84351	William was said to be a "Huguenot refugee of noble birth." He may have been one of three brothers who were deported from Scotland as indentured servants for following "Bonnie Prince Charlie". One supposedly went to Massachusetts, one to Annapolis, and one to New Orleans. The following are notes which were copied by Frank A. Munroe, Jr. from "an old notebook" which cannot be found now. "Wm. Munroe had Thomas Bailey bound the 11th day of August 1774 and to serve 3 1/2 years" "1776 entered to share with Jibbert August 17, 1775." "1788 went to live at Edward's house May 7. Left there February 5, 1779." (The 1788 date must be incorrect. It probably should be 1778. It is not known who Edward was.) "John Munroe went to Annapolis June 22, 1780 to go an apprentice being 17 years old August 6th next." These notes carry a lot of unknown meanings except that John Munroe was William's oldest son and the dates correspond exactly with the date of his birth.
