| Notes |
- Rev. Nathan Munroe was a famous preacher, educated at Bowdoin College (Phi Beta Kappa in 1830) and Andover Theological Seminary in 1835.
He was licensed to preach by the Woburn Association in Apr 1834. In that same year, he became President of Newark College, later Delaware College, at Newark, Deleware, but resigned after six months because of ill health. On 10 Feb 1836, he was ordained as 9th pastor of the first church in Bradford and served until 1853, when he retired due to ill health. He was also a trustee of Bradford Academy (now Bradford College) and was influential in the early days of that institution.
He was secretary of the American S. S. Union from 1853 to 1858 and editor of Boston publications from 1858 to 1863. He was well known in theological and educational circles.
Nathan married three times. His first wife, Mary Jane, died leaving three children. She was the daughter of Joseph S. and Sally (Pettingell) Pike.
Nathan had six children by his second wife, Lucelia, but three of them died young. She was the daughter of Burrage Yale, Esq.
His third wife, Ann Marie, was previously married to James T. Craig. She brought with her a son, Henry S. Craig, who later moved to California. She was the daughter of Henry and Ruth (Dickinson) Smith of Stanford, Kentucky.
In 1850, Nathan was living in Bradford, Massachusetts with his wife, Lucelia, and three of his children, William, Mary J., and Sarah.
He died in Bradford after a long illness.
