Can't help with specifics, but . . . Moved back and forth from where to where? Perhaps immigration/border crossing records will help.

This info is correct as for Richard and Melvina. I am unsure of the Jacob & Ellen connection but thank you, I will continue looking. Thank you Doug.

It does help other researchers to know if the lookup information is correct. Someone may come along a year from know researching the same family and verifying the lookup as your ancestry may help them as well.

Lots of luck in your research.

I am not sure, but both of my father's siblings were born in British Columbia and the border crossing fom there in 1934 shows that my natural father was born in Claima Spokane, Saskatchewan. I have tried to find such a place, but have decided that he was probably born in Spokane, WA as was I.

Yes, this is my family. I replied directly to Joyful. I am unfamiliar with the protocals for posting replies. I thought that I was not supposed to rep;y on the board to thank people for their help. I apologise for this error and will answer all posts in the future. Respectfully Doug Skinner.

Hi, Your post of 1 May does have replies where a kind soul did a look up for you. Is this information not your family? It would less confusing if you could reply to the post of 1 May first.

1119monroe — 2012-05-12 14:33:26Z

Richard P. Monroe was born in Canada in abt 1837 and his family appears to have moved back and forth. Does anyone have any idea about him as I can't find much info in the US and nothing in Canada.

Re: Johnson Monroe m. Amelia Hooper, VA>SC>KY 1790

torrstein — 2012-05-12 00:13:14Z

His father was also named Johnson, killed by a tree, I believe before Johnson was born. His mother was named (I think) Rossanah? His father Johnson was the brother of Spense Monroe who married Eliza Jones, who was the father of the 5th president James Monroe.

Hello, Donna...

I don't know if you are still searching this family but John and Sara were my gggrandparents. John's father was Albert Monroe and I have small amount of info. on this family I would be happy to share. I descend through John's daughter Hattie Mae, b 20 March, 1864 in California. I'd love to hear from you.

Re: Southern Illinois Monroe

HA! That would help huh? My GGM was born in 1901, and it was through her line that my relatives all claim the Native link to be... through the Wolf(e) branch. Monroe, Sr was born 1898. Monroe, Jr. was born 1927.

Re: Southern Illinois Monroe

"the right time period" What is the time frame you have not included any dates.

Thanks.

Re: Southern Illinois Monroe

kbushue1 — 2012-05-10 21:31:07Z

Well I've been having problems running into dead ends by being too specific, so I was trying to take a more broad approach, hoping that someone would get kicked up in the dust. But my Grandfather is Herschel Allen Monroe, Jr from Fairfield, IL. My Grandmother is Violet Ellen Shelby from Golden Gate, IL. My GGf, Herschel Allen Monroe, Sr., and his wife Mollie Wolf(e) both live in Fairfield. I was just hoping to find some reference somewhere to their being Native Americans passing through that area in the right time period to have intermixed with my tree. I know they passed through Southern Illinois on the Trail of Tears but the movement was much lower in the state. We all carry Native American traits (the shovel teeth, occipital bun, wide spaced toes) and I'm going to do a DNA test, but until Ancestry gets to me on the list, I'm still stuck searching. My GF told stories of our Cherokee heritage, and I remember one story where he spoke of one of his elder relatives standing beneath a tree in back yard of their Fairfield farm house for days on end conversing with the spirits.

Re: Southern Illinois Monroe

jasche — 2012-05-10 21:26:09Z

Hi,

Please can you include more information? What is your grandfather's name? Where did he live and when? Please include any other identifying data (name of spouse, etc) that will help in the search.

Southern Illinois Monroe

kbushue1 — 2012-05-10 21:21:54Z

I've been searching for 5 years to no avail to trace my family to some rumored Cherokee's in Southern Illinois. If anyone has any idea, please please please let me know. My Grandfather told us all of our Cherokee heritage, but he has since passed and no one can remember how the line went. I just want to trace the line and be sure which clan we came from, so I can learn more about them. My family names consist of Wolf(e), Monroe, Shelby and Chapman.

Having seen Farriers in the Monroe household in 1920, and the two above families being together in 1880, I followed the Ferrier's forward...

Then searched the Washington Digital Archives For a Death record for Mary Ferrier thinking she might be Melvina "Deweese" Monroe's sister:

Denrece could EASILY be a 'w' mistranscribed as 'nr' thus Dewece

So I looked for Jacob & Ellen Deweese with daughters Melvina and Mary, and believe this is the family. My guess would be that Hortensia is Melvina. No proof, but could be.

