• Notes

  Asher did not move to Ohio with his parents and younger siblings because he loved his home near Kasson Brook in Windy Valley too much to leave. One summer he walked to Ohio to visit his parents and then returned home. References: (1) "History and Genealogy of the Lexington, Mass. Munroes", 2nd ed. by R. S.
