| Notes |
- The "Boston Directory" of 1828 shows Abel Munroe as a provisions dealer at 240 Hanover Street. In 1830 he appears jointly, in provisions with with William Munroe. He seems to have prospered in business for in 1839 a deed calls him "Gentleman." By 1839 he was designating himself as Abel B. Munroe. On 31 Mar 1831 he bought land on Tileston Street and lived there for over twenty years, when he moved to North Bennett Street, between Salem and Short (not Wiggin) Streets. He owned considerable property in this area and there are numerous deeds in his name at the Suffolk County Registry. Edward G. Porter in his "Rambles in Old Boston" refers to him as a "wealthy citizen who held many public offices."
Abel was married three times. His first wife is thought to have been Mary Wadley of Keene, New Hampshire, the daughter of Jonathan E. Wadley of Albany, New York. According to S. G. Griffen's "History of Keene", Jonathan was the proprietor of the Old Ralston Tavern in Keene from 1817 to 1823.
His second wife was Deborah C. (possibly Johnson?), who died "by accident" at 37 North Bennett Street. Her death record gives her mother's name as Lucy, born at Scituate, Massachusetts.
His third wife was Mrs. Madeline Augusta Sanchez of Boston, age 35, daughter of William and Mary Ferrar. She was the widow of Manual Sanchez, a Cuban cigar trader, and she had one son named Robert.
It is not known which of his wives was the mother of his children.
Able died at 33 North Bennett Street.
