Captain Nathaniel Munday

Notes:

In the 1810 census, Nathaniel is listed as a head of household in North Kingstown, RI.

In the 1820 census, Nathaniel is listed again as a head of household in North Kingstown, RI. The household consists of three free white males -- one age 16-18, one age 16-25, and one age 45+ (who I assume is Nathaniel).

Also in the same census and same town is George Munday (age 25-44) with a wife and two children under age 10, one male and one female.

I found two references to a Nathaniel Munday of North Kingstown as follows. In an estate document for James Church, a letter of Administration was given to Nathaniel Munday, merchant, of NK, dated 7 March 1808; also Nathanial Munday of NK, yeoman, was mentioned in a deed of William Gardner of Exeter, dated 1 Aug 1812. These two documents may refer to the same individual.

He died in Wickford 2 January 1827, age 72 (Newport Mercury 6 January 1827 and lost gravestone). "Capt. Nathaniel MUNDAY died Jan 2, 1827 aged 72 years."

Nathaniel married Elizabeth Ann Unknown Bef 1799. Elizabeth was born Abt 1770; died Aft Mar 1799, RI. [Group Sheet]

Nathaniel married Jane Bayly Aft Mar 1799. Jane (daughter of John Bayly) was born Abt 1773; died 3 Aug 1808, Wickford, North Kingstown, RI; was buried , Old Church Graveyard, Wickford, RI. [Group Sheet]

Nathaniel married Mary Updike Aft 1808. Mary (daughter of Lodowick Updike and Abigail Gardiner) was born 1767; died 26 Aug 1842; was buried , Ayrault-Congdon-Updike Lot, Salisbury Rd., North Kingstown, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Nathaniel Monday son of George was baptized as an "adult" at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Wickford on 18 July 1819. It does not say how old he was. The church records also mention Captain George Monday and his wife Ann (baptized 1821), and daughters Elizabeth, Hannah, and Phebe, all baptized 2 Jan 1825. Ludowick and Daniel Updike were associated with this church in 1809.

George Munday and family are in the 1820 census at North Kingstown, RI. The family has 4 individuals: one male age 26-44, one female age 26-44, one male child under age 10, and one female child under age 10.

In 1840, George Munday and family are in Fall River, MA.

In the 1850 Census, they are still in Fall River: George Munday 60 (Nova Scotia?), Anna 59 RI, Hannah B. 27 RI, Phebe T. 26 RI, Lucy P. 21 RI; and George W. Whitaker 10 MA. George Munday is a clerk. His birthplace is not correct -- see his birth record in RI and death record in MA.

The death record at Fall River says he died at age 65 of lung fever. It gives his birthplace as RI, and names his parents as Nathaniel and Elizabeth, which agrees with his birth record.

George married Ann Unknown Abt 1818. Ann was born Abt 1791; died Aft 1850. [Group Sheet]

Thomas married Andrea Paredes Bef 1834. [Group Sheet]

Thomas married Rosario Larrain 10 May 1834, El Sagrario, Santiago, Chile. (daughter of Jose Antonio Larrain) [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1830 census, William Munday is listed at Troy (Fall River), MA. The household consists of 2 free white males 15-19, 1 free white male 20-29, and 1 free white female 20-29. I suppose this includes William and his wife, but who are the others?

In the 1840 census, William Munday and wife appear to be at Fall River, MA. Also listed is George Munday.

In 1850 and 1860, William & Eliza are in Fall River, MA. Other individuals with them in 1850 are Mary Durfee, Thomas M. Durfee, and Levica Miller. In 1860 they have a daughter Abby L, age 9; Mary Durfee is still with them, but the age is off.

In the 1865 Massachusetts State Census, the family is still at Fall River: William Munday 58 RI, Eliza H. Munday 53 RI, Augustin Munday 19 South America, Abby Munday 14 MA, Mary Durfee 50, and Jane Farrell 30 Ireland.

In 1870 William, Eliza, and their daughter (Alice?) are in Boston. Mary Durfee is still with them -- age 54.

According to William's death record at Boston (it is also registered in Fall River), he was born in Wickford; no parents are named. He died at age 76 y 7 m. Based on location and census records, I have made an assumption that William is a son of Nathaniel Munday, who is in the 1820 census at NK with two sons.

I believe Mary Durfee is ister to Eliza.

William married Eliza H. Arnold 19 Oct 1829, Fall River, Bristol Co., MA. Eliza (daughter of John Arnold and Abbie Unknown) was born 20 Jan 1809, Providence, RI; died 20 Nov 1880, Boston, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

He may be the Nathaniel Munday listed in the New Bedford City Directory of 1836 as a tailor.

In the 1860 census, Nathaniel is in Hoboken, Hudson Co., NJ: Nathanial Munday 42 RI engraver, Mary H. Munday 45 RI, Henry B. Baird 21 MA, George W. Whittaker 20 MA engraver (in 1850 with Nathaniel's father in Fall River), John B. Danley 19 PA, George F. Munday 3 (b. England), Margaret Cohen 20 Ireland, John G. Drew 37 MA, Phoebe Drew 36 MA, Charles L. Drew 6 NJ, Anna G. Drew 2 mos. NJ.

In the 1865 NJ Census, they are at Elizabeth, Union, NJ: Nathaniel, Mary, and Fred; also John G. and Phebe Drew -- I don't see their child.

In 1870 Nathaniel and Mary are in Elizabeth, Union, NJ; Nathaniel is still an engraver. I don't see that a young George is with them, but there is a 14-yr-old (b. England) who appears to L. Fredrick (?); also Louisa Turner, a domestic. George Whitaker, engraver, is next door or with them. He is married to Sarah and they have a young daughter, Lizzie.

In 1880, Nathaniel and Mary are in Livingston, Essex, NJ. His occupation is now farmer. The death record there in 1887 says he had lived there 32 years.

Their gravestone at Bristol says they adopted two children -- Fred and Zillah.

Nathaniel married Mary Harvey Batt 3 Jun 1843, Fall River, Bristol Co., MA. Mary (daughter of James Batt and Hannah Valdron) was born 13 Jul 1820, Bristol, RI; died 1 May 1908, Bristol, RI; was buried , North Burial Ground, Bristol, RI. [Group Sheet]

Phebe — John G. Drew. John was born Abt 1823, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1865 Massachusetts State Census, Augustin Munday is age 19, a student, living in Fall River, MA, with William and Eliza Munday. I believe William is his uncle.

Notes:

Her name is spelled Abbie in some records.

Abby married Samuel C. Harris 26 May 1885, Boston, Suffolk Co., MA. Samuel was born Abt 1841, Dorchester, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

George was adopted.

Notes:

Zillah was adopted (see gravestone at Bristol).

Elenor married James Gillespie Cromer 18 Jun 1913, Boston, Suffolk Co., MA. James was born Abt 1890, Inez, NE. [Group Sheet]
