Error alert: It is impossible to make a reasonable estimate of Gordon's birth date. According to Mackenzie, Gordon's grandmother, Ann Purves Munro was born in 1800 and Gordon Ross died in 1824. There just isn't enough time for Ann to grow up and have a child who then grew up and had Gordon who then died as an adult in 1824. I'm assuming Gordon's death date of 24 May 1824 is incorrect.
Lieutenant Gordon Ross.

Error alert: It is very hard to estimate Catherine's birth date and make any sense out of it. Catherine was the 4th great granddaughter of Hugh Munro, I of Coul. Her husband, John was the great grandson of the same Hugh Munro, I of Coul, so there is a difference of 3 generations between Catherine and her husband. Expanding the dates as much as possible in John's line and compacting them as much as possible in Catherine's line still leaves nearly 50 years difference in their ages. I'm leaving that age difference as it is until I get more accurate information.

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.

«i»p. 35 Guilford, Joan The History of the Monroes. Abraham born 1762 appl. for a pension on the basis of his Revol. War service on 1 June 1833 and in it stated that he was born at Lexington, resided at Wendell, Hampshire Co., MA at his enlistment in 1777, res. next in Worcester Co., MA and in 1784 removed to NH and in 1793 to New Hartford, Oneida Co., NY and then to Bridgewater, NY from where he applied. He mentions no wife or children, but in 1850 he was at Bridgewater, NY with an Adeline, born about 1813 in NY probably his daughter. During the war he was a private in Capt. Harvey's Co., Col Woolbridge's Mass Regt. and was present at the surrender of Burgoyne. He served 1 July 1771 to 13 Dec. that year and in 1779 from 1 August to 1 Sept. in Capt. Baker's Co. In 1800 he had 2 male children under 9 and 1 female under 9 at Oneida Co., Also with him were a female 16-25 and another 26-44 probably his wife...
There are many early records of land sales by members of the Monroe family. The earliest is a record dated 21 Jan 1799 for land sold by Abraham Munroe to James Benham. Jonas Monro and Samuel Munrow appear in 1803, and Jacob Monroe in 1807. I'm not sure whether these were the dates that the land was sold, or the dates that the deeds were recorded (which could have been years later).

«i»George A. Monroe is widely known as the pioneer mortician of Whatcom county and represents a family whose members have figured prominently in business circles of Ferndale for more than forty years. He was born September 24, 1858, in Michigan City, Indiana, of which state his parents, Henry and Angeline (Griffin) Monroe, were early settlers. The latter was a native of New York state and the father was born in Inverness, Scotland. They came to Ferndale in 1884 by way of the water route and here spent the remainder of their lives. Their sons, John H. and Daniel G. Monroe, had preceded them to Ferndale in 1883 and operated the first sawmill in this locality. A sister is the widow of F. L. Whitney, one of the pioneer surveyors of Ferndale, and another sisters, Mrs. A. M. Crawford, passed away in Bellingham, in which city her husband's demise also occurred.
After the completion of his high school course George A. Monroe devoted a number of years to educational work, teaching school in Indiana and later in Washington. In 1897 he opened an undertaking establishment in Ferndale and later added a line of furniture. He is well informed on all matters pertaining to the lines in which he specializes, and the steady growth of the business is indicative of his executive ability, good judgment and honorable dealing.
On September 24, 1883, Mr. Monroe married Miss Anna Berg, a daughter of John and Dora Berg, who passed away in Laporte county, Indiana. To Mr. and Mrs. Monroe were born seven children: Harry, who died in 1888; Jennie, the wife of Harry D. Jackson, of Anacortes, Washington, and the mother of two children, a son and a daughter; Mary, now Mrs. Byron E. Shellaberger, of Bellingham; Hattie, the wife of William E. Goeller, of Spokane, Washington, by whom she has one child, a son; Helen, who married J. R. Barkley, of San Diego, California, and has three sons; George H., who is a graduate of the University of Washington and follows the profession of teaching; and John R., who is attending the State Normal School at Bellingham, making a special study of the violin.
Mr. Monroe votes the democratic ticket and is a consistent member of the Baptist church, with which his wife is also affiliated. When they came to Ferndale it was a typical frontier district and the only means of communication with the outside world was through the stage, which stopped at the town but once a week, or by canoe. The forests were filled with wild animals, and one day while walking on the road near their home they discovered a cougar but were not attacked. They have passed through all of the phases of pioneer existence, learning many valuable lessons in the school of experience, and the prosperity which they now enjoy is the merited reward of years of
industry and thrift. Theirs is one of the most hospitable homes in the county, and their friends are legion.«/i»

