59801	John's middle name is seen interchangeably as Langdon and Langston. He was born in Liverpool, England when his mother accompanied his father on one of his sailing ships. John served as a private in the Florida Seminole War in 1836. He was a Lieutenant during the Mexican War in 1848 but was not called to active duty. Ref 1 says that John Langdon Grayson had two sons named Nathaniel, each by a different wife, Sarah Elizabeth. There is no evidence that John was married a second time and it has been concluded that "Sarah Elizabeth" is the same person as Jane Amelia Elizabeth Hale, John's first wife. Also, there was only one son named Nathaniel.

59833	Johnson was born before 1746. Estimate: This birth date is an estimate based on the birth dates of nearest relatives or contemporaries, or based on other clues such as christening date, marriage date, birth order, etc.	Monroe, Johnson (I699)
59834	Johnson witnessed the deed for a sale of land in Lunenburg County, Virginia in 1767. On 14 May 1778, he purchased 200 acres in Lunenburg County and on 12 Jun 1783, he and his wife sold 75 acres of this land. There is no record of the sale of the other 125 acres. It is not known where Johnson was between 1783 when he disapeared from Lunenburg County, Virginia and 1789 when he appeared in Greenville County, South Carolina. In 1789, Johnson bought 290 acres in Greenville County, South Carolina where his in-laws (Hoopers) had gone. When he sold this land in 1794, the deed says "Johnson Monroe of Pendleton County", Kentucky. Johnson (or John) is listed on the 1790 census of Greenville County, South Carolina. His household consisted of one son over 16, three sons under 16, three daughters and a wife. This doesn't quite match the family we have listed here, which should have been three sons under 16, two daughters and a wife. Johnson appears on the tax lists in Barren county, Kentucky in 1799 so apparently he lived in Pendleton county from 1794 to 1799. Either Johnson or his son, Johnson, Jr. was the first Methodist minister at Methodist Church near Monmouth Cave, Kentucky. Johnson's wife, Amelia died after 1830. She was the daughter of Obediah Hooper. The identy of Johnson's father is not certain. Some references say his father may be William of Lunenburg Co., Virginia [1555] and at least one reference says his father was named David. The Randy Scott Monroe reference says Johnson was the son of John Monroe (b. 1714, d. 1790), but that may have been another person named Johnson Monroe. There is some confusion in this area. The Carolyn Monroe reference says that Johnson's father was struck by a falling tree limb and killed before Johnson was born. The reference says that Johnson was named for his father. The following is from the Donald Patrick Monroe reference and was written by Col. Paul B. Monroe, Jr., USAF (Ret.): "Johnson Monroe was a native Virginian who tried South Carolina first, before settling west of Cave City, Kentucky (ca. 1800). His ancestry probably dates back to Andrew Monroe (d. 1668) whose wife, Elizabeth Alexander, came to America in the mid 17th Century. Andrew's father might have been David Monroe ( b. ca. 1600) from Scotland. Johnson Monroe's parents might have been William Monroe and Mary Smith from Halifax County, Virginia and his wife's parents were Obediah and Massalva Hooper, he being a Revolutionary War veteran who established the Daughters of the American Revolution."

In 1649, he was deposed along with most of the other members of the Presbytery of Caithness for "compliance" with Montrose. John petioned the Synod on 6 Aug 1656, "to get his mouth open that he might assist his son in preaching." He was restored to his charge. He owned land of Tubeg but transferred that property to his son, David, in 1665. References: (1) "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W.

59840	Jonas appeared in Surry about March 1792, moved from Surry about 1796 and in 1799 was living in Bridgewater, New York (Vermont?). His first wife, Cynthia, was from Surry, New Hampshire. His second wife, Hannah, was from Surry or possibly Marlboro, New Hampshire. ******** The following is from the Spencer reference: «i»http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyoneida/ which lists names in a Bridgewater Cemetery called Benham : ... Monroe, James (might be Jonas) died Feb. 28, 1834 age 64 yrs 1 mo (stone broken) ... 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)... Jonas (2) Munroe (Philip 1) was here m. 1792; removed from Surry about 1796, and in 1799 was living at Bridgewater, NY (not Vt as indicated).

59845	Jonas was a lieutenant in the United States dragoons, he resigned his commission in 1807, but when the war of 1812 broke out, he was commissioned as a lieutenant in the infantry. He was engaged in the recruiting service for a short time. He was affectionately known to thousands as "Uncle Jonas". He kept the Monroe Tavern until the building of the railroad abolished stage-coaches and brought an end to the famous hostelries that had lined the coach routes. Because Lexington was on the main thoroughfares from New Hampshire to Boston, the Munroe Tavern was always crowded with guests, while its barn and the sheds that used to join it have often sheltered a hundred horses. He drowned while bathing at Somerville, Massachusetts. References: (1) Clan Munro library - "History and Genealogy of the Lexington, Massachusetts Munroes", 2nd edition, by R. S.
