William Munroe
M
William Munroe is referred to in the Cambridge records in 1657, when he and Thomas Rose were fined for not having rings in the noses of their swine. He was the first of the Munroes in Lexington, Massachusetts.
William, with several of his relatives, was taken prisoner by
Cromwell in the battle of Worcester and banished to Boston, Massachusetts along with several others. They wre shipped from London on 11 November 1651, by Jo. Reex, Robert Rich, and William Greene, in the "John and Sarah," John Greene, master, and consigned to Mr. Thomas Kemble of Boston. Those banished and listed on board this vessel were recorded on 13 May 1652 the list contains four of the name Munroe, viz.: Robert, John, Hugh, and one other whose first name is obliterated by time. This name is supposed to have been William, the undoubted progenitor of the family of the Munroes of Lexington, Massachusetts.
A Curious note about these Munroes, being banished from their native land for fighting in the King's interest, Charles I, is that their descendants were the first to make a stand and fire the first shot on the morning of 19 April 1775 in the American Revolution.
If William was sold as an apprentice when he first arrived here, it must have been rather short for those days, because he must have been his own man about 1657. Around 1660 he settled in the northeasterly part of Cambridge Farms, now know as Lexinton, near Woburn line. In those days this part of the town was called "Scotland." He was made freeman in 1690 and on 1 February 1699 was received into Communion of the church. In 1694 he was a selectman of Cambridge and later his name appears in connection with several other important parish offices. In his will, dated 14 November 1716, he mentions sons, John, Willima, George, Daniel, Joseph and Benjamin, and daughters Eleanor Burgess, to who he gave the sole use of his house, Martha Comee, Hannah Pierce, Elizabeth Rugg, and Mary Fassett.
At first, several of his sons lived with him or not far from him, and it was said by his great-granddaughter, Mrs. Mary Sanderson, who died in 1853, aged 104 years, that his old house looked like a rope walk, so many additions had been made to it to accommodate his sons, as they settled in life. By adopting the custom of the Scottish clans, he, in a sense, confined the Munroes together, and made them for some tiime, a distinct people.
William was born at Nr Inverness, Scotland. He married Martha George circa 1665. He married Mary Ball circa 1672 at Lexington [Cambridge Farms], Middlesex County, Massachusetts. He married Elizabeth Johnson after 1692. William died.
