83878	When Alice was a little girl, an old Indian and his little girl stopped at the Munro home. Alice had a doll that the two girls played with. The they left, the little Indian girl secretly tollk Alice's doll. When the old Chief discovered his daughter had the doll, they walked back from Chesaning and returned it to Alice. The doll was later in the possession of the descendants of Alice's sister, Catherine. Alice liked to go out early in the morning to the Maple River and sit there all day and fish. Someone had to take her a picnic lunch because she didn't want to leave long enough to eat. The following is a note written in 1941 by Alice's daughter, Carrie: Chester and Emmeline Munro settled on 160 acres in Maple Grove Township, Saginaw County, Michigan in the year 1854 with one son Clark (William Clark) who was born in 1853 in Oakland County. The land was purchased a year or two before they came to stay permanently in 1854. The eldest daughter, Alice Margaret Munro was born 11 Aug 1856; Jenny in 1861. In all eleven children were born to this pioneer couple - two of whom died in infancy. Other settlers about that time were Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Bull, Parents of Mrs. Munro and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Robinson, sister of Mrs. Munro. A road had to be cut from what was then known as Parmalees Corners (2 miles north of New Lothrop) to Munro's farm 3 miles west. Mr. Munro was Maple Grove's first Township Clerk. Alice and Horace were farmers and always resided on their farm except for two years they lived in Owosso. In 1908 they bought a farm northwest of Oakley, Michigan. They were members of the Methodist Church. When Alice died, she was living her daughter, Carrie and Ben Rolfe on their farm west of Juddville, Michigan.

83880	When Clara was about six or seven years old in 1875 or 1876, Col. Chivington came to her folks home and stayed overnight. Being somewhat crowded for room, one of her brothers slept at the top of the bed with Col. Chivington and she slept at the foot of the bed. Col. Chivington was a Methodist minister and preached that next morning (Sunday) at their church. This happened sometime after the Chivington massacre. When Clara was 12 years old, her family moved to a farm near Seapo, Kansas where she finished school and taught for two years near Wayne, Kansas. When she was 20 years old she went to Belleville, Kansas and worked as a milliner and seamstress for a year, then returned home for a visit and went to Junction City where she was a seamstress for some time, and was kept busy as a dressmaker. Junction City was a tough one in those days with so many soldiers from Fort Riley coming in. She was introduced to her future husband on 30 May 1891 in Kansas Falls, Kansas. They were married at her parents' home in Kansas Falls, Kansas on 30 May 1891. Clara and her husband made their home in Junction City untill 1910 (except for two years in Oregon) when her husband went to Colorado and homesteaded north of Arena.

83884	When Freedom was six years old, his family moved to Ostego, New York. Then in 1808 the family moved again to East Bloomfield, New York. In 1816 he went to Cincinnati, Ohio and stayed until 1824. He then returned to New York and in the same year whent to Michigan, crossing Lake Erie on the steamer Superior, the first passenger ship on the lake. He took up 260 acres of land in Bruce Township, Macomb County, Michigan. In 1868 he sold the farm and moved to Romeo, Michigan with his daughter, Elizabeth. Freedom and his brother, Benjamin were signers on a petition to Congress by inhabitants of the Territory of Michigan, U.S., for roads to be surveyed and established. ******** Freedom wrote to his father, Lemuel, March 5, 1829. Freedom was living at Washington, Macomb County, Territory of Michigan. Before Michigan became a state. The letter is as follows: I once more take my pen in hand to inform you that I am well and hope these few lines may find you enjoying this same blessing. I wrote to you a short time after I got home and sent it by Esquire Gates (Gideon Gates was the postmaster and we see his name in Lemuel Monroe's application for a Revolutionary War pension S.S. 12/6/03). I was at Mr. Algers the first of January, they were well. Benjamin (Lemuels son by Anna Potter and Freedoms brother) was well the last time I heard from him which is the best news I can write of him. The winter the middle of October. I then thought it best to change my situation if ever. I accordingly took to myself a companion for life. Her name is Mary Elizabeth Cooper, niece of Capt Gad Chamberlain from Lima, New York. I want you to write or get someone to do so as soon as you can if you know where Mr. Beach (his brother in law who married Elizabeth his eldest sister) has gone, to inform me so I can write to them. It may be this is the last letter you may be permitted to read from me. It appears that you are almost entirely forsaken by your first and second family of children as to seeing or hearing from them except myself but you shall hear from me as often as once a year as long as both of live. I hope the family you are now raising will prove more of a blessing than your children here to fore. You have seen a great deal of trouble in your life. I have witnessed a considerable but may you be blessed with peace and quietness the remainder of your days which will smooth your path to the grave . I have no more give my respects to all inquiring friends. remain your affectionate son Freedom wrote to Lemuel in 1835. "I received a letter yesterday written in your name by someone else. I expect by your orders informing me of your situation, which was not very agreeable news. Though if you lived I expected to learn something like it sooner or later. I am sorry that of the numerous family you have there is one you have reason to expect help from... (Regarding Lemuel) It seems to be a singular circumstance that a man and wife should part and be separated for life without anything essential to cause it, but if agreed upon by both I don't know it is well enough. I was in hopes you would get a pension but if the United States does not give you anything for your services in the Revolution for the liberty which they now enjoy, I hope there will be feelings of humanity enough in the people of the Town of Bloomfield or the County of Ontario to give you a little something. If you come to Michigan to live with me which I am willing you should if that be your mind. You have lived amongst them the best part of twenty years. They know whether you are a fit subject for their help or not. Money is hard to be got in this country. I could not raise enough to get here... If you can find a good place for Alexander -- you had better do it. ......... If you had rather come this spring I am willing. And let Alexander come with you if that is your mind if you think he will do well......... (Alexander was Lemuel's 2nd to last son.

83898	When his father sailed for England in 1778, Peter remained in America with his mother. They stayed with the Jays. Peter was like a son to John Jay and at the age of fifteen Peter went with John on his diplomatic missions to Spain and France, while his cousin, Peter Augustus Jay, who was too young to go, stayed with his Livingston grandparents. On returning to America, Peter Jay Munro studied law with Aaron Burr, opened a law office, began practice, eloped with Margaret White, and "took a house on John Street," New York City. Peter Augustus Jay studied law in his office, then accompanied his father to England and made a side-trip to Edinburgh to obtain Harry Munro's signature to a quit-claim giving Munrosfield to his son. Peter Munro sold the land and with the proceeds bought property in Mamaroneck below Rye. About 1798 he built the house which was the nucleus of the town of Larchmont and which still stands on the Boston Post Road, between that road and Prospect Street. While continuing his practice in the city, Peter Munro lived in this home with his wife Margaret, who bore him twelve children. While John Jay was in England in 1794-95, Peter kept a supervisory eye on the farm his uncle was establishing in Katonah near Bedford, and on his return they no doubt conferred on building plans, for the Munro house, built about 1798 and the Jays' Bedford House, begun two years later, have much the same design. In 1821, Peter Augustus Jay and Peter Jay Munro served as delegates to the State Constitutional Convention in Albany. In 1826, Peter Jay Munro suffered a stroke and he died in 1833. Peter's wife, Margaret White, was the daughter of Henry White, of the Governor's council of New York, and Eve Van Cortlandt. In 1830, Margaret's portrait was commissioned by her daughter, Harriet.
