Evelyn Louise Petty born December 28, 1924 Died November 29, 2005 in Liberty, Clay County Missouri. She was the Family Historian, Genealogist and Story Teller She never married and in later years lived with her brother in Liberty. Evelyn knew the family history of every surname in Liberty Township and Fishing River Township between 1822 and 1945. Evelyn's family came from the South. Her father Marshal I. Petty and her mother S. Bert Munkirs (1898) came to Liberty and settled there. Evelyn attended Liberty High School where she won an essay contest in which she wrote about her ancestry. Following graduation from William Jewell College in 1945 she became a teacher of history in Wyoming and returned to Liberty each summer to do the research on residents of Clay County.
She always had a spiral notebook with her and she filled many a tablets with notes she gleaned from the old newspapers, County Records and any place she could find facts about the people of Clay County, Missouri. She volunteered at the Clay County Archives & Historical Library and many patrons used Evelyn as their primary resource when hunting genealogical and historical information. Evely also would relate colorful tales of local citizens and their antics in the community's early years. She was a great story teller. Evelyn was a teacher thru and thru. She taught more I think outside of the classroom than she did in. She taught us why historical research is so important. Evelyn thought far beyond the preserving of records and newspapers she thought about the connections between people of Clay County and those of us who seek the knowledge from those by gone days.
Thanks Evelyn Petty hard work we (the moncus) have our history. Evelyn did manuscript on the Monkres/Moncus/Monkirs family.. I own a copy of this manuscript. I will post what she found and add what I have found.
Munkres is all so spelled Moncus in VA, MUNCAS, Muncus(NC), Monkers, Munkers, Monkerss, Munkus, Munkous, Munkous, Munkus, Munkers, Munhers, Monkirs, Monkres(s)
I was told there at least 7,000 ways this name spelled.
Another Munkers web page that hosted by my cousin Kim Brown Kim webpage was stolen so if not link it is being redone
My Muncus cousin Kim Brown wonderful site. It is must see place
My Worldconect site is Janet Green Ariciu family click below
Update on 12 Mar 2004
I am doing a timeline for the Muncus family. It is my belief that we (the Muncus family) had more then just two William Muncus living in VA. I will start with who I think is the oldest William Muncus.
EP states many Genealogist think that the Moncus name came from Germany, Holland, Cornwall , Wales or Ireland. There was story from NW Missouri family that there three brothers who came from Holland to NC. EP said that she check this story out and never found anything to fit the story. EP says that James Franklin Monkirs that thought his family came from Cornwall with John Smith to Jamestown. EP said that she check to story out and that was no man with out surname or anyone with names that could ours there.
EP states Cousin Shirley Monkirs and her sister Mrs Clare Munkirs Lowery were the first Clay County descendants of William Munksres to attempt a family history and even then they lacked names or dates. I have a a 1941 letter from Cousin Shirley � Unknown Monirs (sic) and wife came from Ireland and settled in Virginia. They had three sons. We know of no daughters in this family. Two fought in Revolutionary War. One they youngest was never hear of again. The other came back . It is unknown what the first names were. EP thought because the names John , William, Richard and Redmond are mention in our Monkres family she presumed that the first names could be the names first names for our Monkres family.
EP states: the book �Cavaliers and Pioneers� Thomas (sic) patent same land when he transferred four persons- one of which was James Monger. Note Monger is not one of spelled names so this rules him out.
In James City County William Ewen in 1648, brought 20 persons one was John Monck
In Glouster County, 1652, Peter Kniht brought 20 persons one was Elizabeth Monke/Mounke
Thomas Steves also in 1652 brought 25 persons one was Frank Monkes to Lancaster County.
Lt Col Anthony Billott brought 25 persons one was John Munke in 1665
Michael Goodall of James City in 1664 brought three persons one of them was Mathew Munck
Randoplh Kirek got 1,000 acres in Westmoreland county in 1665 brought 20 person one was Thomas Monkes
Guy Knight of Glouster brought in 1666 a person name Thomas Monk
None of the above can be prove that they related to us.
EP states that she did find a Joseph Monk of Virginia a sergent of the Virginia Continental Line for three years . Again can link him to ours
EP states: She found John Monk Esq in South Carolina in 1680.
EP states: North Carolina Gemologist has a Monk etc. in abt 1762, public road in Curtiuck county across the great swamp to the bridge on North River near the Indian Town. Among the men list there was William Moneres. Could be related or the same William found in Pittsylvania?
EP states: there was William Moncus settling the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe. Counties that are in Golden Horseshoe are Lunenberg, Hailifax, King & Queen, Pittsylvania and Henry were just some the counties.
We know our Moncus can found in Pittsylvania County, Virginia
William Muncus b before 1700, d bet 1782-1787 Unknown wife.
Children
William Moncus born 1720 died aft 1798
Redmond Moncus born 1722 died 1784 during the Rev. War
EP agrees with statement above but one thing EP did not have was that Our John and William were the sons of Redmond. But wilth mention of so many Williams mention records it clear EP mis one William.
Our John, William and Elizabeth are the children of Redmond Moncus etc
Do to fact that were two William Moncus it hard to tell which is Sr or Jr. So have just list all records. Sorry about this.
CHIARITO, Rebecca W.; Entry Record Book; 1730-1770 (Land entries in the present Virginia Counties of Halifax, Pittsylvania, Henry, Franklin and Patrick); The Clarkton Press; Route 2; Nathalie, Virginia
�24577; cr. 1984. (FFX Lib VREF 929.3755CHIA) These counties were formed from the western portion of Brunswick Co., which was separated from Lunenburg Co. in 1746. This book is an entry book with the lines of property and the names of the owners. An entry for land was but a statement of intention. Ownership of land resulted from satisfying the requirements for settlement on the land, and improving it. "In November of 1730, tax free status for a period of ten years was offered to settlers who would brave the dangers of the wilderness and make their homes there. These inducements attracted Swiss immigrants and the Germans, Quakers, and the Scotch-Irish who were then moving in great numbers from Pennsylvania." For this reason many entries were voided. The original Entry Book is in the Clerk's Office at the Pittsylvania Court House in Chatham. VA. The entries were copied from Major Drury STITHS's old Book. Words added in a different handwriting are enclosed in / slashed/s Marginal notes are show in parentheses before the entry. Words or letters underlined when in doubt. Entries "[bracketed]�, which contain my initials, dlc, are my comments and not those of the author.�

