Notes:

Was his ship the sloop Mercator? There was a mortuary notice in the Rhode Island American of 6-13-1820 stating that friends of someone who died on the ship should call on Capt. Henry Munro to claim property of the deceased.

VITAL RECORD of RHODE ISLAND By James N. Arnold lists Henry's 2nd marriage: - Henry Munro and Sally Munro, Sept. 27, 1812, St Michael's Church Bristol, but it lists his first wife dying afterwards: Phebe Munro, wife of Henry, 44 y., Jan. 17, 1819. One of these dates is wrong.
