Generation: 3

  1. 3.  Joshua MonroeJoshua Monroe Descendancy chart to this point (2.Sarah2, 1.Sarah1) was born about 1788 in Montville, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts, USA; died in Jan 1835 in Mount Vernon, Posey Co., Indiana, USA; was buried in , Posey Co., Indiana, USA.

    Notes:

    Some references say Joshua was born in Hillsboro, New Hampshire, other evidence points to Scotland as his birthplace in 1780-90. In an 1880 census of Posey County, Indiana, Joshua's son, Edwin indicates that his father was born in Virginia. This is thought to be incorrect.

    He was in America in the early 1800's living for a time in Cayuga County, New York, where his first two children were born. Other references say they may have lived for short periods in Nova Scotia, Canada and in Virginia. Sometime between 1816 and 1823, Joshua, his wife, Julia, and their three young children made the long migration from New York to Indiana. The likely migration route was by wagon to the vicinity of Pittsburgh, thence by Ohio River flat boat until reaching the thriving port of Evansville or the smaller one at Mount Vernon in the newly opened lands of southwestern Indiana. The presence of a number of contemporaneous Fairchild families in Posey and Vanderburgh Counties would indicate that Joshua and family were part of a multi-family trek.

    Family legend says that Amelia was killed by Indians in 1828 close to the Ohio River in the vicinity of Mount Vernon, Posey County, Indiana. Also killed was Mrs. McFadden, wife of Andrew "Tweedle Dum" McFadden. They were the parents of Miranda Jane McFadden, the future wife of Amelia's son, Edwin. Miranda was with the two women when they were killed, and she was half scalped by the Indians. She bore the scars of her injury for the rest of her life. Amelia does not appear on the 1830 census of Posey County, Indiana, with the rest of the family, so she was probably dead by then. Several references say that Joshua was also killed by Indians at the same time, or died shortly after, but Joshua is on the 1830 census. He died shortly before Jan 1835.

    Joshua's wife was named Amelia (or Alma) Julia (or Jane) Fairchild. One reference says there were at least three children born in Cayuga County, New York and the rest were born in Indiana. The children's names come from several different sources that do not agree among themselves, so there may be errors here.

    In an area where land was cheap and the principal occupation was farming, there was no record of Joshua owning land. His 1835 estate settlement showed he died insolvent. It is probable that he was poor when he went to America and remained in that condition which could account for the lack of records about him.

    There are hints that Joshua was the son of Thaddeus Monroe [7326].

    A good deal of information about Joshua appears in ref 2. At least one reference says Joshua died in 1823. Ref 2 says he died "of sickness" in Jan 1835.

    In 1850, he was a farmer living with his family in Waterloo, New York.

    David died after 1870.

    Notes:

    Belinda is listed on the 1850 census as being born in New York, but the more probable location is New London as her parents were there until about 1799.

    She was initially buried in the Knight Cemetery at the northeastern corner of the intersection of Green River Road and Lincoln Avenue, close to what was later the eastern outskirts of Evansville. In 1923, the Evansville Common Council granted a petition to have the bodies exhumed and the cemetery vacated. Her remains were reinterred in the same grave with her husband and son, Joshua, in the Oakhill Cemetery.

  1. 8.  Oliver MonroeOliver Monroe Descendancy chart to this point (3.Joshua3, 2.Sarah2, 1.Sarah1) was born about 1816 in , Tioga Co., New York, USA; was christened in in Belle River, Posey Co., Indiana, USA; died on 29 Jan 1893 in , Jefferson Co., Indiana, USA; was buried in Belle River, Posey Co., Indiana, USA.

    Notes:

    On 27 Feb 1835, shortly after the death of his father, Oliver purchased five household items at his father's estate sale. He was the only Monroe surnamed individual who purchased items.

    He paid a poll tax in Black Township in Posey County in 1842. While others on the list were tased for their acreage, Oliver so not, leading to the conclusion he was landless at the time.

    Oliver was counted twice in the 1850 U.S. census. He was a teamster living with his family in Black, Indiana with $400 in property, and in Mt. Vernon, Indiana with $600 in property.

    Shortly before the 1860 census, Oliver migrated with his family from Posey County to Jefferson County, Illinois. He is listed there with his family on the 1860 census, where it says he was a 47 year old farmer born in Indiana.

    liver served in Company D, 60th Illinois Infantry from Jefferson County during the American Civil War (1860-1865)

    Notes:

    Edwin's biography in the 1888 Posey County, Indiana history says he was born in Cuyahoga County, New York. There is no such county and it is believed that he was born in Tioga County, New York.

    His tombstone inscription reports that he was born 30 May 1813. Other sources say 1815 or 1817.

