William was a farmer, teamster, and logger. He and his wife started housekeeping in a log cabin but as the family grew they built a larger house. In 1915, he went to Oklahoma to see about homesteading but the land didn't suit him. The family moved to Webberville in 1906. He was village marshall and for many years Deputy Sheriff. He was a hardworking man and his family came first in everything. He had a stroke in 1939 and spent the last five years of his life in bed.
One reference says his middle name was Lemuel and that he was born in 1854. The name of his wife is uncertain.

His wife, Susanna, was the daughter of Captain Moses and Susanna (Barney) Grinnell. In Ref. (1) p. 214, William's wife's name is written Susanna (Barney) Munroe which makes it appear that her maiden name was Barney. But it is believed that this is an error and that William's mother-in-law's maiden name was Barney. His wife's middle name was Barney.

William was born about 1837 in Williamsburg, Dundas County, Ontario, Canada and was christened there in the St. Peters Lutheran Church on 16 Jul 1837.
His ancestor, Captain John Munro, had fought on the side of the British in the American Revolutionary War, and had been banished to Canada with many other Loyalists.
Family tradition says that William Harvey immigrated from Scotland. It is said that he arrived in his kilts and had papers to a castle in Scotland, but the papers were lost in the 1900 Galveston flood. In view of other evidence, this tradition is not likely.
He spent his childhood in Williamsburg and is found there on the 1851 census where he is listed as a 13 year-old laborer living with his parents. This would place his birth in about 1838. He is also found in the 1861 Williamsburg census as being 24 years old, placing his birth in about 1837.
William seemed to lack a sense of focus as a youngster. He moved from his parents' home in Williamsburg and went to Russel Township, Ontario and found work as a carpenter. He is listed there on the 1861 census, but he must have left shortly after the census was perpared because on 2 Feb 1862, he married Julia Elizabeth Potter in Galveston, Texas. Julia was the daughter of Albert M. and Elizabeth (Tuttle) Potter. Their first child, William Harvey Munro, Jr., was born in Galveston on 18 Jan 1863.
Texas didn't hold his interest very long either. Possibly as early as 1869, William and his wife took their young son and made the long trek to Corinne City, Territory of Utah and settled there. Their second child, Gertrude, was born there on 15 Oct 1869. Since Corinne City was settled in Mar 1869, William must have been one of the founding fathers of that community.
William first worked as a grocer in this infant settlement and with hard work and good luck, his fortunes began to brighten. He quickly became an influential businessman and community leader serving as Councilman (1869-1870 and 1873-1874), Mayor (3 Mar 1870-3 Jul 1872), and member of the Board of Trade (1871). He was one of the managers of a benefit to help build the new Episcopal Church in 1869, and he was an active member of this church.
The following is the text of an article that appeared in a local Corinne newspaper on 6 Jul 1871:
"Last night at the hour of 12 o'clock as Mayor Munro and family were retiring, his attention was attracted to something stirring outside. Promptly opening the blinds, a man was discovered crouched close to the house, when quick as thought our worthy executive bounded through the casement and gave chase to the stranger, who had, upon discovery, fled from the place. Over the fence flew the fleet pursuer and then the race ended, for the prowler was caught fast in the Mayor's grip. Mr. Munro started to take the rascal to jail, but the chilly night reminded him that the rainment he then had on was too thin for the hour, whereupon, with a dozen well directed kicks he let the marauder off, pledged never to be seen on Colorado street again. The adventure will have the effect of making housekeepers more watchful of nights."
Also in 1869, he formed a partnership with John Creighton and founded the firm of Creighton and Munro, wholesale and retail grocers. His business grew to be one of the largest of its kind west of Omaha, Nebraska, and he owned a huge warehouse at the corner of Montana and 6th Streets which often contained nearly a million pounds of freight awaiting shipment. By 1871, when he sold his interest in the firm to his partner, he was the general western agent for the Far West Fast Freight Line Company and began to enjoy awesome success. He became known as "The Merchant Prince West of the Rockies."
He served as Secretary of the Corinne Steam Navigation Company, which built a steamboat 130 feet long and three stories high to carry ore from the mines on the south shore of the Great Salt Lake to the smelters at Corinne. It was named "The City of Corinne" and was a very famous boat during that time (1871).
An 18 Jun 1870 census of Corinne City, Box Elder County, Territory of Utah, shows William as 30 years old and working as a grocer. Also included in his household is his wife, Julia age 27, William age 7, Gertrude age 8 months and Annie Frew, age 18, a domestic servant from Scotland.
William was not all work and no play. He owned a horse named "Sheep" which he enjoyed entering in local harness races. He also played third base on the town baseball team. He served on the reception and transportation committee for the Independence Day celebration in 1870, and was floor manager of the Christmas dance held 25 Dec 1869.
After his third child, George, was born in Apr 1873, things seemed to begin falling apart for William. He moved his family back to Galveston, Texas, where in 1879, his wife, Julia, filed for divorce accusing William of neglect and drinking. The divorce was granted in Jan 1880. William received custody of their son, William, Jr. and their daughter, Gertrude, with 6 year old George going to Julia.
Shortly after the divorce, William moved to Beaumont, Texas, where he lived in a boarding house and worked as a bookkeeper. William, Jr. worked as a hotel clerk and Gertrude, now 10 years old, attended school and boarded with George Stovall, a school teacher. All three are found on the 1880 census of Beaumont. By 1881, he had moved again, this time to Woodville, Texas, where he found a job as an agent for the East Texas Railroad.
Nothing more is known about William Harvey Munro, wanderer, pioneer, merchant, entrepreneur.

