Major Nathan Munro, Esquire

Notes:

Nathan married Hannah Allen on 21 Nov 1751 and on 3 Dec of the same year, he became the guardian of Hannah's siblings, Phillip, Solomon, Zachariah, Charles, and Jemimah Allen, all under 14 years old.

On 4 Feb 1754, he was made administrator of the estate of Hopestill Allen, widow of Benjamin Allen of Rehoboth. At that time, he also became the guardian of his wife, Hannah, who was still a minor over 14 years old, and Hopestill's granddaughter. On 1 Apr 1760, he became the guardian of Jonah Humphrey's children including Sarah, Mary, Jonah, William, and Silence. Jonah Humphrey was from Swansea.

He served in the Americal Revolutionary War from Rehoboth for 7 days on the alarm of 19 Apr 1775. He served as a Sergeant with Captain John Lyons or Captain Jesse Persin's Company. On 13 Mar 1777, he was appointed by the Council of War to command a flotilla of boats in an expedition against the British. At that time, he was given the rank of major.

His name appears on a list of officers and men belonging to the sloop "Providence," commanded by Captain John Paul Jones, who were entitled to prize shares in the ship "Alexandria," captured 20 Sep 1777. His name also appears on a list of men raised for six months service and returned by Brig. Gen. Paterson, as having past muster on a return to Camp Totoway on 25

Nathan left a will dated 3 Jan 1806.

Nathan married Hannah Allen on 21 Nov 1751 in Rehoboth, Bristol Co., Massachusetts, USA. Hannah (daughter of David Allen and Hannah Padelford) was born on 14 Apr 1733 in Rehoboth, Bristol Co., Massachusetts, USA; died on 30 May 1816 in Rehoboth, Bristol Co., Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

There is a controversy over whether Hannah married Thomas Chaffe or Thomas Chase. The uncertainty arises because of the similarity between the old way of writing "s" and "f". Thomas Chafee was Hannah's brother-in-law since her sister, Sarah married Amos Chaffe, Thomas's brother.

Even the marriage date is disputed. The marriage to Thomas Chaffe is said to be 7 Dec 1780 at Rehoboth, Massachusetts; and the marriage to Thomas Chase is said to be 8 Feb 1781.

The Munro reference gives Hannah's birthdate as 8 Nov 1776.

Hannah married Thomas Chaffe, Jr. on 7 Dec 1780 in Rehoboth, Bristol Co., Massachusetts, USA. Thomas was born on 9 Mar 1753; died on 26 Nov 1788. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

One reference spells her name Munroe.

An interesting note about her husband, Amos, is that though he was born on 11 Dec 1750, he was baptised on 17 Mar 1750! This is not an error, but an excellent illustration of the fact that until 1752, New Year's Day was March 25.

Sometime before 1783, Amos changed the spelling of his name to Chafee. He lived in Rehoboth, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island.

Amos' brother was Thomas Chaffee [4281].

(The following is from an e-mail sent by Mark Munro - 26 Feb 2013)

«i»I am fairly certain that Squire was not a title but a name. I think the best evidence for this is that his birth is recorded in a family bible as "Squire" - or something close to that and I don't think he would have had a title as a baby. See Munro Eagle #16 Winter 1985-1986 page 21. Although this lists him as "Square" - a typo that would plague his mentions in newspapers later in life - I believe that is a typo or mistranslation from sloppy handwriting. I have hoped to locate the original bible for inspection but have yet to do so. While this bible is said to have been purchased by Nathan Munro in 1784 - when Squire would have been 26 - giving at least a chance he may have and the title at that time, it still seems unlikely to me that his father would have listed his title but not name in the family bible. Just a thought.«/i»
**********


The following is from the Sikes reference:

Squier hired 50 acres of land in New Framingham, where he brought his family in 1779. On his way, he , with his goods, through some accident, was thrown into the Connecticut River. Narrowly escaping with his life, he sacrificed some of his goods, and all ofhis money, ten dollars in silver, so that he was forced to accept charity until he could locate himself and commence a course of labor that would bring him remuneration. Here he learned a lesson that was never forgotten. Whenever the poor applied to him for aid, after God had blessed him with the wealth of this world, they were never turned away empty.