Melvina Deweese and Richard Monroe

1119monroe — 2012-04-30 16:08:31Z

I am looking for any information regarding Richard and Melvina Monroe. My maternal grandmother was Margaret Melvina Monroe dob 15 Feb 1915 or 16. Her brother was Richard Melvin Monroe dob 23 Dec 1918. Robert Harrison Monroe was their father dob 1 or 2 May 1882 or 83 or 84. His father was Richard Monroe and his mother was Melvina Deweese???. I can not finf=d anything about them here. The Deweese name sounds familiar but I have know known living relatives that I know of to ask. I lost the Family Bible in 1983. Supposedly there was a published book on or Family which included my grandmother and her siblings but I have never seen it. My mother told m about it in the early sixties and that there was a copy with a minister in Spokane WA where I was born and lived at at the time. I approached him(name unknown) and he would not show me.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Respectfully submitted. Douglas Skinner

My maternal grandmother was Margaret Melvina Monroe dob 15 Feb 1915 and she had several brothers. George William dob 15 Jan 1912, Robert Rolland dob 12 Oct 1913 and Richard Melvin dob 23 Jan 1918. Does anyone have any information regarding Rose Pollock might be or which Monroe son was nicknamed Buddy? Respectfully submitted, Doug Skinner

I think you have the same pictures I do. I also have a rather poor copy of a group photo that looks like something out of the Grapes of Wrath. My mother appears to be about 3 in the picture, so that would put it around 1920. I do not think I ever met John Wallace, but I certainly remember hearing Uncle Lester and Uncle Carl talk about him.

Re: James Charles Monroe & Adaline Amanda Warner

ShellyH4 — 2012-04-10 20:57:05Z

Do either of you know whether any of the direct MALE descendants of your Monroe ancestor (Monroe father to Monroe son to Monroe son to Monroe son) has done any DNA testing? I had also heard from my grandmother that she was related to President Monroe. DNA testing and history appear to say otherwise. Instead, we've determined that our Monroe ancestors are descendants of the Monroe's who were banished to the Americas by Cromwell in the 1650s. Our particular line has a mutation that would appear to be a unique line and I'm hoping to find other Monroes with that same mutation. Our group is most likely originally from CT then moved to PA to NY (and back and forth over the state line) before moving to Bureau County, IL.

Re: James Charles Monroe & Adaline Amanda Warner

Hi Matt,
My grandmother's grandparents were James Monroe and Adaline Head. I know where they are buried on Ottawa Avenue. My mother would often stop at this grave. I do not know the name of my grandmother's mother (who would be a child of these two). I do know that her last name was Monroe. I was told that these people were related to President Monroe. Also, Marilyn Monroe's mother's maiden name just happened to be Monroe. A studio made her famous name up, however, she was actually related to Monroes. My mother told me that she read somewhere that Marilyn was a grand niece of President Monroe. So, we often wondered if we were related to her. Please contact me if you wish at jane.nuccio@live.com. I am also under Jane Nuccio on facebook and live in Ottawa.

Need info on GEORGE WASHINGTON MONROE b. 1821 in VA

cjm5420 — 2012-03-22 16:11:54Z

I have hit a brick wall on this one! My ggg grandfather was George Washington Monroe b: 1821 in VA, d: 1899 in IN. He was married to Sarah Ann Smith (b:1824 OH d: 1909 IN)-they were married in Fayette Co, Ohio in 1844. (Sarah's parents were George Smith & Elizabeth "Betty" Batten.) I know from census records that George was already in Ohio by the 1850s, and by the 1870s the family moved to Indiana (Haddon Twnship, Sullivan Co.). George & Sarah had 10 children, but I only know of 8 of them. They are: John J. b:1845, James M. b:1847, George S. b:1849/50, Hugh b:1853, Joseph C. b:1856, Ann M. b:1859, Benjamin F. b:1862, and Richard S. "Dick" b:1866. All of the children were born in Hamilton, Butler Co, Ohio. What I am trying to find out is WHO ARE GEORGE WASHINGTON MONROE'S PARENTS?? I know from census records that they were both born in VIRGINIA, the same as George, but I can't find any records connecting him to anyone. PLEASE HELP, IF YOU HAVE ANY INFO, THAT IS EVEN A POSSIBILITY, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT! You can reach me directly through my email at KJ.LEGGE@GMAIL.COM Thanks!

