James Monro, son of Robert Monro and Mary ____  Birth: about 1772 in New Jersey Married: Catherine McCall, about 1792 in New Jersey (age 20) Died: 26 Mar 1806 in Charlotteville Township, Norfolk County (age 34) Buried: McCall-Fairchild Burying Grounds, Charlotteville*

Catherine McCall, daughter of Donald McCall and Elsie Simpson Born: about 1771 in Basking Ridge, Somerset County, New Jersey Married: James Monro, about 1792 in New Jersey (age 21) Died: about 1817 in Charlotteville Township, Norfolk County (age 46) Buried: McCall-Fairchild Burying Grounds, Charlotteville*

Their Children: Robert Monro married Phoebe Wood, then Hannah Moore, then Lydia Post Mary Monro married Ephraim Tisdale IV Daniel McCall Monro married Olive Smelley

Notes: James and Catherine married in New Jersey before coming to Upper Canada and may have had other children than those listed here. An ambitious farmer and merchant, James built a huge house that doubled as a store, pioneer courthouse and tavern. He prospered in part through real estate. James died young, leaving a young widow with three children to raise. Catherine appears to have died about a decade later, as her father's will refers to her daughter but not Catherine. * Family lore says James and Catherine were buried in the McCall family cemetery and this is assumed to be true, but no record or stone survives to verify that assertion.