It so happened that when the country began to grow, and lands in Central New York were offered for sale, a neighbor of (John) Deacon Munro's caught the western fever, sold his little farm half way up the mountainside, and moved to Elbridge, N.Y. Feber and ague lurked behind every tree; the weevil destroyed the first crops, and the rains drowned out the second. The family grew very sick of their bargain, and pined for the healthy mountain breezes and pure spring water that bubbled up in the crude trough by the door of the little red farmhouse they had left behind. So, returning in the fall for a visit, they took tea one day with neighbor Munro, the bent of the conversation tunring upon the mistake the farmer had made in going west. He was full of regrets and complaints and wished that he had never made so unwise a move, when (John) Deacon Munro exclaimed, "Well, well, neighbor, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll take your western farm off your hands without seeing it, and you may take mine; even swap all around." The visitor looked at him in surprise, saw that he was in earnest and seized the proffered hand and said, "Yes, yes, of course I will." Squire said, "Wife, you and the children pack up," and without further ado, Squire and Mary and four sons, John, David, Nathan and Phillip were off for their new home of 300 acres which Aschel Buck had acquired from the Indians for twenty-five cents an acre. The first white settlement was made there in 1791 by Captain Lindsay. He built his house by a clear running stream. He was a surveyor and he began laying out roads on which he collected tolls.

Squier opened a general store and a hotel and saloon. In 1806 he was asked to build eleven miles of the new turnpike road running through the towns of Elbridge and Camillus, finishing in 1808. In 1807 he represented Onondaga County in the Assembly of the State, and for several years was one of the judges of the county court at Onondaga Hill. With Scottish thrift he continually added to his estate. In 1825 he was assessed for 819 acres valued at $11,300, and personal property at $4000, taxed at $84.06. He built the first grist mill in Elbridge. In 1813 the Baptists formed a Church Society at the school house near Squire Munro's and his son John Munro put up a new church building in Elbridge costing $14,000. In 1826, Squier purchased slip No. 14 in the Baptist Church in the village of Auburn, taking a formal deed executed by the trustees and signed by order Elias Laxell, Secretary. The Baptist Church was then located at the junction of Exchange and South Streets, now Richardson Square.

The descendents of Squier became so numerous that Munro reunions held in Elbridge became large afairs, attended by 300 or more Munros. Squier expanded his farm holdings to 2700 acres.

Squier died in 1835 and with Mary Daggett, is buried in Elbridge cemetary. In his third and last will, he provided that the three daughters and three sons, Betsy, Hannah, Polly, David, Nathan and Phillip had, at their marriages, received farm homes of two to three hundred acres. They were each given two seats in the Baptist meeting house in Elbridge. To his wife, he gave the use of the home, farm, and other property during her lifetime, in case she did not contract matrimony. To John, the eldest son, he gave the entire residue, and remainder of every name, or nature, consisting of about 1400 acres of land with the livestock, and other personal property therein; mortgages, bonds, notes, book accounts, etc.

****************************************************

Ref (2) says that the name Squier or Squire was not a title, but that it was derived from ancestors on his mother's side of the family. In Ref (3) Prof. Yard speculates that Squire was a title and not a given name. Yard believes that Squier Munro is the same person as Joseph Munro, Esq. [10056]. Ref (6) also says that his name was not a title.

Ref (5) says Squier and Mary were married 1 May 1779 and that Squier died in 1836. Squier served as a soldier in the American Revolutionary War and was granted land in Elbridge, New York. He moved his family there from Cheshire, Massachusetts, and built a mill there. He usually spelled his name "Munro", but he signed his will "Manro".

He was successful in business and a leading figure in the church and the affairs of the town and county.

Ref (7) calls him Deacon Squier Munro and says that he died 31 May 1835, but notes that his tombstone says 31 Mar 1835. Ref (7) also says that Squier and Mary were married 16 May 1779.

Notes:

The following is from the Sikes reference:

"Phillip came with his father and family to Elbridge, N.Y. in 1799, locating on lot 81. After marrying Sibel, he settled in Cayuga County on a farm about twelve miles west of the Elbridge home, in the town of Throop, about three miles north of Auburn, living on the same farm until his death, aged 74.

Phillip's farm was located on the Turnpike about two miles west of the crossroads and the Baptist Church, on the north side of the road. On the map of 1875 of Throop, the residence is located under the name of his widow, S. Manro, across the road from the school. It appears he had accumulated over 1000 acres in several farms in this area and in Aurelius. He started with 150 acres purchased in 1820 from Squier in lot 15, Aurelius district, for $3500.

