, and his sons John, Thomas, William and George Munroe, and his two daughters, Sarah, and Elizabeth Munroe, on the other part." In this agreement, Sarah promises to bring up, maintain and educate the other four children - Susannah, Benjamin, Joseph, and Mary -until they become of age or marry. She further agrees to allow the three oldest sons to keep all the estate they have had, and to give George two cows with calf or calves when his apprenticeship expires in about three years; and to give daughters Sarah and Elizabeth each a cow with calf or calves on May 1 next. After she has paid John's debts, the widow Sarah is to have the balance of the estate. The document is signed by the marks of Sarah and the six eldest children.
From this agreement we know that John Munroe had a wife an ten children, which confirms the fact that he and G. row were one and same. Knowing this number of children, we are able to make some calculations as to John's probable age. If his tenth child was a year old when the census of 1688/9 was taken, and if we allow twenty years for the births of all ten children, he would have been married about 1668. (And of course the older his tenth child in 1688/9, the earlier he would have been married). William Munroe of Lexington had his first child in 1666. Thus we see that John of Bristol and William of Lexington were contemporaries, a fact which strengthens my belief that John of Bristol was the John Munrow on the "John and Sarah." It is interesting to note that the earliest Munroe births in Bristol, beginning in 1696, list children born to men of the same names as John's sons - John, Thomas,, George, Benjamin and Joseph - while the first Munroe marriage in Bristol, was that of Elizabeth in 1694. This should indicate almost without a doubt that John was the ancestor of the Bristol Munroes.
*************************************************
John joined the Royalist army to fight against Cromwell. On 3 Sep 1651, he fought in the battle of Worcester where the Royalists were badly defeated. Fourteen thousand Scots died in the battle and John was among the 8,000 who were taken prisoner. The prisoners were freed by ordinance of Parliament on 20 Oct 1651 and sent to America to serve as indentured servants until debt of their passage was paid.
John, his brother, Hugh, and his uncle Robert along with a distant cousin, William, are believed to have been among the 272 "honorable convicts" who were deported to the American colonies aboard the "John and Sarah," John Green, Master, which sailed from England in Nov 1651 and arrived in Boston before Feb 1652. The ship carried tools, household goods, and provisions that merchant and mill owner, Thomas Kemble was to sell, in addition to the men, for the "best advantage" of the investors.
The men were sold as indentured servants for a total of 4,000 pounds which was used to buy goods to ship to the West Indies on the second leg of the voyage. John and the other prisoners were indentured to farmers, land and mill owners, and planters for a period of seven or eight years. John is believed to have been sold into bondage south of Boston, possibly to the iron bogs in Taunton, Massachusetts.
There is no further record of John for 22 years until on 28 Jan 1674, he made his mark as a witness to the taking of land in Sakonnet (later renamed Compton, Rhode Island) by Constant Southworth from Awashunks, a Squaw Sachem, or lieutenant who served the Indian, King Philip. Because Constant Southworth lived in Duxbury, it is thought that John also lived in Duxbury at the time.
An inventory of his estate was taken on 10 Nov 1691.

According to Guilford, "Wait has a vague sort of feeling that Sarah may have been in some way connected to Thomas Lawton."
According to Stotler, Sarah may have been born in Scotland, but Thomas E. Monroe says that it is very unlikely that Sarah came from Scotland as John came to America as a war prisoner in 1652, only men are listed on the ship manifest and New England was settled primarily by English.

**********
Ref. (1) says that William was the son of William [185].
William settled in Bristol, Rhode Island in 1698. He owned a farm that extended from the Grey Farm on the north to Mt. Hope on the south, and east to the Narrows. It was called the "Major Munro Farm" and was owned by the Munro family until 1900. It was later occupied by the Columban fathers.
He served as executor of the estate of his neighbor, Colonel Henry McIntosh (Mt. Hope Farm) and managed the property of his widow, Madam McIntosh. At the orginization in 1724 of St. Michaels Church, Bristol, Rhode Island, William became Vestryman. His son, Bennett [183], grandsons James [6969] and Edward [182], great-grandson Bennett [181], 2nd great-grandsons John [179] and Otis [7052], and 3rd great-grandson Wilfred [7053] have all been Vestrymen - six generations.
When he died, he had 30 slaves who were given to his children. He and several of his descendants were buried on the farm and their grave stones were later moved to the Major Munro lot at the North Cemetery (Neck).
One of his sons is said to have had no children, and another is said to have moved to Connecticut.
His wife, Mary Lindsay, was the sister of John Lindsay, who married William's sister, Elizabeth. One source says his wife was Elizabeth Carey, but this is unconfirmed. On Mary's grave stone it says she died 8 Nov 1760 at the age of 85, which places her birth in about 1675. Ref. (1) says 1685 and other sources say 1684, 1685 or 1677.

