Notes:

George was a Master Mariner and Captain of his own sailing vessel. He sailed from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to China.

While he was in port in Vancouver, he saw a picture of Katherine Loretto Carroll. After some correspondence he sent her money to leave Chicago, Illinois and come west. She was to bring a member of her family with her and she took her youngest sister, Star.

George boarded the train one stop before she was to disembark and hired a stateroom. Upon seeing her he said "Kitty Carroll, you are looking at the original George E. Monroe. If what you see, you like, then kiss and bind the bargain. If not I have the money to send you home." They were married on 8 Aug 1888 in Vancouver and she sailed with him.

Error alert: According to the dates given in the reference, Joseph was born when his father was 10 years old and 20 years before his father was married. Joseph probably does not belong in this family. The reference (Mackenzie) is hard to follow in this area.

Joseph was adopted and had his name changed to Jackson. He invented several valuable improvements to the typewriter.
