Sarah Lawton

Notes:

**********
(The following is from an e-mail message from Marston Watson - 25 Jun 2013)

«b»«i»Sarah Lawton«/b» b. in 1640 Bristol, Bristol, Mass. She d. in Feb 1692/93 Bristol [no VR found]. She may have been of Lawton ancestry, but further research is needed. Sarah entered into an agreement on 1 Feb. 1691/92 with her four oldest sons (John, Thomas, William and George) and daughters Sarah and Elizabeth. In this agreement, Sarah promises "to bring up, maintain and educate the other four children - Susannah, Benjamin, Joseph and Mary - until they become of age or marry." The birth dates and birth order of Sarah's children are approximations, based on other source data.«/i»
**********



According to Guilford, "Wait has a vague sort of feeling that Sarah may have been in some way connected to Thomas Lawton."

According to Stotler, Sarah may have been born in Scotland, but Thomas E. Monroe says that it is very unlikely that Sarah came from Scotland as John came to America as a war prisoner in 1652, only men are listed on the ship manifest and New England was settled primarily by English.

Birth:
Bristol County, Rhode Island was created in 1747, so it did not exist at the time of Sarah's birth or death.

This birth date can be found in "New England Families" (via the Thomas E. Monroe reference).

Sarah married John Munro in Oct 1663 in Duxbury, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts, USA. John (son of George Munro and Marjory Ross) was born in 1637 in Evanton, , Ross and Cromarty, Scotland; died on 10 Oct 1691 in Bristol, Bristol Co., Rhode Island, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

**********
The following information is from the Sikes reference:

Thomas Munrow was the second son of John and Sarah if we accept the order of their children given in the "Articles of Agreement" as chronological. We know very little about him. He left no will; no inventory was taken of his possessions; there is no accounting of his estate on record. Some historians and genealogists have suggested that he was the nephew of William, of Lexington, but if this were so, then his father John would have been William's brother.

The first time we meet Thomas is in the records at Taunton in which we find his marriage on October 13, 1698 to Mary Wormwell. There is no "T" beside the entry to signify that it took place in Taunton, but if not in that town, it surely must have taken place not too far away. Mary Wormwell's ancestry is as yet undetermined, but she was probably a member of the Wormall family which appears briefly in early records of Rowley, Scituate and Duxbury. John Munrow may have lived in or near Duxbury in 1674 which could account for the acquaintanceship between the Munroe and Wormwell, or Wormall families.

Thomas and Mary settled in Bristol and the births of three children were recorded there, Elizabeth's being the second oldest Munroe birth in the town. This was apparently the extent of their family, for on February 13, 1705, the records show the death of Mary Munroe, wife of Thomas. Subsequent records indicate that Thomas married again, for we find a wife Margaret, and two more children who seem to belong to him.

**********

There is confusion about the death dates of Thomas and his son, Thomas. Dates in 1717 and 1744 are attributed to both men by various authors. It seems more likely that the elder Thomas is the one that died in 1744 and that his son, Thomas, died in 1717 shortly after his birth.

The Charles C. Munroe, III reference says that Thomas was the son of a Thomas Munro.

(The following is from an e-mail message from Marston Watson - 25 Jun 2013)

«i»William purchased commonage #33 (4 acres) from Obadiah Pappilon for £39 on 22 Aug. 1718. [NEHGR 124:176] William was a member of the first vestry at St. Michael's Church in Bristol, which was established through the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. [De Wolfe Howe, Bristol, Rhode Island: a Town Biography, 29-30].«/i»
**********

Ref. (1) says that William was the son of William [185].

William settled in Bristol, Rhode Island in 1698. He owned a farm that extended from the Grey Farm on the north to Mt. Hope on the south, and east to the Narrows. It was called the "Major Munro Farm" and was owned by the Munro family until 1900. It was later occupied by the Columban fathers.

He served as executor of the estate of his neighbor, Colonel Henry McIntosh (Mt. Hope Farm) and managed the property of his widow, Madam McIntosh. At the orginization in 1724 of St. Michaels Church, Bristol, Rhode Island, William became Vestryman. His son, Bennett [183], grandsons James [6969] and Edward [182], great-grandson Bennett [181], 2nd great-grandsons John [179] and Otis [7052], and 3rd great-grandson Wilfred [7053] have all been Vestrymen - six generations.

When he died, he had 30 slaves who were given to his children. He and several of his descendants were buried on the farm and their grave stones were later moved to the Major Munro lot at the North Cemetery (Neck).

One of his sons is said to have had no children, and another is said to have moved to Connecticut.

