At age 58 in 1775, Nathan was the oldest member of Carlisle’s Minute Company. His 20-year-old son, our Uncle Aaron Munroe, was one of the youngest. When the Second District of Carlisle was established in 1780, Nathan was listed among its founding officers.

I’ve put most of what we know about Nathan in my Carlisle section.
