  • Notes 
    • Like his eldest brother Philip, Isaac studied medicine. There is a family tradition that he attended the University of Edinburgh medical school in Scotland. A search of the medical records showed no trace of Isaac, but many medical students attended lectures of the famous Doctor Alexander Monro without actually being enrolled in the medical school. During Isaac's time it would have been Alexander Monro Secundus 1733-1817.

      Isaac and his wife, Mary, lived in Mary's hometown of Wendell, Massachusetts until 1793 when they moved to Westmoreland, New Hampshire. In 1801 they settled in Surry, New Hampshire. In 1816, Dr. Isaac Monroe moved his family to Hamilton, New York.
