Notes:

Amos came to Spencer, Massachusetts in 1768 and bought a farm there. He married the daughter of Jacob and Ann (Capen) Prouty.

He served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War.

"Genealogy of the Lexington Munroes" (by R. S. Munroe) gives Anna's birth as ca. 1758 and death date as 8 Oct 1835. A handwritten genealogy dated 10 Sep 1867 and apparently written by Joshua Munroe, Jr., Anna's grandson, says she died in 1825 age 77. That would put her birth date as about 1748. Both references say she married in 1768. Therefore, the latter birth and death date seem more likely since they would place her at age 20 when she married, while the former set would place her at about age 10.

Notes:

Jonathan moved to Spencer, Massachusetts about 1768, but he left Spencer and went to Plainfield, Massachusetts before 1780. His second wife, Sally Coggswell was from Paxton.

At a legal meeting of the inhabitants of the District of Plainfield, in the home of Mr. Simon Burroughs, on Monday, 25 Jul 1785 Mr. Munroe was chosen one of the Surveyors of Highways. The next eight meetings were held at the home of Jonathan Munroe, whose house then stood where that of the late Lewis Shaw stood. In 1964, his home was still standing and in fine condition and owned by Mr. Edward Bloom. Jonathan bought numerous pieces of land in Plainfield. The records of these purchases are in the Registry of Deeds at Northampton, Massachusetts.

Jonathan returned to Spencer with all his eight children except the two oldest. He purchased a farm in North Spencer and lived in a long low house on the east side of the road. His son, Jonathan was born in this house there they lived for many years.

His daughter, Clarissa, was born to Jonathan and Sally Coggswell before he married her. This child was brought up in his family. She was always known to the family as Aunt Kent and was a very estimable woman.

Jonathan was a great hunter and he used to go to Kentucky where he hunted with Daniel Boone.

Notes:

Various Munroe family notes state that Otis was born in 1797. Indeed, his death certificate states his age as 38 at the time of his death from asthma on 14 Jul 1834 in New York City, and the same certificate lists his birthplace as Boston, Massachusetts. The certificate shows his remains were interred at Bethel Baptist Cemetery in New york, a cemetery no longer active. According to "The Ichnography of Manhattan Island 1498-1909", by I. N. Phelps Stokes, there were three large burying grounds in Manhattan in 1828, one being for the Baptist and Scotch Churches in Wooster Street, near the old Potter's Field, now Washington Square.

Otis probably moved from Boston to New York City, New York in the mid 1820's. He is found in the 1830 census of New York, and in New York City Directories. He was a printer in New York City in the 1820's and 1830's living in various places in the city including the rear of 31 Orange Street (1826), 27 Mulberry Street (1829-1830), and 117 Orange Street (1832-1834).

That Otis Munroe, father of Malvina, William and Eliza, is the same person as Otis Munroe, son of Amos Munroe and Ann Prouty, is pure conjecture. However, there seems to be a good case to believe it to be true. The extensive genealogical research of Harry E. Boland led him to this conclusion.

Nothing is known about the marriage or descendants of Otis Munroe the son of Amos Munroe. Nothing is known about the parents or ancestors of Otis Munroe the father of three. The only problems with assuming the two people are one are: Otis, the son, is recorded as being born on 8 Nov 1791 in Spencer, Massachusetts and Otis, the father, is said to have been born in 1797 in Boston, Massachusetts. Boland explains these discrepancies as follows. During the time in question, the numeral "1" was commonly written in a way that made it look like a "7". It would be easy to believe that this fact could cause an error to be made in one of the birth dates. Also, the information that Otis, the father, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, comes from information given by his widow on Otis' death certificate. Since she was from Pennsylvania, she may not have been very familiar with Massachusetts and Boland conjectures that she may have stated the more familiar "Boston, Massachusetts" rather than Spencer, Massachusetts.

In light of these plausable conjectures, and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, it is assumed that the two Otis Munroes are the same person, but anyone interested in this genealogical line should be aware that the connection is not proven.

Jonathan was a farmer.

When Jonathan died, he left the house on Wire Hill Road to his son, Walter Marshall, and directed him to give each of his children a certain sum of money except Charles Henry, whom he omitted for some reason. When the will was read, Walter Marshall left out the exception, and paid him an equal share with the rest. Charles Henry never knew his father had intended to have him omitted.

Family/Spouse: Johnson. was born about 1811 in Of, Gilbertville, Worcester Co., Massachusetts; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

James received his early education at the high school in Hardwick (1832) taught by Rev. John Goldsbury. In 1835, he went to the Wesleyan Academy in Wilbraham. At the age of 18, in 1836, he taught in Greenfield, Massachusetts.

He very much wanted to attend college to make himself a better teacher, but the means were not available to go. He spent most of the year of 1837, working with his father on the farm. His mother and sister worked to earn money to help with his education, and he finally graduated from Yale on 21 Aug 1845, the oldest member of the class. While at Yale, he was a diligent student and above average in his studies.

After graduation, he went south and taught as principal in schools in Milledgeville and Macon, Georgia, eventually earning enough to repay his sister for helping him through college. But after two years, his health began to fail and he returned home to Hardwick, where he spent a year or more in recruiting.

In 1849, he resumed teaching in Hyannis, Massachusetts and in 1850 at Barnstable, then back to Hyannis in 1851, each time serving as principal.

In May 1852, he went to California and settled at Rockville, near Suisun Sity, Solano County, California, where he was again engaged in teaching at the academy there. He began attending the Methodist Church and became a prominent leader and an efficient superintendent of the Sunday-school. He also was an active member of the Odd Fellows.

Some time before his death, he became a regular contributor and part proprietor of a paper published in Sacramento, California called "The Star of the Pacific" and his influence was fast becoming a power in the area.

His death was caused by an inguinal hernia which was suddenly enlarged because of work he was doing in building a cottage for his family.

Notes:

When Walter's father died, he left the house on Wire Hill Road to Walter. He also left a certain sum of money to each of his children except Charles Henry, who was omitted for some reason. When Walter read the will, he left out the exception and paid an equal sum of money to Charles, who never knew his father had intended to have him omitted.

In 1900, Walter had a nervous breakdown which resulted in his commitment to the Worcester, Massachusetts State Hospital, where he died. He made a very remarkable chain from one piece of wood, which was much admired. The chain later came into the posession of his neice, Drusilla (Monroe) Calitri.
