• Notes

  Amos came to Spencer, Massachusetts in 1768 and bought a farm there. He married the daughter of Jacob and Ann (Capen) Prouty. He served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War. "Genealogy of the Lexington Munroes" (by R. S. Munroe) gives Anna's birth as ca. 1758 and death date as 8 Oct 1835. A handwritten genealogy dated 10 Sep 1867 and apparently written by Joshua Munroe, Jr., Anna's grandson, says she died in 1825 age 77. That would put her birth date as about 1748. Both references say she married in 1768. Therefore, the latter birth and death date seem more likely since they would place her at age 20 when she married, while the former set would place her at about age 10.
