83013	The "Boston Directory" of 1828 shows Abel Munroe as a provisions dealer at 240 Hanover Street. In 1830 he appears jointly, in provisions with with William Munroe. He seems to have prospered in business for in 1839 a deed calls him "Gentleman." By 1839 he was designating himself as Abel B. Munroe. On 31 Mar 1831 he bought land on Tileston Street and lived there for over twenty years, when he moved to North Bennett Street, between Salem and Short (not Wiggin) Streets. He owned considerable property in this area and there are numerous deeds in his name at the Suffolk County Registry. Edward G. Porter in his "Rambles in Old Boston" refers to him as a "wealthy citizen who held many public offices." Abel was married three times. His first wife is thought to have been Mary Wadley of Keene, New Hampshire, the daughter of Jonathan E. Wadley of Albany, New York. According to S. G. Griffen's "History of Keene", Jonathan was the proprietor of the Old Ralston Tavern in Keene from 1817 to 1823. His second wife was Deborah C. (possibly Johnson?), who died "by accident" at 37 North Bennett Street. Her death record gives her mother's name as Lucy, born at Scituate, Massachusetts. His third wife was Mrs. Madeline Augusta Sanchez of Boston, age 35, daughter of William and Mary Ferrar. She was the widow of Manual Sanchez, a Cuban cigar trader, and she had one son named Robert. It is not known which of his wives was the mother of his children. Able died at 33 North Bennett Street. ******** «i»Detail in Estelle Wait's "The Finding of Abel Munroe" NEHGR Vol126 p. 245. Apparently his death record indicates he was born at Keene, son of Abel Muroe born at Srewbury, N.H. (sic) and Bethenia, born at Derry, NH. (Mass.

83014	The "Boston Directory" of 1830 shows Jotham as a waterman living on Battery Street. Later he lived on N. Bennett, Hanover & Tileston Streets until in 1843 he settled on Charter. After a few years as a waterman, he was employed in the provisions business. In 1840 he was a dealer in wood and coal at Bartlett's Wharf. In 1848-49 he became "alien commissioner" at 59 Long Wharf, a position he held until he died of "ship fever" on 11 Feb 1858. In Mar 1853, the administration of the estate of Jotham B. Munroe, "Late Supt. of Alien Passengers," was granted to James Munroe of Boston, provisions dealer. The "Boston Directory" of 1853 shows Mrs. Jotham B. Munroe at 6 Charter Street and she continues to be listed in Directories (sometimes as Harriet T. Munroe, widow) at various addresses for over twenty years. From 1873 to 1875, she lived with her sister-in-law, James Munroe's widow, at 686 Shawmut Ave. In 1876 they were both at 20 Madison Street and Harriet died there on 15 Feb 1881. Her death record gives her parents as Israel and Sarah Hadley, both born in Concord, Massachusetts.

83021	The 1850 census shows John living in Taladega County, Alabama (house number 532) and working as a tailor. In the 1860 census, he and his family were living near Sylacauga, Taladega County, Alabama. He was still a tailor with real property worth $700 and personal property worth $700. The Louisiana Masonic Grand lodge had John listed as a farmer. On 12 Aug 1981, Elbra A. Monroe said that John Anthony was living in North Carolina when Yankees came through and burned and killed his cattle, and knocked down fences. He then packed up and moved away. He said he got this information from a book by Joanne Coker Graves. He may have meant Alabama because he was living there from at least 1844 to 1860. On 1 Jan 1863, John enlisted at Coosa County, Alabama and was assigned to Company B, 2nd Battalion of Hilliard's Legion. On 2 Jul 1863, he became ill and was sent to the hospital in Chattanooga. He and Sara lived in Alabama until about 1865 when they moved to Mississippi for a short time and then settled in Louisiana, where he continued working as a tailor. He also was a farmer and planter, and for a number of years served as a local minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church. On 8 Nov 1873, at the fourth Quarterly Conference held at Liberty Grove Church, J. A. Monroe was duely recommended by the Conference for Elders Orders. On 29 Dec 1873, he signed the following statement: "I firmly believe in the doctrines and discipline of the M.E.C. South and will conform to her rules in all my Ministrations." He later became a local minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The following constitutes part of John's religious record: 1874: Elected elder but not ordained 1875: Elder 1877: Natchitoches Circuit 1879: Allowance 300 receipts 37.75 1880: Many Circuit, Allowance 140 receipts 22.50 1881: Allowance 150 receipts 25 1885: converted R.

83041	The Beechers came from Kent, England in 1638, with a wealthy group of merchants and clergy from the London area, on the "Hector."

John Beecher, one of the founders, was left in a small cabin to guard the site with 6 other men several of whome lke he did not survive, due to improper shelter. Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA	Beecher, John (I55720)
83042	The birth and christening records of William Johnson Munro has not yet been located. History directs that he was born in the city of Montreal due to the following proven facts: (1) William's mother, Mary Brower, with her other seven children, escaped to Fort St. John via Lake Champlain and Crown Point in 1778. (2) Her husband, Captain John Munro, met her at Fort St. John. (3) John was dispatched to Montreal to find housing there for Loyalist families and also took Mary and the children with him. (4) Mary and the children stayed in Montreal until 1783 when John went to England to help plead for compensation for lands lost by Loyalists in New York. (5) William was probably christened by the Regimental Chaplain as he was a personal friend, although some of these records have been lost. William was named after the celebrated General Johnson of the British Army, a much esteemed comrade in arms of his father, John Munro. He grew up on the Munro land grants at Matilda, near Morrisburg, Ontario. He signed on with the North West Fur Company and eventually settled in Bas-caraquet, New Brunswick in 1807, where he received a land grant as a Loyalist son. William spent eight years in the service of the Northwest Fur Company, enlisting in about 1798 for an eight year indenture. He spent most of this time in the Grand Portage, Fort William Area, but mad voyages to other outposts from time to time. In 1808 William completed his indenture to the North West Company. Disappointed at the inadequate wages offered for a "factor" or permanent post with The Company, he left western Canada to take up a merchandising offer made by his cousin, Hugh Munro, of St. Peter (Bathurst) New Brunswick. Eventually he settled on a site at Bas Caraquett on the Bay of Chaleur, opposite the Colony of New Carlisle-Paspebiac. He built a Trading Post-Store where he dealt in furs and provisioned the French fisherman and bought their salted fish for shipping by Hugh Munro and Sherar ships. His long experience in the western lands stood him in good stead and certainly provided him with the language skills to deal also with the French speaking fishermen who populated the area. William may have become an agent for the Hudson Bay Company both on the New Carlisle side of the bay and on the New Brunswick side at Carequete. Hudson Bay Company agents held positions of considerable importance and the agent occupied a central influence in many respects in the community. Although he died early and in debt, if he had been able to maintain his business until it began to show a profit he would undoubtedly have established a very lucerative post. Munro Island in the Shippigan area still bears William Munro's name although title went out of the family when his son Thomas Brock Munro sold the property.
