Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Joseph EDDY, Jr. was born 24 Feb 1729/30, Warren, RI.

    Notes:

    At the time of his marriage, Joseph was of Warren, so I have made an assumption that he was born there.

    I have also made an assumption that the Joseph Eddy, b 24 Feb 1729 at Warren to Joseph & Mary, is the same Joseph of Warren who married Lydia Jolls.

    The above assumptions are reasonable, but need further research to confirm.

    I am not sure if he was born in 1728/29 or 1729/30; consequently, I have opted for the 1729/30 date.

    Joseph married Lydia JOLLS 13 Jun 1756, Warren, RI. Lydia (daughter of Thomas JOLLS and Mehitable Unknown) was born 1 Mar 1738/39, Bristol, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    At the time of her marriage, Mary Eddy was of Warren, so I have made an assumption that she was born there.

    I also have made an assumption that she was d/o Joseph & Lydia (Jolls) Eddy. This needs more research to confirm.

    Notes:

    The birth record identifies David as son of Joseph & Mary.

    There is a death record at Seekonk for "Joseph Munro, son of Joseph," who died in May 1863 at age 78. I am making an assumption that it was this particular Joseph.

Generation: 4

  4. 14.  Jeremiah William MUNROE Descendancy chart to this point (3.David3, 2.Mary2, 1.Joseph1) was born Between 1815 and 1818, RI; died 22 Nov 1879, Bourne St., Bristol, RI.

    Notes:

    The Monroe Book, by Joan S. Guilford, Ph. d., has some information on Jeremiah and his family. However, it is both incomplete and incorrect in some crucial points. In fact, I have learned, through viewing Jeremiah's death and marriage records at Bristol, that his parents are David & Abbie, not George & Martha, as the book says. I have made an assumption that the Bristol record are correct.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Jeremiah W. & Elizabeth Munro are living at Bristol, RI, with their daughter Laura, age 9, and Benjamin & Mary M. Wyatt. This Elizabeth is his second wife.

    In the 1860 Federal Census, Jeremiah W. & Elizabeth M. Munro are living at Bristol, RI, with their three daughters: Laura A. 16, Mary E. 9, and Julia F. 6.

    In the 1870 Federal Census, Jeremiah W. Munro is 52 and his wife Lydia B. is 34, living at Bristol, RI. In the household are two of Jeremiah's daughters, Mary E., 18, and Julia F., 16. Lydia is Jeremiah's third wife.

    Jeremiah's wives:
    Bristol records list the death of Elizabeth Munro, wife of Jeremiah, at age 29 on 5 Dec 1845. This was presumably Jeremiah's first wife and also the mother of our ancestor Laura. Laura's death record identifies her mother as Elizabeth Barrington (or Parrington?). The RI State Archives has the name on her death record as Barrington. There was a Barrington family in the Portsmouth records during the 1700s, but I have not figured out whether Elizabeth belongs to that family. This needs more research.

    Elizabeth (Wyatt) Diman was a widow when she married Jeremiah. I have assumed she was a Wyatt because her (presumed) parents are living with Jeremiah & Elizabeth in the 1850 census. She may have first married James Diman, who died 2 Feb 1845.

    Jeremiah married again in 1867, to Lydia Crump. According to the marriage record, it was Jeremiah's third marriage. This was the same year his daughter Laura was married, and at the same church. However, this marriage ended in divorce, as one was granted 10 April 1876. Jeremiah W. was the plaintiff, and Lydia B. was the defendant.

    It would seem that Jeremiah married yet another time, because the wife he names as heir in his will, dated 10 Jan 1878, is Mary M. Munroe. To her he gives all household furniture and stores, as well as real estate, remaining after the payment of debts. In the will he also mentions three additional heirs, should his wife die: two daughters, Julia F. Munroe and Mary Elizabeth Gravlin; and one grandson, Frank P. Chafee (he is my great-grandfather); in case all of these should die, he names Frank's brother Samuel as heir. A copy of this will is recorded in the Bristol Probate Will Book No. 6, p. 275f. Also, related documents are in Book 5, p. 149.

    Jeremiah died of scarletina at his home on Bourne St. in Bristol.
