• Notes

  Rev. John Monroe studied for the ministry in England and migrated to Virginia in about 1650. For several years, he was minister of St. John's parish, Pomunkie, King and Queen County, Virginia (probably Pomunkey Neck, between the Pomunkey and Mattapony Rivers.) He witnessed a disposition by his brother Alexander Munro of Katewell in 1688. John married, Christian the daughter of Commissar Blaire. The supposed birth dates of Christian and John's two sons may be in error or Christian may not have been their mother. ********** The following is from Mackenzie's "History of the Munros of Fowlis" - p. 31 John studied for the Church and emigrated to America, his brother Andrew being there before him, where for several years [he served as] minister of Pomunkie, Virginie. He married there, with issue - several children, whose descendants, according to the late Alexander Ross, lived and are still numerous in the United States. Probably one of his sons was the Rev. Andrew Monro, minister of the Established Church, Virginia, on record in 1696, and named after his uncle, Major Andrew. A Rev. John Monro, appears as a rector in Northumberland County, Virginia, in 1692." ********** References: (1) "History of the Munros of Fowlis" by A.
