56516	In 1816 when Jay was ten, his family moved from Surry, New Hampshire to Hamilton, New York. This was the year that a volcanic eruption in Indonesia caused northern New England to have no summer. After finishing the local school at Hamilton, Jay was apprenticed to a stonemason, but when he turned twenty in 1826, he took off for the west. He traveled on the newly completed Erie Canal to Buffalo, New York where he continued on by lake schooner to Detroit, Michigan. He supported himself at first as a stonemason, but his ability and force of character were soon discovered and his services were solicited for more adventurous and ambitious employment. Mr. Campeau engaged him to go with a part of his men on a circuit of the lakes in the interest of his fir trade. After his return he passed two years in the employ of Mr. Campeau and General Cass in locating lands for incoming settlers. After a trip to his old home in New York, he returned to Michigan and settled at Prairie Ronde in 1830. The greater part of his time was occupied in traveling over the territory of Michigan locating lands for others. He was thrifty and frugal and applied his commissions in the purchase of lands for himself. His wandering showed him much of the territory in its state of primeval wilderness. He was the first white man to pass over the site where South Haven now stands. In 1833 he built the first house within the limits of the present city. It was occupied by the Thomas family who recorded the first birth and death in the history of South Haven. Jay made a plat of the village which was embraced in Hannah's plat of 1852, and has been a part of every one that has been made since. Along with other wise provisions, the plan required the reservation of a lot for a schoolhouse. In 1835, in association with Charles U. Cross, he laid out a road between South Haven and Paw Paw, and what remains of that highway now is still known as the Munroe road. He had previously laid out a road between South Haven and Prairie Ronde. Jay married Fanny Rawson on 10 Sep 1836. For some months after thir marriage, they boarded in Kalamazoo. In 1837 they settled on the land owned by Jay in Lawrence township. There he worked on and improved his farm of 900 acres. He also continued to act as land agent, and in time he became one of the most extensive landholders in that part of the country. At one time he possesed 80 eighty-acre tracts, or 6,400 acres in all, an expanse equal to ten square miles. Under the territorial government of Michigan, Jay was appointed a judge, and from then to the end of his life he was always known as Judge Monroe. He was a man of benign disposition, his administration of the law always tempered justice with mercy. He was a friend and adviser of the early settlers. He served as commissioner of the poor in Van Buren County for more than twenty-five years. He was earnest in his interest and active in his support of all public undertakings for the good of the state. He helped to organize the State Agricultural Society, and was one of the founders of the Van Buren County Pioneers' Society. To the end of his life, he was one of the Pioneers' Society's most active members. In politics he was a life-long Democrat. In spiritual matters he was a firm believer in the Christian religion, but not connected by membership with any church organization. Jay died in South Haven soon after returning from a visit to the Centennial Expositon in Philadelphia. Fanny, Jay's wife, was universally beloved throughout the city of South Haven. She raised nine children on a farm which was remote from other human dwellings. The nearest neighbor was about a mile distant. She did all the writing and figuring required by her husband's business, including his land agency. Because the home was located in about the center of the county, it became a sort of halfway house for strangers and travelers. There were almost always extra persons to provide for with meals and lodging. After the death of her husband, Fanny stayed with her daughter Eunice in South Haven. She died at the age of 92.