His wife, Mary Lindsay, was the sister of John Lindsay, who married William's sister, Elizabeth. One source says his wife was Elizabeth Carey, but this is unconfirmed. On Mary's grave stone it says she died 8 Nov 1760 at the age of 85, which places her birth in about 1675. Ref. (1) says 1685 and other sources say 1684, 1685 or 1677.

**********
The following is from the E.W. Wait reference via the Beckett file.

"John Munroe, second child of Thomas and Mary, was born in Bristol on May 14, 1701. We know quite a bit about him and he appears to have been a good, substantial ancestor. he left a will and from this we get some idea of his property and we learn the married names of his daughters.

"John married Hannah Rosbotham on April 29, 1728 in St. Michael's Church, Bristol. (This church was burned in May 1778 by British soldiers on a pillaging expedition from the island of Rhode Island.) They had a large family, their first eleven children being born in Bristol, their last two in Rehoboth, to which town they moved between December 1748 and October 1750. A deed dated February 20, 1750 shows that John bought sixty-three acres of land in Rehoboth from Jeremiah Allen for '1180 pounds of ye old tenor.'

"John Munroe's will is dated April 2, 1789 - he is 'of Rehoboth' and he calls himself 'yeoman.' He appoints his youngest son, Joseph, executor. To his wife Hannah he leaves all his household furniture, half of his dwelling -house, a quarter of an acre of land for a garden west of the house; also a cow and a swine, 'both to be kept for her winter and summer;' also 12 bushels of Indian corn yearly, 4 bushels of rye, 8 pounds of good sheep's wool, two pounds of flax, 50 pounds of beef, and 8 cords of firewood, 'brought to the door and cut fit for the fire.'

"John's will also leaves to daughter Comfort Bowen 27 pounds; to son Nathan 8 shillings; to son Stephen 30 pounds; to son Rosbotham 3 pouunds; to son Benjamin 15 pounds; to son John 45 pounds; to heirs of deceased daughter Elizabeth Carpenter 15 pounds; to heirs of deceased daughter Mary Fuller 15 pounds; to heirs of deceased daughter Alice Horton 15 pounds; to son Thomas 18 pounds; to daughter Hannah 30 pounds; and to granddaughter Patience Short 'for the love I bare to her and Services She as Done for me' 3 pounds. Son Joseph is to have all the estate, both real and personal, not otherwise disposed of. John died on April 18, 1793 and his will was probated the following 6th of August.

"In the first United States Census, taken in 1790, we find John Munroe of Rehoboth with a household consisting of one male of sixteen (himself) and two females - his wife Hannah and probably his daughter Hannah, as she was unmarried when he made his will in 1789 and was very likely still living at home.

"John Munroe appears in the tax lists for the years 1759, 1765 and 1769 as printed in Richard LeBaron Bowen's splendid work EARLY REHOBOTH. In 1759 he was taxed 12 pounds on his real estate and 6 pounds, 9 shillings on his personal estate. That he was a prosperous farmer is shown by the fact that in 1765 his tax jumped to 30 pounds on real and 13 pounds, 1 shilling on personal property; it was practically the same in 1769.

"John was sixty-three years old when he made the acquaintance of young Hector Munro. In February 1764, Hector, accompanied by a relative named Donald, turned up in Rehoboth and wrote a letter to a cousin back home in the Concord-Lexington area. He stated that he and Donald had been unable to find work in Boston, so had started for New York.

"'We marched from Boston,' wrote Hector, 'that very same day and came to Providence and as I was very curios inquiring after my Relations and Kinsmen, I was informed that there was Great Many of them in Rehoboth & Bristol within six mile of Providence & that same hour we marched of in order to find them out which we did that same night with one Nathan Munroe as stately a man as ever you seied of the name and he keepted us with him Two days and the Third he convoyed us to his father's house a good stately old man that hath great deal of Regard for his relations and he keepted us four days and the fift he and Nathan his son went along with us to convoy us in order to show us the rest of our relations down at Bristol and the very first house we came to was Doctor Munro, Captain Thomas Munro's son at Concord.' (Doctor Munro was born in Concord in 1731, a grandson of the first William Murnoe of Lexington; but had moved from there to Bristol before 1762.)

"It was providential for us that Boston had offered no employment to Hector, for otherwise he might never have gotten to Rehoboth and written the letter which adds proof of the relationship between the Bristol and Lexington Munroe families. (Incidentally, Hector went no further to seek his fortune; he married a Rehoboth girl and had several children born in Rehoboth and in 1776 he made his will because he was going into the Army.)"
**********

Ref 3, p. 26 says John first married Ruth Bowen [9683]. Since this marriage is almost never mentioned in the many references available for John, there is some doubt about its authenticity. Other references (i.e. Rockwell) say that Ruth was the second wife of John [29187].