Error alert: Some references say Donald had a sister, Ann (or Anna or Aine) who married Angus MacDonald of Ylla, Lord of the Isles. But Angus fought at Bannockburn in 1314, over three centuries after Donald so Ann could not have been a sister of Donald.
Donald supposedly lived in County Derry, Ireland near Lough Foyle (Lake Feowl) on the River Ro. He left Ireland with his followers in 1025 to come to the aid of King Malcolm II in his war against the invading Danes. The Danish King Sweyn Forkbeard had conquered England and had become its king by 1013, but died in 1014. His son, Canute succeeded to the throne.
At a Parliament at Scone, Donald was given the lands north of Inverness bordering the north shore of the Cromarty Firth as a reward for his help. These lands were known in Gaelic as "Fearainn Domhnuill" and anglicised to Ferindonald, or "Donald's land". The estate has been in possession of the Chief of the Munro Clan continuously for nearly a thousand years.
There is some evidence that Donald lived somewhat later than 1025. For one thing, the royal grant of Ferindonald occured more than a century after Donald's death in 1039 or 1053. Some traditions state that he came to Scotland with his sister, Ann, who was married to Angush Macdonald of Isla, Lord of the Isles. The only early Macdonald Chiefs named Angus were Angus Mor Macdonald who ruled 1255-1300, and Angus Og Macdonald who ruled 1303-1329. Angus Og married Margaret, daughter of Guy O'Cathan of Ulster, the tocher being seven score men out of every surname under O'Kain. Several of these Irishmen are said to have become the heads of clans or septs in Scotland and among them is specifically mentioned the Munros, so-called because they came from the Innermost Roe-Water in the county of Derry, their names being formerly O'Millans.
Several of the generations following Donald cannot be verified by surviving documents and since it is human nature to want the founding father to be as ancient as possible, it is quite possible that Donald Munro lived several hundred years after he is claimed to have founded the Clan Munro.

"His [Ocaan's] son, Donald Munro, led his clan back to Scotland, fought for King Malcolm II A.D. 1025, and at a Parliament at Scone he was granted a Barony, which he named Foyle or Foulis after the Lough from whence he came.
"Donald died in 1053 and was succeeded by his eldest son, George Munro, who died in
1101. George was succeeded by his son, Hugh, who became the First Baron of Foulis."

[Kelley] «i»presents a lineage based on oral tradition regarding the kings of Tara, first known rulers of Ireland. The first eight generations are not adequately established but the first known name is that of Tuathal Techtmar who led an invasion of Ireland which must have occurred in the third century. From this point through seven more speculative and 26 more established generations, Kelley leads us to the advent of one Domnall Abunro, brother of Aine, wife of Angus Og MacDonald, Lord of the Isles and uncle of John, Lord of the Isles. «/i»[Domnal]«i» was the son of one Cumhaige na nGall O'Cathain, probably King of Craobh, Cianachta and Fir Li. ...
The Gaelic name for the Munro clan is Rothach or Rothich and the motto is "Dread God," a term which might more aptly be described as "Stand in awe of God." The battle shout of the clan is "Caisteal Foulis'n a theine," wich translates: "Foulis Castle in flames," a call designed to rouse to arms all members of the clan. It evidently was meant to rouse the clansmen to fury at the mere prospect, not from a burning of the original castle. This castle, described in old documents as "the eagle's nest,: was accidently burned down in 1750 after having been garrisoned for the government and suffering at the hands of the Jacobites in two uprisings.

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.
