[Capt. Andrew Monroe] «i»Son of Andrew Monroe (d. 1668) & Elizabeth (?Alexander); Westmoreland County, Virginia, U.S.A.; Captain in Militia, J.P.; m (1) Eleanor Spence, with issue - Andrew (d. 1769/70), Spence (d. 1725/6), Elizabeth (m. John Arrington), & Susanna (m.[1] Charles Tyler, [2] William Newton, [3] Benjamin Grayson)(d. November 1752), & m. (2) 1707 Mrs. Sarah Elliott - no children.

**********

Andrew lived in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He was a Capt. (one reference says Major) in the Scots Army and a Judge or Justice of the Peace. He owned large estates and numerous slaves. In 1705, he made a deed for 3 acres to John Hore, part of a tract patented by his father in 1652.

Andrew was married three times, but only had children by his second wife, Eleanor Spence (or Spens).

His first wife may have been the daughter of Thomas Bowcock, Sr., of Westmoreland County, and Jane Bowcock. She was the sister of Margaret Bowcock, who married her husband's brother, William Monroe. Her mother, Jane Bowcock, married (2) Thomas White after the death of Thomas Bowcock. She had no children.

His second wife, Eleanor, was the daughter of Lt. Patrick Spence (1633-1684) and Dorcas, his wife. Dorcas married (2) John Jordon, who died 1696. Dorcas died in 1708, leaving a will in which she mentions her daughter, Eleanor Monroe and other members of the Monroe family. Eleanor's first husband was James Bowcock.

Andrew's third wife, Sarah Foxhall, was the daughter of John and Martha Foxhall of Pope's Creek, Westmoreland County, Virginia, and the widow of John Elliott. Sarah's granddaughter, Martha Sturman [3725], by her daughter, Sarah Elliott, married Jordon Weedon [3724], the nephew of Andrew, her second husband. (Follow that if you can.)

When Sarah's first husband, John Elliott, died in 1708, she was left with four minor children. She had no issue by her second husband, Andrew Monroe.

Andrew's will is dated 30 Dec 1713 and proved 26 May 1714. The Johnson reference says he died Nov 1735.

Error alert: The Cochran reference says Andrew married Christine Tyler, but it is believed that Christine married another person named Andrew Monroe. The same reference lists Spencer Monroe (who married Elizabeth Jones) as one of Andrew's children. Elizabeth Jones actually married Spence Monroe who was the son of the Andrew Monroe who actually did marry Christian Tyler.

Andrew married Eleanor Spence in 1678 in , Westmoreland Co., Virginia, USA. Eleanor (daughter of Lt. Patrick Spence and Dorcas Youell) was born in 1664 in , Westmoreland Co., Virginia, USA; died in 1708 in , Westmoreland Co., Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Andrew married Eleanor Bowcock before 1685. Eleanor (daughter of Thomas Bowcock and Jane) was born about 1663; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Andrew married Sarah Foxhall in 1707. Sarah (daughter of John Foxhall and Martha) was born about 1660; died about 1739. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Spence is named in the will of his step-grandfather, John Jordan. From that will he received a negro, a silver-hilted sword, a drum, a gold ring and a sorrel horse.

**********
The following abtract appears in the Westmoreland Order Book:

"Pursuant to order of Sept. 1738: John Elliott and Richard Watts settled the estate of Spence Monroe, dec'd. The estate was divided between (1) the relict, who had married Richard Fry; (2) James Bankhead; and (3) a minor daughter, Sarah Monroe. The land was on Monroe's Creek."
**********

In his will, dated 15 Jan 1726 and probated 30 Mar 1726, he left his sword and all his wearing clothes to his brother Andrew, and mentions two small children and one unborn child.

One reference gives his name as Spens and confuses him with Spence [1628], the father of President James Monroe.

His wife was Christian Tyler. She married (1) Spence Monroe [3545], then (2) Andrew Monroe [291] (the first cousin of Spence), then (3) Richard Fry.

She was the sister of Joseph Tyler of Westmoreland County who died 1737 leaving a will in which he mentions as "cousins" (meaning nephews and nieces) several of the children of Christian Monroe.

Ref 3 says Spence was born in 1697.

The Charles C. Munroe reference says that Spence died without issue and says that his wife, Christian Tyler was actually Sp[ence's mother.

Notes:

Susannah (or Susanna or Susan) was married three times and had issue by (2) Charles Tyler, and (3) Captain (or Colonel) Benjamin Grayson. The Holt reference says she was the aunt of President James Monroe, but she was probably his first cousin twice removed.

Error alert: The Boggs reference says that Susannah first married William Linton and second Charles Tyler, but the dates of her children indicate that she was first married to Charles Tyler and second to William Linton. Also, the Bolton reference says Susannah was the daughter of Andrew Monroe and Elizabeth Alexander.

From her father, Susannah inherited: one negro boy, 2 cows, 2 steers, household furniture and 10,000 pounds of tobacco.

One reference gives Susannah's birth year as 1704. The Williams reference gives the name of Susannah's first husband as William Luiton.

Notes:

Spence inherited and resided at "Belle Air," the former residence of his father in Prince William County, about two miles from the Occoquan river. Later in his life he went to England and studied theology. He was ordained by the Bishop of London, 24 May 1771. He then returned to Virginia in 1771 and preached for a long time at Cameron Parish in Loudoun County, Virginia.

He was a chaplain with the rank of captain in Colonel William Grayson's Virginia Regiment in the American Revolution and was a fighting as well as praying parson. He was Chaplain of Grayson's Additional Continental Regiment in May 1777. He retired 22 Apr 1779.

