• Notes

  ********** (The following is from "The Monroe Book" - by Dr. J. S. Guilford - p. 12) «i»It is assumed that Robert did not survive. He was, after all, the uncle of John and Hugh and thus an older man. However, we believe that we have found him in Windsor, Connecticut as is shown by the following records published in Records of the Particular Court of Connecticut 1639-1663 (Conn. Hist. Soc. and Soc. of Colonial Wars in the State of Conn., 1928). On 1 March 1654/5, "Robrt Munroe Scotchman hauving Sould 2 quarts of Liquor to the Indyans Contrary to Law is adjudged to pay for the same according to the Law £20 & hee is to bee secured till the fine bee secured to this Comon wealth" (p. 140). On the first Thursday in March, 1665/6, "Robert Munroe Complaines of John Bissell for missdimenor in taking the lock from the seller dore whereby his liquors weare indangered if not indammaged" (p. 161). At the Quarter Courte in Hartford 5 June 1656. "Rob: Munrow plt. Contra Rich. Sexton defendt in the fencing to the dammage of 15 pounds" (p. 168). The same year, "Rob: Munrow plt. Cont Rich. Sexton defendt in an action about fence being defective the jury findes for the plt.: 50 Shill which is to be deducted out of Sexton his rent and Costs of Courte" (p. 169). There is no further record of Robert in any history, but at least we know that he was in the liquor business at Windsor by 1655.«/i» ********** Robert may have been banished to America along with two of his nephews after the Battle of Worcester. Robert, John and Hugh Munrow were listed as prisoners shipped from London on the "John & Sarah" on 11 Nov 1651 bound for Boston, Massachusetts. References: (1) "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W.