The Stotler reference says that John sailed on the sloop "Providence" with John Paul Jones.

John and his family moved from Bristol, Rhode Island to Rehoboth between Dec 1748 and Oct 1750. There he bought 63 acres (ref 1) of land from Jeremiah Allen for 1180 pounds. Ref 2 says it was 69 and a half acres and that it may have been part of the land left to Hannah's mother. This land was in Rehoboth, Bristol County, Massachusetts until an 1812 boundary change set it in the rural town of Seekonk. It was situated a short distance west of the Rehoboth/Seekonk boundary, south of Winthrop Street (later Highway 44) and southeast of the intersection of Lake and Lincoln Streets. The family built a house to live in and some out buildings on the property. The farm produced grain and supported cattle, pigs and sheep.

John was a charitable and hospitable man, a patriarch who valued family connections. A letter dated Feb 1764 gives an account written by Hector Munro, a young soldier, a descendant of William Munro of Lexington, who had been recently discharged from the King's Army after fighting in the French War for King James. Hector tells of his travels to seek work in New York and Boston and to locate his "kinsmen" in Rehoboth and Bristol. During this time Hector met John, who was then almost 63. Hector was delighted by the elder Munro and described him as "a good stately old man and a man that hath a great deal of regard for his relations."

His will, in which he calls himself "yeoman," is dated 2 Apr 1789 (Beckett says 2 Apr 1781), and contains a wealth of genealogical information. He left the family farm to his son, Joseph, with the stipulation that Joseph care for his mother in the family home for the rest of her years.

He was buried in the family cemetery on the farm. His grave stone reads: "The Sweet Remembrance of the Just/Shall Flurish when they sleep in Dust."

Captain Bennett Munro lived for sometime at the Munro place on the corner of Hope and Franklin Streets, Bristol, Rhode Island, but for the greater part of his life, he lived on the Mt. Hope Farm (now Church's) then owned by Isaac Royal of Boston. Royal was a Tory and his property was confiscated in the Revolution and purchased from the state by Gov. Bradford.

Bennett was Vestryman at St. Michaels Church, Bristol, Rhode Island. He was the second of six generations to hold that position.

Ref (3) says that all of Bennett's children came from his first marriage to Sarah Bosworth, but Ref (2) says Bosworth died in 1754.

Notes:

The list of births in the town of Bristol, Rhode Island gives George's birthdate as 31 Aug 1710, but his gravestone says he died on 8 Sep 1744 age 67 which would place his birthdate in about 1677. Possibly two people confused here.

Notes:

Mary may have married three times, but two of her marriages occured in the same year (1736) and it is possible that one of the two marriages in that year (probably the one to John Ingraham) was only an intention to marry and the marriage to John may not have actually taken place.

Error alert: Some references say that Mary was the daughter of Joseph Munro and Mary Bowerman. It appears that in 1715, two people named Mary Munro were born in Bristol, Rhode Island. If so, these two people get confused in different references. I don't know which version is correct. [Ed.]

**********
The following is from the membership application of Kerry Chapman Gryczynsla:

In the soutwest corner of the Pownal Center Cemetery near the street is the grave of Mary Myers who died in November 1800 in her 86th year. All the Myers families of Pownal trace her.

She was born 23 Oct 1715 in Bristol, Rhode Island, the daughter of Joseph and Mary (Bowerman) Munro. Her grandfather, Tristram Bowerman, was a ship builder in Bristol and among other vessels he constructed "the good sloop William" as well as the sloop "Dolphin."

When Mary Munro played along the waterside in Bristol and doubtless in her grandfather's ship yard, Pownal and the State of Vermont were regions unheard of. She married Oliver Myers of Little Compton, a son of Nicholas "Mias" as he spelled his name.

Notes:

The Munro reference says John was born in "Rehoboth, Bristol Co., MA/RI".

The name of John's wife may have been Bethany Cornell. One reference says they married on 20 Jun 1782, and he may have had an earlier marriage. Parthenia was the daughter of Gideon and Hepzibah (Lewis) Cornell.

John served in the Revolutionary War from Rehoboth, Massachusetts 1 May 1778 to 1 Jan 1779 in Captain Jacob Fuller's Company, Colonel John Jacob's Regiment in Rhode Island.

He moved to Plainfield, Connecticut where he was a member of the Legislature. He became a Quaker after the war.

At his death, his estate was worth $417.55 but he may have given away much to his children before that. His wife's will was proved in 1835. She left $1 each to her sons Job and Cornell, $130 to Samuel and the rest to her daughters.
