  • Notes 
    • William was a merchant in Boston, Massachusetts. He was killed by the upsetting of a stage at Richmond, Virginia.

      His wife, Susanna, was the daughter of Captain Moses and Susanna (Barney) Grinnell. In Ref. (1) p. 214, William's wife's name is written Susanna (Barney) Munroe which makes it appear that her maiden name was Barney. But it is believed that this is an error and that William's mother-in-law's maiden name was Barney. His wife's middle name was Barney.
