I am just beginning on my Grandmothers Line. As far back as I go in CT is David Monroe. Settled at Norwalk, Connecticut, before 1690. He is thought to have come from Massachusetts His name appears as a land grantee in 1691, and on the list of voters for 1694 David's will was probated March 1, 1731 so, I assume he died in the latter part of 1730 or early in 1731. He makes bequests to his daughter Elizabeth Wood, his grandson David Wood, grandson David Monroe, daughter Experience Norris, his Daughter, Beers [must refer to Bethiah], daughter Lavina Morehouse, and to his son Amos. Possibly my first guess about Beers being Bethiah was very wrong: found this on Ancestry Name: Monroe, Martha Father: Monroe , David Mother: Beers , Elizabeth Birth Date: 1696 City: Norwalk County: Fairfield State: CT Country: USA Bettye --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