«i»That Martha, Hiram, John and Betsey were siblings is an assumption on my part and is based on circumstantial evidence as follows:
1) Ira and Emaline HOWERTON were brother and sister.
2) Ira HOWERTON married Betsey BAKER on 11-June-1839 in Grainger,TN.
3) Emaline HOWERTON married John BAKER in 1837 in Grainger,TN. William HOLLINGSWORTH, husband of Martha BAKER, was the bondsman for this marriage of Emaline HOWERTON to John BAKER.
4) William HOLLINGSWORTH, husband of Martha BAKER, was the bondsman for the marriage of Hiram BAKER to Lucinda MONROE in 1833, Grainger County.
5) William WATSON was the bondsman for the marriage of William HOLLINGSWORTH to Martha BAKER. William WATSON appears as a Head of Family on same page as Martin BAKER in the 1830 US Federal Census (Grainger, TN). That is, William WATSON and Martin BAKER were close neighbors.
6) Anna PARKER, now remarried, (1st husband, a HOLLINGSWORTH, deceased), mother of William HOLLINGSWORTH, appears as a Head of Family on same page as Martin BAKER in the 1830 US Federal Census (Grainger, TN). That is, Anna PARKER and Martin BAKER were close neighbors.
7) Hiram BAKER, husband of Lucinda MONROE and speculative son of Martin & Sophia, had a daughter, also named Sophia. Hiram & Lucinda also had a son, William Martin BAKER (1836-1909). That is, Hiram & Lucinda named two of their children after Hiram's speculative mother and father. Census records place both Hiram & Lucinda and son, William Martin Baker & wife Sarah, in Union County.
8) Census records for Martha BAKER, daughter of Martin & Sophia, show that both of her parents were born in NC, which is consistent with census records for Martin (b 1793) and his wife, Sophia (b 1792).

«i»John was mentioned in the early pages of E. B. Biggar's 1891 biography of Sir John Alexander Macdonald and numerous times in 1919's "The Story of Renfrew". He may have been born at Culrain in Kincardine parish, Ross-shire rather than a "Cubrian" of unknown location.
I figure his father came from near Lairg, nearby in Sutherlandshire. John and family were listed in 1851-1871 censuses in Renfrew county, Ontario and 1881 and 1891 censuses at Kincardine, Ontario. He died there 12/13/1897, survived by only one of his children.
He had been mentioned in the 1858 Journals of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada, apparently accused of stealing votes by providing drinks paid for by the winner of the election.
I think I've figured correctly that his second wife Isabella was the daughter of John and Jane (McMillan) Cameron, baptized 9/8/1806 at St. Gabriel Presbyterien in Montreal. She died 4/23/1877 at Renfrew, Ontario.
John's son John had at least two other children in addition to the John Allan mentioned - 11/19/1864 born Isabel Adeline, who died in California 8/20/1918 and 8/12/1874 born John Routh who died in Ottawa 9/22/1953. Edmond "Teddy" of the 1881 and 1891 censuses may have been another son, or possibly a nephew. The elder John's daughter Mary McKay had nine children, and has numerous descendants in the U.S. including me.
I haven't found anything beyond the 1851 census re her sister Hughina. John and Isabella's daughter Catherine "Kate" married a William Blackburn 11/24/1874. I've found no more regarding either of that pair until his death in Pembroke, Ontario 3/12/1928. Her older sister Helen worked at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota and died in Duluth, MN in 1926.«/i»

