On Dec. 29, 1844, Mr. Munroe married Delana Pierce, who was also descended from a long line of illustrious ancestors. She was a descendant of Capt. Michael Pierce, the famous Indian fighter; an original Daughter of the American Revolution, her father having fought in the Continental Army, and she was a member of Gaspee Chapter, D.A.R., of Providence. Delana Pierce was born in Rehoboth, July 13, 1823, daughter of Isaac and Polly (Bowen) Pierce, and died in Barrington, R.I., June 19. 1909, in the eighty- sixth year of her age. She contributed much toward the success of her husband, by her thoughtful co-operation and valuable assistance. As a young woman she was a regular attendant at the old Hombine Meeting-House in Rehoboth, and she always showed a loving loyalty to the town of her birth, to the old church of her girlhood days, and to her kindred.
