  • Notes 
    • Thomas is a descendant of Hezekiah Meroth who was head of a family that changed their surname to Munroe.

      He married Mary (Polly) Vose, the daughter of George, and Mary (Glover) Vose and worked as a blacksmith.

      He apparently commited suicide because according to p. 368 of Dorchester VR, he "cut his throat at Mr. J. F. Pierce's"
