  • Notes 
    • **********
      The following is from "Munro Family" by E.W. Wait via the Beckett reference.

      "Hannah Rosbotham, John Munroe's wife, was born in Bristol on June 20, 1711, the daughter of Captain Joseph and Elizabeth (Church) Rosbotham, As there are no previous occurences of that odd name in New England, I am inclined to think that Captain Rosbotham was a sea-faring man who sailed in and out of the flourishing port of Bristol, that he settled down long enough to marry and have four children - Hannah being the youngest - and that between 1711 and 1717, when his widow remarried, he was lost at sea."
