Biography
James D. Monroe was born in Cohocton, New York, 14 Apr 1827. He was a son of Mercy (Wilson) Monroe (1802-1877) and Henry Monroe.
Note: The birth dates of two of his siblings, Henry and Mary Jane Monroe, as presented by a certain online grave "finding" service are gestationally impossible vs. each other and vs. this James D. Monroe. The birth year of Henry probably was 1825; the birth data on Mary Jane should be verified.
He married 15 Jan 1852 @ Danville, New York, Pauline Louisa Avery. They had 4 children:
- DeEtta E. Monroe (1852-1935), b. 13 Dec 1852 @ South Danville, New York; married James Henry Monroe
- Horace Avery Monroe (1854-1872), b. 15 Oct 1853 at South Danville; d. 20 Dec 1872 @ Monroe Center, Michigan
- Alice Rosaltha Monroe (abt.1859-), b. 29 Nov 1858 @ Cohocton, New York
- Celestia Paulina Monroe (1861-1934), b. 28 Mar 1861 @ Monroe Center, Michigan; married David McVeigh
James D. Monroe passed away in St. Louis, Missouri, 4 Jun 1864, during service in the American Civil War. His grave is in Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, Lemay, St. Louis County, Missouri, USA [1].
