( The Munson Line).
(I) Thomas Munson, the immigrant an- cestor, was born in England, about 1612, and first appears in this country in 1637 as a resident of Hartford, who performed military service in the Pequot war, 1637. From that time he has a long and honorable record for civil and military service in the colonies of Hartford and New Haven. As a reward for his services in the Pequot war. he with other soldiers was allotted a large tract of land from the Soldiers' Field which had been set aside by the town for that purpose. This grant, which was one hundred acres, was not confirmed by the general court until May 13. 1673. His house-lot, comprising two and one- half acres. stood on the east side of the pres- ent High street, opposite the head of Wal- nut. There was a house on this ground in February. 1641. which he had doubtless built himself. Previous to this date he had sold the place, and is mentioned in the records as having sold his allotment in the Soldiers' Field and as forfeiting other land on the east and west sides of the Connecticut river by removal. Before February, 1610, he had re- moved with other settlers to the neighboring settlement of Quinnipiac. June 4. 1639. "A Fundamental Agreement" was signed by sixty-three persons who had invested in the common property of the new town, providing that church members only should be free bur- gesses and have the elective franchise. Tho- mas Munson, as a prospective planter, was the sixth to sign the Agreement. April 3. 1640, his name appeared on the records at a "Court" held on that date. june 11th of the same year, he was made freeman. He
was a member of the First Church as early as 1640 and had land granted him in the same year. In 1642 he was chosen ser- geant of the train band, which title he held for nineteen years. In 1044 his name appears on a list of 182 inhabitants who took the oath of fidelity. During the next ten years his name appears frequently on the records, from which it is evident that he served the' town in various capacities. He was placed on com- mittees to treat with the Indians, to appraise estates, and being a carpenter by trade, was given numerous building contracts. In 1655 he became the leader in the movement of some of the townsmen. begun in 1651, to found a new commonwealth at Delaware Bay, but after several years' agitation the affair was given up, and he remained in New Ha- ven. In 1657 he was chosen selectman. In 1659, when a colony school was started in New Haven, he was on a committee of four who were appointed to provide a house for the schoolmaster and a schoolhouse. April 29. 1661, he was made ensign. June 6, 1662, he was one of the deputies for the town court. and May 27, a deputy for the general court. After the union of New Haven colony with that of Hartford ( 166;), he was chosen dep- uty for the general assembly in Hartford. also in 1666 and 1660, and for every succeeding year up to 1683. In 1664 he was made iieu- tenant of the military company. August 7. 1673. he was one of a committee of six called the Grand Committee, appointed by the sen- eral assembly for the defense and safety of the colony against the Dutch. During King Philip's War, 1676, he saw active service. and September 19, 1675. was in command of the New Haven forces which marched to North- field. December 20 of same year he was made first commissary, and February 25 1676, he was appointed captain, and May 15, when it was decided by the court of elections that a standing army should be raised, he was chosen captain for New Haven county. In 16,8-70- So-St-82-83 he was selectman. or townsman, besides serving the town in various minor ca- pacities. He married Joanna born about 1610, died December 13, 16-8. He died May 7, 1685, and was buried on The Green: his monument may still be seen in the Grove street burial ground. Children : Elizabeth : Samuel, mentioned below: Hannah, baptized June II. 1648.

Samuel Munson was made a freeman of New Haven in 1667, and in 1670 was one of the founders of the new plantation of Wall- ingford. Connecticut. He signed the agree- ment relative to the founding of the same, and was assigned one of the original house- lots in the new town, besides a river or farmi lot.

The name Munroe is an an-
MUNROE cient Scotch clan name. and has been variously spelt. "Monrow," "Munrow." "Munroe" and "Mon- roe."
(I) Donald Munroe, founder of the ancient House of Fowlis, was the son of O'Cathan. an Irish chief, and Prince of Fermanagh. He is supposed to have flourished towards the latter end of the reign of Malcolm II. King of Scots, to whom he rendered material aid in his contests with the Danish invaders of the country. For the service: thus rendered. Donald received from the hands of his grate- ful sovereign the lands between Dingwall and the river Aneron, or Alness water. The lands received the name of "Fearann-Dembnuill." anglicized Ferindonald, that is. "Donald's land." A portion of them was subsequently erected into a barony called the Barony of Fowlis. Donald is supposed to have died about 1053. and to have been succeeded by his son, George Munroe, through whom the family line continues.
(II) George, son of Donald Munroe or Georgius de Munroe, is said to have assisted Malcolm HI, "Ceann Mor." in his conten- tions with Macbeth for the crown of Scotland. between 1054 and 1057. According to tra- dition he lived to an advanced age and died about HOI, leaving a son. Hugh Munroe.
