  • Notes 
    • Error alert: Some references say that Mary was the daughter of William Munro and Mary Lindsay. It appears that in 1715, two people named Mary Munro were born in Bristol, Rhode Island. If so, these two people get confused in different references. I don't know which version is correct. [Ed.]

      **********
      The following is from the membership application of Kerry Chapman Gryczynsla:

      In the soutwest corner of the Pownal Center Cemetery near the street is the grave of Mary Myers who died in November 1800 in her 86th year. All the Myers families of Pownal trace her.

      She was born 23 Oct 1715 in Bristol, Rhode Island, the daughter of Joseph and Mary (Bowerman) Munro. Her grandfather, Tristram Bowerman, was a ship builder in Bristol and among other vessels he constructed "the good sloop William" as well as the sloop "Dolphin."

      When Mary Munro played along the waterside in Bristol and doubtless in her grandfather's ship yard, Pownal and the State of Vermont were regions unheard of. She married Oliver Myers of Little Compton, a son of Nicholas "Mias" as he spelled his name.
