Greetings,
I am researching the family of Oran Munroe, born in the States, moved to Ontario, specifically Peterborough County, early 1800's. He and his wife Catherine Emmeline Hubble had a son Oran Jr., born in Ontario, died US. On 1880 US Census is in Munro, MI. Oran and his wife Mary had 3 children that I know of...two sons, Guy and Terry, and a daughter. Oran Jr. also had a brother Perse C. who lived at least for a time in Michigan. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Munro, P.C....Born in Hastings county, Canada, June 20th 1820. Post Office: Weadock. Munro Twp. Section 9

Looking at the map, Munroe Lake is surrounded on the east side at least, by Munro families. O.M. Munro owned 121 acres at the north end of the lake, E. Munro owned 83 acres just south of him, P.C. Munro owned 35 acres just south of E. Munro, and H. Munro owned 70 acres directly east of P. C. Munro across Heilman Road.

The Munros were neighbors of my Myers family in Munro Township. I grew up in the same neighborhood and often wondered after I started researching if they were who the lake and township were named for. Anyway...the old Cheboygan newspapers had township gossip columns, some of which I can pass along. This is by no means a complete list of what might be available...just what happens to be on the pages I've copied for myself.

Fri., July 21, 1911 (I don't know which paper)
Mrs. P.C. Munro spent Sunday with Mrs. James Robertson.

Cheboygan Democrat, Fri., Aug. 18, 1911
Orin Munro arrived last Friday from California, where he has been with his son Guy, he intends to go back after a visit here.

Cheboygan Democrat, Sept 15, 1911
Mrs. P.C. Munro visited at Jas. Robertson's Sunday.

Cheboygan Democrat, March 9, 1912
Mrs. P.C. Munroe called on Mrs. James Roberston's Sunday.

Note the different spellings...I copied them as they appeared.
Hope it helps! :)

Thank you for this information. It comes in handy for myself and another Munro researcher.

Are you still searching for the Munro family from Cheboygan?

P.C. Munro was my gr gr gr Grandfather.

I've done quite a bit of research about Oran Ami Munro but need his parents names.

I'm happy to share.

Hi Sharon...yes, I'm still interested. Please email me privately for more information (millis@shaw.ca).

Hi. I live in Canada and have connections to the Munroe family (appears spelt with an "e" on records here.
Oran Ami Munroe 1798-1863 married Catherione Emmiline Hubble 1805-1857, about 1822 in Oakdale. Belmont Twp Ontario. their children included; Pearce C; Allan; Samuel Williams; Oran Jr; and hannah.
Pearce C married Polly Mary Hubble and 2nd Annie Haffner
Allan married Elizabeth Post
Samuel Williams married Sarah Ann Hubble, and 2nd Mary Ann Westcott
Oran Jr married Mary E (surname unknown)
Hannah married Andrew Hubble and 2nd unknown Hubble

Hello...we must be some kind of cousin. Allan Munro was my great great grandfather. There are some errors in the information you provided. Oran first married Catherine Hubble. she died in 1845 in Jefferson Co., New York. He then married Mahala (surname unknown). He did not die in 1863 but sometime after 1881 when he appears on the Canadian Census. Catherine and Oran had 6 children:
Perse married Polly Hubble
Allan married Elizabeth Wood Post
Samuel married 4 times, Sarah Ann Hubble, Mary Ann Wescott, Elizabeth Harnden and Matilda Clarke
Oran Milton married Mary Elizabeth Lemmon
Huldah (not Hannah) first married Amiah Hubble and in 1881 married his brother Andrew
Lovica married John Dorie

The geographic area is Oak Lake, Methuen Twp., Peterborough Co., Ontario not Oakdale. Methuen Twp merged with Belmont twp at some point.

I'm curious...which one of the above is your ancestor? I'd love to hear more about your branch.

Thank you for the updates... i will make corrections to my data. My connection is through the Hubble family, who married into the CROSS line. They were in Dummer Twp, Hastings, Northumberland etc of Ontario.
