Notes |
- James Spence was the only son of President James Monroe. James Spence died in infancy, extinguishing the President's male line.
James Spence was born when his father was serving as Governor of Virginia. His death came at a difficult time for his father because just prior to this, Gabriel Prosser, leader of a slave revolt, had been captured along with 35 others and all of Richmond gathered at the Governor's Mansion when Prosser was brought before Monroe. Prosser was tried 30 Apr 1804, found guilty and hanged.
James was unable to attend the erection of a headstone over his son's grave. He asked John Clarke to attend to this, directing that it bear only the initials "J.S.M."