Spence Grayson was known as a refined gentleman and was devoted to his family and to his friends. He was a large handsome man of distinguished being and manner and an eloquent speaker. He and his family were prominent in the affairs of Virginia and were frequent guests of President George Washington. He was a personal friend of the President. When George Washington's nephew, Major George Augustine Washington was married, there were three clergymen present. The General chose Rev. Grayson to perform the ceremony and gave him $100.

"Belle Air," his home, was situated in the southeast corner of Prince William County, Virginia. The broad Potomac flowed in front about a mile distant south. The view of the Potomac was particularly fine pointing as it did up and down many miles and including Indian Head directly opposite on the Maryland shore. Indian Head was where the Americans opened fire on the British squadron under Com. Gordon on its decent down the river in 1814 after plundering Alexandria.

The plantation consisted of 1000 acres of fine rolling and well-watered land. In nearly the center of the plantation there rose a beautiful tableland, elliptical in shape, large enough for the dwelling, the out-houses, shade trees, walks, gardens, and lawns, and it was exclusively used for that purpose.

Spence was ordained by the Lord Bishop of London on 29 May 1771. The births of some of his children in England was estimated by the time he was in college there. Some of them may have been born in Loudoun County where he preached after returning from England. He was a justice in Prince William county in 1769, so his daughter, Susan Monroe may have been born before he went to England.

Colonel William Monroe Grayson was an attorney and was one of the first two senators from Virginia. His middle name is not certain.

William's children received large tracts of land as a result of his service as a Colonel during the American Revolutionary War, when he served as aide-de-camp of George Washington. The Grayson grant was on the Little Sandy River at the site of Grayson, Kentucky (then in Greenup County, later in Carter County.)

Notes:

Susan (or Susannah) Monroe Grayson

The Williams reference and ref 3 say that Susan married Lund Washington and had Lund, Susan Jean, and Peater Grayson Washington. Other references say it was Susannah Monroe Grayson [19599], who married Lund Washington and had these children. Lund Washington, b. 1767, is much closer in age to Susannah [19599], b. 1767, than to this Susan, b. 1743. The Williams reference is probably in error.

Ref 1 says Susan was born in 1738. Ref 2 says she may have been born in England.

Susan married John Orr in 1761 in Leedstown, Westmoreland Co., Virginia, USA. John was born in 1726 in , , , Scotland; was christened in in Of, Leedstown, Westmoreland Co., Virginia; died in 1791 in Bull Run River. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On 20 Feb 1794, John sold a tract of land on the Rocky Branch of the Nottoway River which appears to be the same tract of land purchased by William Monroe 32 years before. This is the only evidence linking John as a possible son of William.

The Gerald Monroe reference says that John was the son of Andrew Monroe and Jane Watts.

John first appears in the records of Mecklenburg County, Virginia in 1784 when he received a land grant of 444 acres of land on the south side of the Roanoke River. He sold half of the land on 8 Jan 1787.

On 16 Feb 1808, John sold the other half of his property because he apparently planned to move to another state. He died before he completed his move. His estate was valued at 668 pounds 3 shillings and 6 pence.

Error alert: There is a lot of confusion surrounding this person. It is possible that this is actually the record of two different men named John Monroe. Some researchers say he was the son of William Munro and Mary Smith. There are two children listed in this family named John who are alive at the same time which is almost certainly an error.

Notes:

John was bound as an apprentice to his brother-in-law, Lund Washington, to learn to be a ship's officer or commander. While at sea on the brig "Polly", he was kidnapped by the British on the coast of Holland and impressed into service as part of the crew of a 20-gun ship.

During a battle between this British ship and a Dutch 20-gun ship, John deposed the British officer in command for cowardice and assumed command. He boarded and captured the Dutch ship and carried her out to sea and away from the guns of the Dutch fort which was also firing on the British ship.

John wrote to Lund Washington and told him of his predicament whereupon Lund, with the help of the US Government, obtained his release in 1800. He returned to America and told Lund that the British tried to get him to stay in their navy as a ship commander. He had been in command of the ship "Charleston" and others.

John served in the US Navy retiring after the War of 1812.

John became owner of a line of ships and followed in his brother-in-law's footsteps as a ship line operator. At one point he took command of the "Liverpool Packet: sailing from Savannah and Charleston to Liverpool, England. He made many trips to England and other places and at times took his wife with him. One of his children was born on one of these trips.

He later became the harbormaster in Savannah, Georgia. He was an able seaman and a powerful and resolute man.

Ref. (5) says John served in the U.S. Navy rising to the rank of Captain.

One reference says he was married in Savannah, Georgia. He may have been married in Charleston or Georgetown, South Carolina.

Notes:

Error alert: Johnson may have been a child of his father's second wife, Margaret. Also according to the dates in the references, Johnson died one year before he was married, which is a bit unusual.

There is Rosa Monroe married Erasmus Roberson in 1833 in Granville County, North Carolina. Rosa and Johnson may be related.

He moved to Granville County, North Carolina.

There is a lot of uncertainty in this family. the Randy Scott Monroe reference has Johnson Monroe, the son of John Monroe, married to Amelia Hurt Hooper. Other references say Johnson Monroe, husband of Amelia Hurt Hooper, was the son of William Monroe and Mary Smith. It is not known if there are two people named Johnson Monroe who have been confused, or if there is just one Johnson Monroe who has been assigned as a child to two different families.

John was a judge in Kentucky.

Error alert: One reference has John as a child of John [728]. Also, some references say that John's wife was Sarah Harrison, but she was married to John Monroe, the son of Thomas Monroe and Martha Minton. Also notice that John died before he was married. There definitely are problems with this record.
