Andrew Monroe (I) "Andrew Monroe emigrated from Scotland to America in 1650. He belonged to an ancient highland clan and was Captain in the service of King Charles I of England. He received his first grant of land June 8, 1650 in Northhumberland County, Virginia, and was later (1652) granted land in Westmoreland County, Virginia. In the time of King Charles II of England he returned to Scotland and induced others of his family to emigrate and another extensive grant of land was made to him by the Crown. In 1659/60 he was a Member of the Westmoreland Commission. In July 1661 he was elected to the Vestry of Appromattox Parish, Westmoreland County. He began to write the name Munroe and it finally attained its present form, Monroe.
He married Elizabeth, who is said to be the daughter of Colonel John Alexander, who died in 1677. Andrew Monroe died in Westmoreland County in 1668.
His widow Elizabeth Monroe, married a second time before July 30, 1679 George Horner, and a third time before February 23, 1686-7 Edward Mountjoy of Westmoreland County.
Andrew and Elizabeth had six children:"
Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume I, IV--Burgesses and Other Prominent Persons:
"Andrew Monroe ancestor of President Monroe, was an early resident of Maryland, where he commanded a pinnace in the service of Cuthbert Fenwick, general agent of Lord Baltimore. He was a Protestant, and when Richard Ingle declared for parliament in 1645, Monroe took sides against Lord Baltimore's government and eventually settled like other refugee Marylanders at Mattox Creek, in Westmoreland county, under the Virginia authority. He died there in 1668."

!BIRTH - JOHN ALEXANDER A NORTHERN NECK PROPRIETOR HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS AND KIN by Wesley E. Pippenger
Elizabeth Alexander may have been a daughter of John Alexander and his wife Elizabeth, and possibly born in England, c. 1632. Since it has not been proven by the author that this Elizabeth Alexander is indeed correctly placed here, this line is not included in true numerical sequence but in identified alphabetically. Circumstantial evidence makes placement here highly probably. The subject Alexander family did not appear in the Colony until the early 1650's, so it is the opinion of the author that Elizabeth was born prior to initially coming to Virginia, probably in England.
NORTHERN VIRGINIA GENEALOGY, VOL 4, #4, FALL 1999 - SUSANNAH MONROE (CA. 1698-1752) THE FULL CIRCLE OF HER LIFE by Virginia R. Redden
Elizabeth (Alexander) Monroe named her children in a deed of gift made after 1668 as follows: Elizabeth, Susannah, Andrew, George and William. Except for son George, all the children survived to marry and have progeny of their own, George reportedly died young, clearly an occurrence post 1668.
