- **********
"William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine" - Vol. XIII #4 - Oct 1933 - The Monroe Family - p. 231-241
Joseph was born in Westmoreland County and named for his maternal uncle, Hon. Joseph Jones of Virginia. He was married three times: first, in Albemarle County in 1790 to Elizabeth Kerr; second on 27 Oct 1801 to Sally Gordon; and third on 19 Oct 1808 to Elizabeth Glasscock.
From 1804 until 1810 he was Clerk of the District and Circuit court as shown by a tablet on the wall of the Northumberland County Virginia Court House.
He moved west and died in Franklin, Missouri on 5 Aug 1824.
**********
Joseph was sent to Edinburgh University in Scotland by his brother, James. After failing there, He studied law in Virginia and failed there also.
Col. Joseph Jones Monroe became a member of the Albemarle Count bar. He served as private secretary to President Monroe, and was Clerk of the district and Circuit Court of Northumberland County, Virginia (1804-1810) as shown by a tablet on the wall of the Northumberland County Court House. He was appointed Commonwealth Attorney of Albemarle County in 1811.
His first wife was a daughter of James Kerr.
As a widower, he moved west, probably to Kentucky with his daughter and son-in-law. In 1819, he moved to Franklin, Howard County, Missouri where he was one of the first settlers in the county. There he married Mrs. Hulda (Hubbard) Davis, a daughter of Rev. Hubbard, one of the earliest Baptist preachers in North Missouri.
In 1821, he moved to Keytesville, Missouri.
According to the Missouri "Intelligencer", the first newspaper established west of St. Louis, Joseph "was a man of warm heart, of undoubted integrity, of polished education and inestimable worth."
Refs 1 and 2 say Joseph was born in 1772.
One reference gives his death date as 6 Jul 1824 and his birth date as about 1772. Another reference gives his death date as 1831. His first wife, Eilzabeth Kerr (or Carr) died in childbirth. His second wife was Sally (or Sarah or Sara) Gordon. His fourth wife was Huldah Hubbard (or Hulda Davis). Guilford says he died in Keytesville, Charlton County, Missouri, and Holmes says he died 6 Jul 1824 in Howard County, Missouri.
"Burke's Presidential Families" says that he only had one daughter in his first marriage, and that he only married three times.
