• Notes

  The "Boston Directory" of 1830 shows Jotham as a waterman living on Battery Street. Later he lived on N. Bennett, Hanover & Tileston Streets until in 1843 he settled on Charter. After a few years as a waterman, he was employed in the provisions business. In 1840 he was a dealer in wood and coal at Bartlett's Wharf. In 1848-49 he became "alien commissioner" at 59 Long Wharf, a position he held until he died of "ship fever" on 11 Feb 1858. In Mar 1853, the administration of the estate of Jotham B. Munroe, "Late Supt. of Alien Passengers," was granted to James Munroe of Boston, provisions dealer. The "Boston Directory" of 1853 shows Mrs. Jotham B. Munroe at 6 Charter Street and she continues to be listed in Directories (sometimes as Harriet T. Munroe, widow) at various addresses for over twenty years. From 1873 to 1875, she lived with her sister-in-law, James Munroe's widow, at 686 Shawmut Ave. In 1876 they were both at 20 Madison Street and Harriet died there on 15 Feb 1881. Her death record gives her parents as Israel and Sarah Hadley, both born in Concord, Massachusetts.
