| Notes |
- James became a provisions dealer in Boston where, in 1838, his business was on Ann Street and his home on Tileston. He may have been married twice, for on 27 Aug 1839 an Elvira A. Munroe witnessed a deed with him, while the wife who survived him was named Mary. There are several deeds in James' name at the Suffolk County Registry. One of them shows in 1851 he bought a dwelling house on Unity Street in Boston's North End.
On 7 Mar 1853, James was appointed administrator in the estate of jotham B. Munroe, "late Supt. of Alien Passengers."
James died at 335 Hanover Street on 8 Mar 1864, aged 65 years, 1 month, 10 days. His death record gives his birthplace as Surry, New Hampshire and his parents Abel Munroe, born at Upton, and Bethenia, born at Surry.
On 21 Mar 1864, Mary A. Munroe petitioned for the administration of his estate. The "Boston Directory" of 1866 shows Mrs. Mary A. Munroe, widow, living at 6 Unity Court. In 1873 she was living at 686 Shawmut Avenue and in 1876 at 20 Madison Street. During some of these years she had Jotham B. Munroe's widow Harriet living whith her. Also with her were others who may have been her children: Theodore, J. Munroe, hoseman (1869), policeman (1870), clerk (1873); Miss J. Ida Munroe, primary school teacher; and Joanna Munroe, also a primary school teacher (possibly they were the same person). Widow Mary A. Munroe dropped out of the "Directory" in 1877.
