BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES

THE MUNRO FAMILY

Samuel Munro was born in Herkimer Co., New York. 

The Loyalist Munro family, which had Scottish ancestry, came to Canada from the United States. Samuel Munro, who was born in Herkimer County on January 31, 1757, was among the first United Empire Loyalists to move from New York State to Prince Edward County, after the American Revolution. When he and his wife Susanna (Susannah) settled in Northport they were one of the first families to inhabit that section of Sophiasburg. The six children of Susanna and Samuel Munro were all born in Northport; Olive in 1787, Catherine in 1788, George in 1791, Samuel in 1796, Allan in 1798, and Royal in 1803. The Munro family belonged to the Presbyterian Church. They were considered to be one of the most prosperous of the early Prince Edward County families.

Olive Munro married John Lazier, and they had three children: John, Allan and Samuel. Olive Munro Lazier died in 1868.

Catherine, the other daughter of Susanna and Samuel Munro, married Royal Hall. They had five children: Samuel, George, Allan, William and Royal Jr.
