• Notes

  William married the daughter of Francis and Mary Brown. The "Boston Directory" of 1822 lists William Munroe as a grocer at 48 Fish Street, with a house on Lynn. From 1823 to 1827 he lived on Fleet Street and from 1828 to 1848 on Tileston. The 1830 "Directory" carries the joint listing of Abel and William Munroe, provisions, at 214 Hanover Street. In 1848 William became a constable and continued as such for the rest of his life. He was a junior warden at the Old North Church and had most of his children baptized there. His will was made on 23 Mar 1871 and proved on 20 May 1872. In his will, a granddaughter named Eliza C. W. Lawson is mentioned. It is not known which of William's children was her parent. He died at 118 Eutaw Street in East Boston. References: (1) Clan Munro library - "History and Genealogy of the Lexington, Massachusetts Munroes", 2nd edition, by R. S.