William was born at 10:00 AM on 24 Aug 1837 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He and his family lived at 104 West 53rd Street, New York City, New York.
He served as the US Navy Engineer aboard the USS Wyoming, East India Squadron from 23 May 1861 to 1 Mar 1871. The USS Wyoming was the first steam and sail battleship in the US Navy and William was aboard when the Wyoming engaged Japanese ships in battle in the straits of Shimonoseki, Japan on 16 Jul 1863.
A few days after the battle, William wrote a letter to his brother, James, in which he described the action.
"About a month ago a small American steamer called the Pembrook left this place for Shanghai via the Inland Sea and Nagasaki after arriving in the sea and going as far as Shimonoseki Straits she anchored one night about ten o'clock. After she let go a Japanese steamer and brig came out from Shimonoseki Straits and anchored along side of her and the other just astern. She lay til 1 ( ) when both of the vessels opened fire on her. She then left as soon as she could and went outside to our consul and he sent word here to our minister, and the second after we had got our coal in and started for the place. We arrived there on the 16th inst. As soon as we entered the straits the Japs fired three signal guns to let the Batteries and ships know of our arrival. They had been expecting us from the looks of things. We went in without our flag hoisted and when we got abrest of the first battery (a masked one) they fired three shots at us, carrying away some of our main rigging and killing one marine. As soon as the shots were fired we hoisted our colors and opened fire ( ) return with the 11' shell and broadside guns on the Stbd side. We kept going all the while for three vessels. The steamer brig and a bark, which lay off the town and pass the batteries. The vessels had Japanese colors flying all the time. In passing the bark she poured a broadside in to us (she being on the stbd hand) and we gave a her as good as she sent in larger pieces. In passing the brig exchanged broadsides with her and gave the steamer the 2 port 32 Pounders. We passed along and turned ship around, giving them the shot and shell all the time. The Japanese steamer had in the meantime slipped ( ). We got two 11' shell into her one went through her boilers and blew her up and the other into her counter, she stopped and drifted ashore, the shell that struck her boilers went right through her and into the town knocking 2 or three houses down. We then steamed by the brig and bark firing in to them with our port battery and sending a few shell into the shore batteries. We were struck several times by the ships and batteries going but when we came out we were not struck anywhere to hurt us. All their shots going over us. Two of the batteries did not fire when we came out, they were stopped while we went in. There were 6 batteries all together firing at us beside the signal one. We left the brig sinking she had settled about two feet when we came back. Since I commenced this the French ship came in He would not get into the straits but lag outside and landed men and took one battery the small French vessel lost her ( ) mast.
The French Admiral confirms on acct and saw the topmasts of the brig over water, the steamer had been got off and towed out of sight. I will send you a paper with a map and a very good acct of the fight. I am all right and enjoying good health. The English will have the next turn and they will use them up ( ) only wish we had about 5 ships the same size of us here we could show them all the way. Give my love to all and expect to be home in about a year.
Your affectly.
(signed) W. C. Munroe, ( )"

William was born at the Monroe Tavern in Lexington, Massachusetts
William was educated in the public schools of Lexington and at the Academy. When he was quite a young man, he went out to that part of the "Western Reserve" now know as Ohio in the interest of his uncle, Edward Munroe, who had large enterprises there. He made the journey by canal boat, stage and on horseback.
For three or four years he was actively engaged in establishing mills, stores, etc., at Munroe Falls, near what is now Akron; but the great financial panic of 1837 put a stop to these enterprises and compelled his return.
Soon after returning from the west he established himself in partnership with his cousin William Muzzey, as agents in Philadelphia for the New England Glass Co., which was for many years the leading manufacturers of glass in the United States.
He remained in Philadelphia until after the Civil War, when he returned to Boston as treasurer of the New England Glass Co., taking up again his residence in the old tavern. Because of the dicovery of natural gas, the glass industry was removed to the region where this ideal fuel for glass making was found, and the stockholders of the company voted to dissolve the company. The work of closing up the affairs of the concern and of disposing of its properties fell entirely upon William and occupied him for several years. When this work was finished, he retired from business and devoted himself to the care of his place and to the entertainment of the hosts of pilgrims to Lexington, to whom he delighted to tell the story of the "Battle" and of the "Tavern."
Gradually under the weight of years, he grew weaker, but did not suffer from pain or disease. He died peacefully in the afternoon of 28 Aug 1902.
He was always proud of his native town and until feebleness prevented, he was faithful in his duties as a citizen and was a constent attendant at the First Parish Church. He was of the fifth generation of Munroes who were members of this church.
He served on the committee which planned the centennial celebration of 19Apr 1875. He also was instrumental in having tablets placed on the historic sites in Lexington and served on other committees having to do with the welfare of the town.
His funeral was held at two o'clock on 30 Aug 1902 at his home. The Rev. C. A. Staples officiated and read appropriate passages from the scriptures and referred with deep feeling to his many years of intimacy with the deceased. He spoke with eloquence of William's uprightness, kindness and unfailing courtesy, summing up his character as that of a Christian gentleman.