56518	In 1820, John applied for a pension for his Revolutionary War service. In his declaration at the time he stated that he served as a private. Other papers contain records of a Corporal John Monroe and a Sergeant John Munroe, so there must have been several people of the same name at that time. His declaration reads: "District of Kentucky, October 9, 1820 on this day personally apeared John Monroe in the county court of Cumberland County, Kentucky, (the said court being a court of record, created by statutes of Kentucky and proceedings according to the rules of the common law) which said Monroe is aged about 75 years and a residenter in the county of Cumberland, and within the jurisdiction of the courts aforesaid. Who being first duly sworn according to the law doth upon his said oath in the court aforesaid oath declaire that he was a soldier in the Revolutionary War of the United States, that he enlisted in the fifth Virginia Regiment in the Continental Establishment in Captain Richard Barnets Company for the term of two years and that he served in the said regiment and ompnay the whole term of his enlistment in the said continental service of the United States of America and that he enlisted in the said regiment and company 6th Feb. 1776. That upon the expiration of the aforesaid term of his enlistment which term he served faithfully, he again enlisted in the same regiment under Captain Harry Fonteroy for the term of 3 years and served the whole term of his said second enlistment faithfully. He states further on oath that he has drawn from the United States under the pension law of Congress of the 18th of March 1818 and upon pension Certificate #15343 the sum of $166.25 and that he makes the foregoing and subsequent declaration in order to obtain the provision made by the acts of Congress of the 18th of March 1818 and the first of May 1820 I do solemly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th da of March one thousand eight hundred and eighteen and that I have not since that time by gift sale or in any manner disposed of my property of any part thereof, with intent thereby so to deminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of Congress entitled "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and Naval service of the United States in the Rev. War passed the 18th day of March 1818, and that I have not nor has any person for me, any property, securities contracts or debts due me. This declaration further states on oath, that by occupation he is a planter, or daily laborer, and that he is weak sickly and much emaciated, so that he is very illy able to work, he states that the number of his family is six persons to wit, an aged wife, three daughters and two sons. The name of his wife Rachel, His eldest daughter is named Fanny aged about 30, his second daughter is named Mary aged 23 years, and his third daughter is named Betsey aged 18 years, his eldest son is Andrew about 21 and his other son named John about 16 years old. He states farther upon oath that excepting his necessary wearing apparel, he has no other property, and therefore a schedule would be unnessary this however he subscribes as the only report and statement which he can make thereon. Sworn to and declared in open court on the ninth day of October 1820." This declaration was signed on 14 Oct 1820 in the town of Burkesville, Kentucky. Other records show that John enlisted on 5 Feb 1776 in Captain Henry Fauntleroy's Company of the 5th Virginia Regiment. He signed for two years at $6.75 per month. He was wounded in action on 4 Oct 1777. In 1799, John and Rachel were living in Amherst County, Virginia. They lived there until about 1803. He was a cousin of President James Monroe. John received a grant of land in Tennessee, but in traveling over the mountains in unsetteled territory to claim it, he got lost and ended up in Kentucky. He liked Kentucky so well that he never attempted to locate his grant in Tennessee. He lived in different places in Kentucky, but spent his latter years in Cumberland County. On 14 Dec 1839, John's widow made application before the Justice of Peace in Cumberland County, Kentucky for widow's pension. The application states that John had died on 22 Mar 1835, that they had married 8 Apr 1784 at Roundhill Church in Westmoreland County, Virginia, and that John had been receiving $8 per month since 1818. She stated that by reason of age (80), and bodily infirmity that she was unable to attend at the court house of Cumberland County, twelve or thirteen miles away. Rachel (maiden name unknown) signed the declaration by making her mark. Another document says that Rachel received $80 per year beginning on 4 Mar 1843. In about 1937, some markers were unveiled at the Old Mulkey Meeting House State Park in Monroe County, Kentucky in memory of some Revolutionary War Soldiers. One of them was John Monroe. His great granddaughter, Miss Effa White, spoke at the ceremony.

56519	In 1829, Henry's parents moved from Bristol, Rhode Island to Columbia Flats (later renamed Sylvania), Pennsylvania. Henry worked as a teacher before he was married, but was a farmer for most of his life. He was elected treasurer of Tioga County, Pennsylvania in 1861. He also served as a member of the school board and was elected Justice of the Peace three times. He belonged to the Episcopal Church. In 1864, he carried $50,000 in a stachel to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to pay some Civil War soldiers. References: (1) "History and Genealogy of the Lexington, Mass. Munroes" by R. S.

56520	In 1829, James was a minor child of Polly McGary. On 2 Nov 1829 there is an action in the Vanderburgh County Probate Court assigning Robert McEvans as James' guardian. Polly McGary and Robert McEvans had married 7 Sep 1826. The conjecture is that James was the son of Polly and an unknown Monroe who died. Polly subsequently married a McGary and then Robert McEvans.

56536	In 1847, Ralph helped a friend, William Andrews, to develop a wood carving machine and after about one year, the friend threw in the towel and told Ralph to help himself to what tools he wanted, in lieu of better pay. During this episode, he also worked in his spare time with two German machinists named Newman. they were experts in developing and perfecting intricate patterns, so Ralph gained much knowledge from these men. At one point, Ralph visited his grandfather in Concord, Massachusets, and visited the old pencil shop of William Munroe which was still in operation. Also during this visit, he met the daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Ellen. She was credited with bringing the game of croquet from England to the US. In Concord, Ralph also became acquainted with the Alcotts, Frank Sanborn, the Barretts, William W. Weildon, Horace Mann, the Hosmers and others. Across the way from his grandfather lived Judge Rockwood Hoar, who later became Attorney General under Grant. Shortly after the beginning of the American Civil War, Ralph went to boarding school at the Eagleswood Military Academy. The school was located about a mile and a half west of Perth Amoby on the Raritan River. When his parents moved to Staten Island, he was sent to a private school on New York Avenue, opposite St. John's Church. The school was run by Isaac Holden. In 1875, Ralph became engaged in a business venture with the Elmira Seamless Keg Company. In 1888, Ralph became a permanent resident of Cocoanut Grove, Florida. He was one of the early settlers of that place and lived there until his death. From Nov 1889 to Jun 1891, he tried various experiments with sponge culture. He tried to persuade the state legislature to set aside a small area to be reserved for experiments, but the bill was not passed. Ralph was well known for his superior skill at designing sail boats. He designed and built many boats for his friends and for many well known people of his day. He was the originator of the Sharpie sail boat. Many other interesting facts about Ralph can be found in his book, "The Commodore's Story" printed in 1930. References: (1) "History and Genealogy of the Lexington, Mass. Munroes", 2nd ed. by R. S.
