When he was only nine years old, his mother placed George under the care of Captain Norris of Bristol, Rhode Island to go to sea as a cabin boy for discipline. At age 19 he was captain of his own ship.
When he married, his wife persuaded him to give up the sea. He studied medicine of the Hahneman method and supposedly began a practice, but a directory of Brooklyn, New York in 1849-50 lists him as a painter. The 1850 census shows him living with his family and Margaret Simpson in Brooklyn, New York.
In 1855 he had moved to Greenport, Long Island, New York where he did start a successful practice. He also taught navigation. In a census report of 1860 he listed himself as a mariner.
George used the spelling Monro, but in later years may have added the "e".
After his wife was burned to death from the explosion of a lamp, he took his younger children, George, Hezakiah, Usher, Emily E. and Clara M. to Bristol, Rhode Island. The youngest, Joseph H. was adopted by people named Jackson in Greenport. He then moved to Pennsylvania to join his kin. He later remarried in Pennsylvania.

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.

When she married Philip, Sibel was a widow with two daughters, Laura and Lydia. Sibel Roberts, daughter of Harvey Roberts of Danbury, Conn. was a widow of William Davis of Camillus, whose will was dated September 18, 1830. Since all of Phillip's children except Cynthia were born before 1830 it is believed that Phillip was married to someone whose name is not known, and only Cynthia was born to Phillip and Sibel, however, other references attribute some of Philip's other children to Sibel.

When she was born, Juliette's family lived next door to William and Juliette Drinkwater. She was obviously named after her neighbor, Juliette Drinkwater, who may have been her father's sister.
In 1870, Juliette (or Julia) is found on the Newton County, Mississippi census in the household of her older sister, Sarah. Julia moved with Sarah's family in 1872 and settled with them near Canton, Texas.
Her husband's family changed the spelling of their last name to Hale after the Civil War. One reference gives her name as Virginia Drinkwater Monroe.

When Walter's father died, he left the house on Wire Hill Road to Walter. He also left a certain sum of money to each of his children except Charles Henry, who was omitted for some reason. When Walter read the will, he left out the exception and paid an equal sum of money to Charles, who never knew his father had intended to have him omitted.
In 1900, Walter had a nervous breakdown which resulted in his commitment to the Worcester, Massachusetts State Hospital, where he died. He made a very remarkable chain from one piece of wood, which was much admired. The chain later came into the posession of his neice, Drusilla (Monroe) Calitri.