The village, known first as Jefferson, then Mentz, then Throopsville, was larger in 1800 than Auburn, and a main stopping point for covered wagons moving from Albany to Buffalo and on west, traveling down Turnpike road. At the crossroads was a hotel and tavern, with stable for ox teams behind. Across the road was a general store, a cheese factory, two flour and gristmills, a wine press, a scythe shop (as all hay was cut by hand), a machine shop, carpetner shop, post office and the Baptist Church, founded in 1803. As late as 1880, Baptists at Throop were immersed in the Owasco River. In winter a hole was cut in the ice. After steam threshing machines were invented, a thresher motor was parked outside the church throughout the winter to warm the baptismal font in the floor near the altar. The two front windows were named for Phillip A. Manro and Thos. Jefferson Manro. There were two services each Sunday and families arriving by cutter and sled, with hot stones under blankets to warm them, brought lunches and stayed for both sermons.

Phillip was of a genial disposition and made much of his grandchildren, whom he would greet by placing his hand on their heads with the blessing, "noble boy," or "noble girl." His wife, Sibel, was of soft speech and of personal poise. One of her sayings was, "Very little talk makes very little trouble." Her recipe for longlife and health was a glass of water from the west well before breakfast every morning, and her grandson, Squire Codner, recalls being the carrier for many years. She was interested in the daily news, and during the last years of her life, continued her habit of reading the daily paper without the aid of spectacles.

While Phillip had a goodly share of Scottish thrift, he loaned much to the Lord in gifts to the poor in the vicinity. On the occasion of a man's asking for a coat, Sibel said there were but two and both were needed. Phillip said if there were two, one should be given. There was always a very bountiful supply on the table. A visit brought joy to hearts and stomachs.

In 1830, Elder Jeffries, the pastor of the Throops Baptist Church, and 39 members were dismissed to organize the second Baptist Church in Mentz (now Port Byron). The Throop church was greatly weakened by this division, so that they felt scarcely able to support a pastor. Phillip Manro told Elder Noah Barrell that if he would locate with the church in Throop, he would guarantee him shelter and food so long as he himself had them. He came to the church in 1830 and 48 persons were added by Baptism and letter during the four years of his pastorate. In 1839, he was called to the pastorate again and 92 were added to the church in the three ensuing years. Upon the death of Phillip in 1870, it was found that he had provided by his will an annuity for the maintenance of the pastor of the church so long as it continued as at present organized. In 1931, this annuity had been paid regularly for 60 years and the sum set aside was still intact. For years, Phillip acted as sexton of the church. Directly after breakfast on Sunday mornings his custom was to walk to the church, removing all stones from the roadway as he progressed. The wood-burning stoves were built through the partition between the vestibule and the audience room so that the wood could be fed to the stove from the vestibule and the greater part of the heat radiated in the audience room.

Two days before the wedding of Mary Manro to Stephen B. Harlowe, Phillip, at the breakfast table, told Mary that she might go with him to Auburn that day to buy the wedding dress. The garment was truly new and fresh for the ceremony. As his children married, they were given farms near the homestead, Jonathan, the "Fish" farm in Aurelius, and Thos. Jefferson the "Rice" farm on Donavan Road, each of 180 acres. Mary and Betsy Louise (Atwater) each received about 50 acres, Mary's portion adjoining the Harlow farm. Cynthia H. (Benham) first lived near the Benham farm and later at a place adjoining the Fish farm.

In his will, after providing an annuity for his widow and the church, Phillip divided the estate equally among the five sons and daughters; "all honors to ancestors who, whether educated in high schools or low schools, if there be any low schools, have obtained trained hands and disciplined minds, and have in the main practised justice, mercy and humility."

Sibel Roberts, daughter of Harvey Roberts of Danbury, Conn. was a widow of William Davis of Camillus, whose will was dated September 18, 1830. Since all of Phillip's children except Cynthia were born before 1830 it is believed that Phillip was married to someone whose name is not known, and only Cynthia was born to Phillip and Sibel, however other references attribute some of Phillip's other children to Sibel."

Samantha married Thomas Walker Hill in 1839. Thomas was born about 1813; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

David lived in Camillus, Onondago County, New York.

Ref (2) says that Electa Smith was the mother of David's children, but the date of his marriage to Mary Hill and the birthdates of the children suggest that Mary Hill was their mother as ref (1) claims.

David carried on the balance of the home farm inherited from his father and lived in the original Munro house until the 1860's when he built a house on the lot next west, later remodeled into the Green Gate Inn.

He and his brother, James Madison Munro, were instrumental in establishing the Free Soil Republican Party in Camillus in 1852.
