• Notes

  Hugh brought his family from Canada to Michigan and changed the spelling of his last name from Munro to Monroe. Hugh and his brother, Duncan, could not both have been born in 1840 (Jun and Aug). There is an error somewhere. Ref: Clan Munro files - Monroe, Beth - membership application References: (1) Clan Munro files - Ritter, Donna Lou - Descendants of Neil Munro dated 6 Oct 1997 - p. 1 Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA [5] (Medical):Hugh was an alcoholic who abandonded his family after having taken a horse whip to his son Neil in anger. He probably left he wife and 8 children not long after the birth of his last child in 1884. His oldest son, Neil, would have been 14 at the time. [4]
