• Notes

  Spence is named in the will of his step-grandfather, John Jordan. From that will he received a negro, a silver-hilted sword, a drum, a gold ring and a sorrel horse. ********** The following abtract appears in the Westmoreland Order Book: "Pursuant to order of Sept. 1738: John Elliott and Richard Watts settled the estate of Spence Monroe, dec'd. The estate was divided between (1) the relict, who had married Richard Fry; (2) James Bankhead; and (3) a minor daughter, Sarah Monroe. The land was on Monroe's Creek." ********** In his will, dated 15 Jan 1726 and probated 30 Mar 1726, he left his sword and all his wearing clothes to his brother Andrew, and mentions two small children and one unborn child. One reference gives his name as Spens and confuses him with Spence [1628], the father of President James Monroe. His wife was Christian Tyler. She married (1) Spence Monroe [3545], then (2) Andrew Monroe [291] (the first cousin of Spence), then (3) Richard Fry. She was the sister of Joseph Tyler of Westmoreland County who died 1737 leaving a will in which he mentions as "cousins" (meaning nephews and nieces) several of the children of Christian Monroe. Ref 3 says Spence was born in 1697. The Charles C. Munroe reference says that Spence died without issue and says that his wife, Christian Tyler was actually Sp[ence's mother.