«i»I am fairly certain that Squire was not a title but a name. I think the best evidence for this is that his birth is recorded in a family bible as "Squire" - or something close to that and I don't think he would have had a title as a baby. See Munro Eagle #16 Winter 1985-1986 page 21. Although this lists him as "Square" - a typo that would plague his mentions in newspapers later in life - I believe that is a typo or mistranslation from sloppy handwriting. I have hoped to locate the original bible for inspection but have yet to do so. While this bible is said to have been purchased by Nathan Munro in 1784 - when Squire would have been 26 - giving at least a chance he may have and the title at that time, it still seems unlikely to me that his father would have listed his title but not name in the family bible. Just a thought.«/i»
**********
The following is from the Sikes reference:
Squier hired 50 acres of land in New Framingham, where he brought his family in 1779. On his way, he , with his goods, through some accident, was thrown into the Connecticut River. Narrowly escaping with his life, he sacrificed some of his goods, and all ofhis money, ten dollars in silver, so that he was forced to accept charity until he could locate himself and commence a course of labor that would bring him remuneration. Here he learned a lesson that was never forgotten. Whenever the poor applied to him for aid, after God had blessed him with the wealth of this world, they were never turned away empty.
It so happened that when the country began to grow, and lands in Central New York were offered for sale, a neighbor of (John) Deacon Munro's caught the western fever, sold his little farm half way up the mountainside, and moved to Elbridge, N.Y. Feber and ague lurked behind every tree; the weevil destroyed the first crops, and the rains drowned out the second. The family grew very sick of their bargain, and pined for the healthy mountain breezes and pure spring water that bubbled up in the crude trough by the door of the little red farmhouse they had left behind. So, returning in the fall for a visit, they took tea one day with neighbor Munro, the bent of the conversation tunring upon the mistake the farmer had made in going west. He was full of regrets and complaints and wished that he had never made so unwise a move, when (John) Deacon Munro exclaimed, "Well, well, neighbor, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll take your western farm off your hands without seeing it, and you may take mine; even swap all around." The visitor looked at him in surprise, saw that he was in earnest and seized the proffered hand and said, "Yes, yes, of course I will." Squire said, "Wife, you and the children pack up," and without further ado, Squire and Mary and four sons, John, David, Nathan and Phillip were off for their new home of 300 acres which Aschel Buck had acquired from the Indians for twenty-five cents an acre. The first white settlement was made there in 1791 by Captain Lindsay. He built his house by a clear running stream. He was a surveyor and he began laying out roads on which he collected tolls.
Squier opened a general store and a hotel and saloon. In 1806 he was asked to build eleven miles of the new turnpike road running through the towns of Elbridge and Camillus, finishing in 1808. In 1807 he represented Onondaga County in the Assembly of the State, and for several years was one of the judges of the county court at Onondaga Hill. With Scottish thrift he continually added to his estate. In 1825 he was assessed for 819 acres valued at $11,300, and personal property at $4000, taxed at $84.06. He built the first grist mill in Elbridge. In 1813 the Baptists formed a Church Society at the school house near Squire Munro's and his son John Munro put up a new church building in Elbridge costing $14,000. In 1826, Squier purchased slip No. 14 in the Baptist Church in the village of Auburn, taking a formal deed executed by the trustees and signed by order Elias Laxell, Secretary. The Baptist Church was then located at the junction of Exchange and South Streets, now Richardson Square.
The descendents of Squier became so numerous that Munro reunions held in Elbridge became large afairs, attended by 300 or more Munros. Squier expanded his farm holdings to 2700 acres.
Squier died in 1835 and with Mary Daggett, is buried in Elbridge cemetary. In his third and last will, he provided that the three daughters and three sons, Betsy, Hannah, Polly, David, Nathan and Phillip had, at their marriages, received farm homes of two to three hundred acres. They were each given two seats in the Baptist meeting house in Elbridge. To his wife, he gave the use of the home, farm, and other property during her lifetime, in case she did not contract matrimony. To John, the eldest son, he gave the entire residue, and remainder of every name, or nature, consisting of about 1400 acres of land with the livestock, and other personal property therein; mortgages, bonds, notes, book accounts, etc.
****************************************************
Ref (2) says that the name Squier or Squire was not a title, but that it was derived from ancestors on his mother's side of the family. In Ref (3) Prof. Yard speculates that Squire was a title and not a given name. Yard believes that Squier Munro is the same person as Joseph Munro, Esq. [10056]. Ref (6) also says that his name was not a title.
Ref (5) says Squier and Mary were married 1 May 1779 and that Squier died in 1836. Squier served as a soldier in the American Revolutionary War and was granted land in Elbridge, New York. He moved his family there from Cheshire, Massachusetts, and built a mill there. He usually spelled his name "Munro", but he signed his will "Manro".
He was successful in business and a leading figure in the church and the affairs of the town and county.
Ref (7) calls him Deacon Squier Munro and says that he died 31 May 1835, but notes that his tombstone says 31 Mar 1835. Ref (7) also says that Squier and Mary were married 16 May 1779.

(The following is from the "Clan Munro Magazine" - NO. 26, 2012 - "Sir Charles Munro - The Ninth Baronet" - by Hector Munro of Foulis)
«i»George, as a minor, had been cheated out of his rightful inheritance, the 15,000 acre Culrain estate, by Sir Hector Munro of Novar who, after actingas a trustee, obtained permission from his fellow trustees to resign and then proceeded to purchase the estate from them, for what was considered the wholly inadequate sum of £5,000 (modern-day equivalent of £500,000), in a blatant breech of faith. Undoubtedly, the young Charles was brought up on tales of this outrage, which must have had a profound influence on the father and the son's actions later in life, when they saw the possibility of succeeding to the greater prize of Foulis Estate and the Chieftainship of the Clan.«/i»
**********
George of Culraine married the daughter of John Montgomery of Milmount House, Ross (or of Milntown).
George's father had borrowed 5000 pounds from Sir Hector Munro of Novar to pay his debts, and had given a bond on the estate of Culrain. After Charles' death, Sir Hector took possession of Culrain in gross breach of faith towards Charles and his son, George, who was at the time a minor. Thus Sir Hector acquired Culrain for the very inadequate sum of 5000 pounds.
George refused to recognize the sale to Sir Hector Munro of Novar.
George entered the army, and was a Captain in the Fraser Fencibles, raised in 1794 by Colonel James Fraser of Belladrum. George distinguished himself with his regiment in Ireland during the rebellion there.
He retired in 1798 and joined the Ross and Cromarty Rangers, raised in 1799, and placed under the command of Colonel Lewis Mackenzie.
George sold Rhicullen and Rosebank to Mr. Macleay of Newmore, and sold Culcairn in 1818 to Hugh Rose-Ross of Calrossie and Cromarty for 16,500 pounds.
