ALBERT and SARAH's marriage record in Athens County, Ohio, states that ALBERT was from Meigs County, Ohio, and that SARAH was from Athens County, Ohio.
According to various histories, the Monroe family came to California in 1860 from Missouri, having left Ohio earlier. John B. Monroe was three years old when the family crossed the plains in ox wagons; he remembered clinging to his mother's dress in fright at the Indians who visited the camp, while a cousin of his boldly ran after the Indians with a switch. He also remembers the sale of their vegetables in Missouri before they left. The vegetables had been 'heeled in'. He remembered the big barn and the fruit trees, and the possum that ran under the manger. Once in California, they stopped first in Dogtown, in Butte County, and were in the logging business. In 1864 from Green Valley in Sonoma County, they came to Tulare County, but because of the drought went on to Linn's Valley. The grandmother lived there. Glennville was quite a mining town; at Tailholt there was a little village. John Monroe went to the Dunlap school in 1864, a subscription school. In 1865, WESLEY MONROE returned to Woodville, John F. Monroe settled in Surprise District, died 14 February 1875 and is buried in Woodville Cemetery next to daughter Hattie May Rodaway. The parents located at Prairie Center, but died in the 1860's or soon after, and were buried in the old Stone Graveyard near the Harmony School. The grave markings in the old abandoned cemetery on the Stone Ranch were obliterated long ago. ALBERT died in the 1860's past 60 years of age; SARAH died about 1870 past 70 years of age.
1850 census for Honey Creek Township, Adams County, Illinois: ALBERT MONROE (age 52, farmer, born in Ohio), SARAH A. MONROE (age 52, born in New Jersey), John F. (age 19, farmer, born in Ohio), Wesley (age 18, farmer, born in Ohio). John and WESLEY had been to school within the year. Their daughter Harriett (age 28), her husband and three children also lived in the township at that time.
1860 census: If the family crossed the plains in 1860, then it is quite possible that they were in transit when the census was taken. People traveled in the warm months as soon as there was grass for the animals.
1870 census of Tule River Township, Tulare County, California: SARAH MONROE (age 70, born in New Jersey) living with her daughter Hannah (age 42, born in Ohio) and son-in-law Thomas Beasley (age 53, born in Virginia). Albert must have died between 1860 and 1870.