The above William Moncus with land might be William 1 father of William and Redmond Moncus
The name of this Settlement is Mayo (Ref.THE HISTORY of PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY VIRGINIA CHAPTER III FIRST SETTLEMENT) I believe the following William is William 1
"The names of William Blevin, Richard Echols and William Muncus, three first settlers, appear on the surveyor's record at this time; also Mary, Henry and Ephriam Sizemore, one of whose patents was on Peter Mitchell's Creek, beginning at "the Roads"; and another included the place on which Ephraim lived.

I believe that William and unknown wife had two sons. (Miss Petty states in her book that he had three sons)
Children:
1 William Muncus b abt 1720, died 1798
2 unknown son, whose name could be �Redmond� born 1721. The reason why I think this child is named Redmond is the name of �Redmond� can be found in William b 1754 and John b 1758 family for generations, daughter Elzabeth who married Elijah Adams, and another son name Patrick Moncus had issue
1782 in Pittsylvania co. VA;
William Muncas
1 white male 21-60= William Muncas
3 white males under 16= William son William, Redmond children William and John
3 white females = Elizabeth, wife of William, Elizabeth dau of Redmond, and a female. Could this female be one their daughters mention in the will sure but which one is the question? Redmond did have son Patrick but he died by this time
I will start with �Redmond�. The family history states that a �Redmond Muncus� died during the Revolution War, 1776-1783. This �Redmond� was married to unknown lady. What happen to her is good question. They had the following children:
1. William MUNKERS(son of Redmond) was born in 1754/55 in Pittsylvania Co., VA. He died in 1856 in Platte Co., MO. He was buried in Stanton Cem., Platte City, Platte Co., MO. He was married to Rebecca PENDLETON on 5 Feb 1795 in Washington Co., VA. William is mention in William Muncus�s will below Click here to go to William Munkres webpage
Click here for WilliamMunkres
2 Patrick Monkres b abt 1756 (Family history says that Patrick was hung for treason by the British , date before 1784) His wife was Nancy for more information on them read below
3 John MUNKRES was born in ca 1758 VA; died after 1820 Missouri, John was married three times: 1785 1st wife is Miss Cameron , 2nd Patsy Kirby m�d John Mankins 1798, Surry County, NC died after 1803 and m�d abt 1805 3rd Jemmina (Jenny) Cameron . John was mentioned in William Muncus�s will. 1803 MUNCUS JOHN Grainger County TN No Township Listed Tax list TN Early Census Index. EP did not know that John was married times not just two times. But documents that prove that he was married three times. His children came for first and second wife. Miss Cameron was last wife but they had no children.