    Both of his parents were dead by the time he was thirteen to eighteen years of age, and he was obliged to support himself at that age.

    In 1835, Edwin purchased land from the US Vincennes land Office. He sold the same parcel less than a year later and then purchased a lot in the town of Mount Vernon in 1845.

    The 1850 census of Posey County, Black Township lists Edwin as a 33 year old farmer born in Connecticut and owning $1800 in property.

    The 1860 census says he was a 43 year old farmer born in New York.

    Edwin is found on the 1880 census of Black Township, Posey County, Indiana as a 65 year old farmer, but he is called Edward.

    Edwin died of influenza at his home near Farmsville.

    Notes:

    Jerusha (or Jerutia) Almira (or Elmira) Monroe and William K. Ham (or Vann) were married by S. Stephens, JP.

    They are found on the 1840 census of Posey or Vanderburgh County, Indiana. William is listed as age 20-30 and Jerusha is listed as age 30-40.
    In the 1850 census of Vanderburgh County, Indiana, she is listed as Lucy Ham, age 30.

    The 1860 census of Posey County, Indiana shows her as 40 years old.

    The 1870 census of Henderson County, Kentucky, lists her as J. A. Royster, 51, living with her second husband, Alexander Royster and her son George Ham, age 27.

    The 1880 census of Posey County, Indiana, lists her as a 58 year old mother living in the household of her widowed daughter, Mary's, house.

    Several of her siblings named their children after Jerusha. It is reasonable to speculate that as the eldest daughter, she became a mother figure to her siblings after her mother's death.

    She worked for many years as the matron at the Orphan Asylum in Evansville, Indiana.

  5. 12.  Charles MonroeCharles Monroe Descendancy chart to this point (3.Joshua3, 2.Sarah2, 1.Sarah1) was born about 1823 in Staser, Vanderberg Co., Indiana, USA; died on 3 Dec 1873 in Haubstadt, Gibson Co., Indiana, USA; was buried in Staser Cem., Scott Twp., Vanderburgh Co., Indiana.

    Notes:

    A history of Gibson County reports his birth in 1820, but census records indicate that Charles was born about 1823.

    Charles' parents settled in Vanderburgh County, Illinois around 1821. Family lore says that they came from Cayuga County, New York, but that has not been verified. They died when Charles was 4 months old and he is said to have been raised in Vanderburgh County by John and Christen (Margaret Clinton) Staser who were immigrants from Germany. At age 17, he began trading on the Ohio river (Flatboat) dealing in chickens but lost his money in an unfortunate business deal.

    He married first in 1841 and again in 1843, and settled down into the life of a farmer. In 1848, he bought 40 acres in Vanderburgh County, Indiana, and bought another 40 acres in 1851 in Scott Township, Vanderburgh County.

    In 1850, Charles (possibly known as Tom Charles or Thomas Charles) was a farmer with $400 in property living with his family in Scott, Indiana.

    Different references are in conflict about his children. One reference says he died in 1859 in Scott Township, Vanderburgh County, Indiana. The Miller membership application says he may have been born in Kentucky, and that his wife, Nancy, was born in Nov 1859.

  6. 13.  Catherine Louisa MonroeCatherine Louisa Monroe Descendancy chart to this point (3.Joshua3, 2.Sarah2, 1.Sarah1) was born about 1824 in Prob., Posey Co., Indiana, USA; and died.

    Notes:

    One reference says Catherine was born in 1821 in Cayuga County, New York. This is probably incorrect.

    A Catherine Monroe bought 40 acres of land on 9 Dec 1836 in Vanderburgh County from the US Land Office in Vincennes, Indiana. It is difficult to explain why the US Government would sell land to a 12 year old girl. This was almost two years after her father's death. Her second husband, N. B. Stroud sold the land in 1848.

    She married George Robert (or Ruber) in 1839. If the birth date is correct, she would have been 15 years old, a very young bride even for those times. It may have been that her orphan status hastened the marriage process.

    In 1850, she was 26 years old and living with her family in Vanderberg County, Indiana.

    The N. B. Stroud family was not found on the 1860 census indexes for Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, or Missouri. Possibly the family migrated beyond these immediate states.

    Notes:

    In 1841, William, who was under 21 years of age, petitioned the probate court to have William K. Ham appointed his guardian. William K. Ham was the husband of William's oldest sister, Jerusha.

    William's first wife was Charlotte Mills. They were married in 1850, but she died before 1860. The 1850 census of Vanderberg County, Illinois, shows William and his wife, Charlotte living with William's sister, Catherine, and her husband. On the 1860 census, his wife is listed as Lavina and he has two children. It is not known which wife was the mother of the two children.

    In 1860, William was a 32 year-old farmer living with his family in Union Township, Vanderburgh County, Indiana.