Dear Lyn_Swan,

When you click on an email link from the board the system puts two slashes // in front of the email address. This will cause an email to bounce. If you remove the slashes the email will go through providing the email address in the 1999 post is still good.

I have two Hershal Monroe's both born Illinois. Am replying privately to the email address your posted. I don't know if either are who you are looking for as you gave so little information re dates or places or potential kin.

Re: Malcolm/Malcomb/Malachi Monroe

LAroost — 2012-03-11 05:03:44Z

Did you ever find out for sure who Malcolm's parents were? Was it George/Charles Monroe & Elizabeth Barnett married in 1797 as you suspected? Please reply soon. Thanks! :)

Re: Malachi/Malcolm Monroe in KY

mamalama7 — 2012-03-11 01:00:05Z

Could you explain what your message means? Are these people related to Malcolm who was born between 1796 and 1810?
I'm trying to understand how this pertains? Because Malcolm is a dead-end for me as well. I'm kind of new to this, and don't understand the abbreviations or anything. Thanks :)

Samuel Monroe

jameswmonroe36 — 2012-02-23 20:45:51Z

My g-g-grandfather Samuel Monroe was supposedly 1st cousin of President James Monroe. Census data has Samuel born in PA in 1807. We have not been able to determine where in PA he was born nor his parent's names. Thus a road block.

Samuel married Amelia Wall in 1829 in Noblesville, Indiana. He died in 1850 in Lawrenceville, Indiana.
I am participating in the Clan Munro DNA project and have a match with a Donald Page Monroe. His g-g-grandfather was Aranthes Monroe born in 1804 in N.Y. Aranthes' parents names are also unknown.

Hopefully some one in the genealogy world has some info to share regarding Samuel. It could be that he entered the U.S. thru PA and was actually born in Scotland.

Any thread you may have will be appreciated.

James Monroe

Nelson Monroe

Tucc17 — 2012-02-15 14:01:21Z

I'm looking for any information either about my 2nd great grandfather Nelson Monroe or information regarding his ancestors.

He was born around 1888 in the Luzerne, PA area. His wife was Mabel Rollison and they had a daughter Ruth L. Monroe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Re: Julia Brannock and Percival Monroe

lblis — 2012-02-13 02:09:55Z

Such a sad story about your gg-aunt. The only "interesting" bits I know was that someone else had mentioned that Julia had been tried in a California court but I never knew the details. I remember my grandfather mentioning Lyman Brannock's name as Hester was his grandfather Benjamin's sister. I will continue to research Julia's married names as you have stated them and share anything with you that I find. I know that Hester is buried in the Lodi, CA cemetery.

I would very much like to see your information on Julia! Is it safe to post my email address?

Laura

Re: Julia Brannock and Percival Monroe

mroddyn3 — 2012-02-13 02:09:03Z

I am not related to Julia. I am researching her because she was the midwife who visited my great great aunt. According to Julia she "did not touch her or give her any medicine" but the woman died from septicemia and the autopsy identified a perforation in the uterus. I have lots of newspaper articles about Julia and her father and her brothers. They were quite the family. Julia was married at least 3 times. Her father was a bigamist. Her brother killed someone in a bar fight. Julia also has a patent for a liniment with lots of interesting ingredients.
I'd like to hear your "interesting" bits. If you send me your email address I can send you what I have.

Her full name, at least with the husbands I can identify is
Julia Ann Brannock Wermuth Monroe Achard
husbands were Jacob Wermuth, Percival Monroe and Milton/Meliton Achard

Re: Julia Brannock and Percival Monroe

lblis — 2012-02-13 02:08:02Z

I would love to have more information on Julia Brannock. I understand she was quite an "interesting" person. Julia's mother, Hester Withee was my gg-aunt. I didn't know Julia's married name nor that she had children. So I'll continue to look. Can you share your information? Are you related to Julia?

Laura

Re: Julia Brannock and Percival Monroe

mroddyn3 — 2012-02-13 02:07:15Z

Yes, the very same. I have lots of information on her, but I'm trying to find out what happened to her. I've lost track of her about 1910. I'd like to find when she died, where she's buried, and what became of her children.
How are you related?