4 Elizabeth (Martha) Monkers b abt 1760 Place: <, Pittsylvania, Virginia> Married: 15 Apr 1785, Pittsylvania, Virginia , Elijah ADAMS
Elizabeth Adams of said will is as follows: Elizabeth Manes/Muncus m'd Elijah Adams on 15 Apr 1785 in Pittsylvania County, Va. Elijah Adams parents were Robert and Mourin Pigg Adams (Robert Adams's will can found on the Adams page link below)

15 April 1785. Elijah Adams and Elizabeth Maneas. Married by Samuel Harris. P 7

I believe that �Redmond� did have money or own land. The landowner was his brother William. William the brother of Redmond be came the guardian of Redmond children William. John, Patrick and Elizabeth
Now if I right that Patrick Moncus son of �Redmond�. Then could this Moncus lady with her children found here be Patrick widow?

Note: From what found the Creek was name from 1630s to 1730s more or less the same name. I wonder what is called today? So the counties that the creek is found is Charles City and Prince George Counties.. Joseph Momcus was living in James City County, Virginia. James City and Charles City counties are next to each other.
The Munkers family has their own Historian name Evelyn Petty. She put her finds on the Muncus family in book form for all us Muncus descendants to have and learn.
Miss Petty found these person and I have no idea where she found them.
The following are persons with what could be our family but not proven
In James City County, William Ewen in 1648 brought over 28 person which one was John Mounke
In Glouster Country, 1652, Peter Knight brought 20 persons, including Elizabeth Monke/Mounke
Thomas Stevens, also 1652, brought 28 people, including a Frank Munkes to Lancaster County.
Lt. Col. Anthony Billyott brought 28 persons, including a John Monkee in 1655 and for this he was given 1400 acres: adjacent to his ownland on Allen�s Creek for ths�
Michael Goodall in James City County, in 1664, brought over three people, including Mathew Munck
Raniolph Kirke got 1,000 acres in Westmoreland County in 1665 and another 1,000 acres in 1666 for bringing over 20 people including a Thomas Monkes
Finally Goodall in Glouster County brought over 8 people in 1666 including Thomas Monke
Miss Petty did find a Joseph Monk of Virginia, a sergeant on the Virginia Continental Line for three years, being mustered out Aug 1783, and receiving 200 acres of land for his services in the Revolution. The 1809 and 1812 taxlists of Hawkins County List John Monk and Shadrack Munke. John Monk, ESQ., was in SC in 1680, holding the �perpetual and hereditary titles� Miss Petty learned that the Carolinas had three of these perpetual and hereditary titles granted by the Lords Proprietors of the Carolina--- arons, Cacuques or Cassuques, and Landgraves. DeBellet�s Some Prominent Virginia Familes says that the cacque was the rank of the Baron of England. William Gilmore Simms�novel, The CASSQUES, gives further information on these colonial titles. The word evidently came from an Indian word for chief, used in Cuba, the West Indies, and South America. Some historians, findings it among the Croatan Indians, have thought that the males of the lost colony of Roanoke became casiquen

Brunswick was dissatisfied with the rate at which the lands were being settled, and in order to lure any settlers authorities took this step.. a law was passed exempting any settler taking up land here from paying all levies for ten year after date of settlement and after the original ten years exemption was up, the settler would then pay only three farthings a year in taxes.
All this area was first explored by the KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEND HORSESHOE and most of it was, as mentioned previously, not particularly desired as settling ground until after 1738. German, Quakers and Scotch-Irish began to come down into Virginia from Pennsylvania, coming down the Valley of Virginia, across the mountain gaps, following the Great War Trail of the Iroquois. English settlers from Eastern and tidewater Virginia joined them. The German settlers, mainly from Ulstar, were attracted by reports of the beautiful Piedmont region Creeks, and by 1767 the population was as much as Brunswick had hoped for.