(Il)'Hugh, son of George Munroe, is the first of the family to be designated "Baron of Fowlis." That barony has ever since formed the title and been the chief residence of the head of the house. which for nearly eight hundred years has existed in uninterrupted descent in the male line. a fact said to be un- exampled in the annals of Scotland or Eng- land, and only paralleled in the succession of the Lords Kingsale. Premier Barons of Ire- land. Hugh is said to have increased the family estates by the acquisition of the lands of Logie-Wester and Findon, County of Ross, of which the Earls of Ross were at that time
1700
CONNECTICUT
the superiors. He died about 1126, and was succeeded by his son. Robert.
(IV) Robert, son of Hugh Munroe, sec- ond baron of Fowlis, was a loyal subject of David I and Malcolm IV of Scotland. Ac- cording to the family tradition he married Agnes, daughter of Angus Mor Macdonald IV, of the Isles, by a daughter of Sir Colin Campbell, of Glenurchy. This, however, can- not be true, from the fact that Angus Mor. who lived between 1255 and 1300, was not born in Robert's time, or for a century after, his death having occurred in the latter year. Robert died in 1164, and was interred in the Chanonry of Ross, which continued there- after to be the family burying place for more than four hundred years. He married and had among other children a son, Donald.
(V) Donald (2), son of Robert Munroe, third baron of the name, is said to have built the old Tower of Fowlis as early as 1154, during the life of his father. He is said to have served under William the Lion. when the latter came to suppress the lawlessness and rebellion which prevailed in Scotland, in 1179, and to have rendered him material as- sistance at that time. He married and had the following children: Robert. his heir and successor ; David. from whom it is alleged the family of Mackays. or "Mac Dhaibhidhs," at one time in Tarradale, were descended: Al- lan, progenitor of the Mae Allans of Ferin- donald. Donald died in 1192 at his Tower of Fowlis. and was buried in the Cathedral Church of Chanonry. where the bishops of Ross had their Episcopal seat from prior to 1130 until the Reformation.
(VI) Robert (2), son of Donald (2) Mun- roe, fourth baron of the name. married, be- tween 1194 and 1214. a daughter of Hugh Freskyn de Moravia. He died in 1239. and was buried at the Chanonry of Ross. leaving among others a son George, who succeeded him. Robert is said to have married a daugli- ter of the Earl of Sutherland.
(VII) George (21. son of Robert (2) Munroe, was the fifth baron of the name. and the first of the family of whom there is any authentic historical record. He wit- nessed a charter by William Earl, of Suther- land, to the Archdeacon of Morav. dated 1232-37, and had his Ross-shire lands con- firmed to him by a charter from Alexander II before 1249. He died about 1260. and was succeeded by his son. Robert Munroe.
(VIII) Robert (3). son of George (2) Munroe, was the sixth baron and was placed under the guardianship of the earls of Ross and Sutherland until he attained his ma- jority in 1282. After 1200 Robert joined the
party of Bruce, and continued steadfast in his support throughout the varying fortunes of that family. When quite advanced in years, he raised his clan, and took part in the memorable battle of Bannockburn. Here his eldest and apparently only son was slain, along with many more of his followers. Robert lived for nine years after his return home, and died in 1323.
(IX) George (3), son of Robert (3) Mun- roe, who fell at Bannockburn, had married a year before his death a daughter of the Earl of Sutherland, and had children as follows : George, who succeeded his grandfather ; John.
(X) George (4), son of George (3) Mun- roe. and the seventh baron was a steadfast supporter of the Bruce dynasty, and a firm upholder of the interests of his native coun- try. He was killed at the battle of Halidon Hill. in 1333, while fighting bravely at the head of his clan. He married a daughter of Hugh, Earl of Ross, and had a son, Robert, who succeeded him.
(XI) Robert (4). son of George (4) Mun- roe, the eighth baron. succeeded his father when he was a mere child. During his min- ority. his estates were carefully managed by his Uncle John, who during his guardianship redeemed portions of the ancestral posses- sions which had been mortgaged by his an- cestors. He is mentioned in various charters. dated 1341-62-68-72. He married (first) Jean, daughter of Hugh Ross I, of Bal- nagowan, on record in 1350 and 1366. by his wife. Margaret Barclay, niece of Queen Eu- phemia, the second wife of Robert II. King of Scotland. By her he had one son. Hugh, his heir and successor. He married ( second!) Grace, daughter of Sir Adam Forrester, of Corstorphine. Children : Thomas : John. who is mentioned in a charter dated July 22, 1426: John, of whom nothing is known. Rob- ert Munroe was killed in a clan fight in 1369. ( XII ) Hugh (2), son of Robert (1) Man- roe, was the ninth baron. He obtained sev- eral charters. dared 1369-70-94. He married ( first) Isabella, daughter of John Keith, sec- ond son of Sir Edward Keith, great mare-chal of Scotland, by his wife, Mariotta. daughter of Sir Reginald Cheyne, of Inverugie. They had one son. George, the heir and successor. He married ( second) Margaret, daughter of Nicholas (son of Kenneth. fourth Earl of Sutherland, and brother of William. the fifth Earl) by his wife Mary. daughter of Regin- ald le Cheyne and Mary. Lady of Duffus. They had the following children : John. Janet. Elizabeth. Hugh Munroe died in 1425.
