  • Notes 
    • In 1856, Henry was living in Shelby County, Ohio. In 1850, he was a farmer living with his family in Washington, Ohio. The 1860 census shows him in Butler Township, Mercer County, Ohio. Guilford says Henry was born in Ohio.

      Although Henry is not proven to be a member of this family, several pieces of strong circumstantial evidence seem to indicate that he is. He was born in the right area, at the right time, and William Harrison Monroe was reported to have a son Henry in other Monroe research publications. Henry named his first son William.

      Henry Monroe came to Ohio with his half-brother when he was 21 years of age. This would coincide with the time Henson Monroe came to Ohio, as proven by his children's birth locations. This same information was related by David S. Monroe, son of Henry, to his granddaughter, Wilma Monroe. Since there is so little information about William Harrison Monroe's family (only that he had nine sons and one daughter -- information found in his Revolutionary War penson records) it is possible that there were two marriages, and that Henry and Henson were indeed step-brothers.

      There is a possibility that this record is a composite of two individuals. It is also quite possible that Henry was the son of Bretanna, William Harrison Monroe's other wife.
