This lineage doubles when· 10-109, Eli Maxwell Burton married 68-184, Susan Miranda Monroe, daughter of Chapman Arden Monroe and great grand-daughter of John Pleasant Burton. HISTORY Courtesy of Ina Monroe Pierson of Auburn, Washington. There have been even more theories as to the origin of this illustrious Scottish surname than there have been ways to spell it. Probably the most likely of them all is the simplest, namely that the first family to bear the name took it from his early home, which was near a mountain on the river Roe in County Derry, in Ireland. It appears that in the earliest times the name was spelled Munro, and that this form was Anglicized and Latinized to "de Monro." The most common forms today are Monro, Munro, and Munroe, also Monrow and Monroe, and in early New England records it was sometimes even abbreviated to Row and Roe. The family which bears this name has had an ancient and honorable history. One account (it is practically impossible to verify) says that the family was of ancient Scots, who, driven from the country by the Romans, fled to IrE,land and the Western Isles about 357 A. D. and that nearly seven hundred years later they returned to Scotland. However that may be, the earliest of the name of whom there is a definite record is Donald Monro. About the beginning of the 11th century he was granted extensive lands in the Shire of Ross by Malcolm, King of Scots-this grant constituting a payment for his services in the King's battles against the Danes.

  • Dante and Giovanni Del Virgilio : Including a Critical Edition of the Text
    Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2007 with funding from IVIicrosoft Corporation http://www.archive.org/details/dantegiovannidelOOdantuoft DANTE AND GIOVANNI DEL VIEGILIO. W^ Dante and Giovanni del Virgilio Including a Critical Edition of the text of Dante's " Eclogae Latinae " and of the poetic remains of Giovanni del Virgilio By Philip H. Wicksteed, M.A. and Edmund G. Gardner, M.A. Solatur maesti nunc mea fata senis Westminster Archibald Constable & Company, Ltd. 1902 GLASGOW: PRINTED AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS BV ROBERT MACLEHOSB AND CO. TO FRANCIS HENRY JONES AND FRANCIS URQUHART. PREFACE. Our original intention was merely to furnish a critical edition, with a translation and commentary, of the poetical correspondence between Dante and Del Virgilio. But a close study of Del Virgilio's poem addressed to Mussato, with a view to the discovery of matter illustrative of his correspondence with Dante, convinced us that Dante students would be glad to be able to read it in its entirety. And when we found ourselves thus including the greater part of Del Virgilio's extant work in our book, the pious act of collecting the rest of his poetic remains naturally sug- gested itself; and so our project took the shape of an edition of Dante's Latin Eclogues and of the poetic remains of Del Virgilio, The inclusion in our work of the Epistle to Mussato made some introductory account of the Paduan poet necessary ; and his striking personality, together with the many resemblances and contrasts between his lot and that of Dante, encouraged us to think that such an account would be acceptable to our readers.

FOREWORD. For several years it has been my effort to assemble the names of the de­ scendants of William Wilson and Elizabeth Blackburn, who settled finally in what is now Hardy County, West Virginia. The task has been an arduous one with many discouragements, but after much labor it is here presented in the best form pos­ sible under the circumstances. It was my main purpose merely to assemble the names of which there are now over 7,200. It is my guess, (not even an estimate,) that at least 1,500 are not yet included. Many of the "children" disappeared in the early part of the eigh­ teenth century and no further traces have been found. A word as to the accuracy of this list. Please remember all had to be ac­ cumulated by correspondence. In many cases no replies were received and informa­ tion had to be gathered from the best available sources. Very often the data were given from memory. Many of the dates and the spelling of the names have been changed three or four times as later information would come in.
