Richard Munson was born in Kittery, ME, April 28, 1741, son of John Jr. and Anna ((Griffith) Rice) Munson.
Richard Munson married (1st), circa 1761, Mary Munson. She was born October 27, 1745.
(The known child of Richard and Mary (Munson) Munson was: Samuel Munson (c1765-)).
Son Samuel Munson was born in NH, circa 1765.
Richard Munson married (2nd) in Portsmouth, November 2, 1768, Susannah Cane. She was born in NH, circa 1740, daughter of James and Rebecca (Lamb) Cane.
(The known children of Richard and Susannah (Cane) Munson were: William Munson (1766-1830), Polly Munson (c1769-1857), Theodore Munson (1775-1839), and Daniel Munson (1778-1841), Sally Munson (c1791-184?)).
Son William Munson was born in Portsmouth, NH, May 15, 1766.
Son Theodore Munson was born November 7, 1775.
Richard Manson [Munson] was among the three hundred ten Rochester inhabitants that petitioned the NH legislature, August 30, 1785, seeking repeal of an act requiring milled boards to be square-edged and an inch thick (and other lumber in proportion). Those inhabitants described themselves then as being “largely Concerned in Lumber.” They sought also repeal of an act forbidding transport of lumber to the British West Indies, and seeking the issuance of a new paper money (Hammond, 1884). (See Rochester Lumber Remonstrance – August 1785).
William Munson headed a Colchester, VT, household at the time of the First (179o) Federal Census. His household included one male aged 16-plus years [himself]. (The town’s total population consisted of forty-two males aged 16-plus years, forty males aged under-16 years, and fifty-five females).
According to a 1938 Burlington Free Press article, William Munson came to Colchester as early as 1790 from Dover, New Hampshire, with twelve cents in his pocket and an axe over his back. According to Becky [Munson], however, William Munson came to Colchester in 1791 from Portsmouth, Maine [New Hampshire, and lived by the Winooski Falls part of town. (Winooski Fall was part of Colchester until 1922). There he met his wife, Ama Brownell (called Amy). There is agreement that William first worked for Ira Allen in his sawmill and that he was soon working for himself clearing land and building mills. Two of his brothers – Theodore (who later moved to Illinois with several other Munsons) and Daniel – also came to Vermont, along with their sister, Mary, who never married (Schaefer, 2009).
Son William Munson was elected as town constable at the inaugural town meeting of Colchester, VT, held March 18, 1793.
Son William Munson married in Colchester, VT, March 23, 1795, Ama “Amy” Brownell. She was born in Little Compton, RI, February 17, 1778, daughter of Ichabod and Elizabeth (Stanley) Brownell.
Richd Monson headed a Rochester, NH, household at the time of the Second (1800) Federal Census. His household included one male aged 45-plus years [himself], one female aged 45-plus years [Susannah (Cane) Munson], one female aged 26-44 years, two males aged 16-25 years, and one female aged 16-25 years. (See Northeast Parish in the Second (1800) Federal Census).

Albert O. Mathes, who had been active in the Milton Centennial celebration, highlighted son Theodore Munson’s mercantile activities at the time of Milton was established. (The “tavern of old stage times,” situated opposite his “small country store,” would be supplanted later by the PGF&C Railroad station).
We are indebted to Albert O. Mathes (30 March 1906) for a glimpse of Theodore’s vocation in Milton namely: He had a small country store, opposite the tavern of old stage times; he was there in 1800-01-02; he sold out, and went to Wakefield, N.H., where he was in trade in 1803 (Munson, 1910).
Son Theodore Munson married (1st) [in Rochester, NH], December 5, 1802, Ann Cloutman. “Parson” Haven performed the ceremony. She died of “consumption following an abscess,” November 28, 1803.
Richard Manson [Munson] and his son, Daniel Manson [Munson], were among the “respectable inhabitants & freeholders” that sought a special Town Meeting to reconsider the initial proposed Meeting House site. That special Town Meeting was held at the home of Lieut. Elijah Horn, September 1, 1803, and decided not to change the proposed Meeting House site.
Son D. [Daniel] Monson purchased Pew No. 5 in the Milton Town House, for $12.25 in 1804. It was situated on the west side of the gallery or balcony floor, between those of S. Palmer, Pew No. 4, and G. Gerrish, Pew No. 6 (See Milton Town House – 1804).
Son Theodore Manson [Munson] married (2nd) in Wakefield, NH, November 13, 1804, Lydia Philbrook, both of Wakefield, NH. Rev. Asa Piper performed the ceremony. She was born in Wakefield, NH, April 10, 1783, daughter of Eliphalet and Sarah (Balch) Philbrook.
Richard Manson [Munson] was one of fifty-two Milton petitioners that sought to have Jotham Nute appointed as a Milton justice-of-the-peace, in August 1805.
Richard Monson, and his son, Lt. D. [Daniel] Monson, were assessed in the Milton School District No. 2 of Lieut. J. Nute in 1806 (See Milton School Districts – 1806).
Colchester, VT, elected son William Munson as its VT State Assemblyman, i.e., state representative, in September 1806 (Vermont Gazette (Windsor, VT), September 15, 1806).
Son William Munson received appointment as a VT Justice-of-the-Peace, in 1809.

Theodore Manson [Munson] headed a Kittery, ME, household at the time of the Third (1810) Federal Census. His household included one male aged 26-44 years, and two females aged 10-15 years.
Grandson William B. Munson (1801-1892) recollected much later the arrival of his paternal grandparents in Colchester, after the 1810 Census. (He would have been about nine or ten years of age).
“I remember my grandfather. He was a small man, and an old man when he came” to Colchester, “about 1810. I have very frequently heard them [his ancestors and their collaterals] speak of The Three Ponds;” a term designating Milton and still in use thereabout (Munson, 1910).
Grandson William B. Munson remembered too his paternal uncle, Theodore “Uncle Thode” Munson, who arrived in Colchester about the same time.
William B. testified concerning his “Uncle Thode” that he was habitually mirthful, jocose and full of anecdote (Munson, 1910).
Son William Munson received reappointment as a VT Justice-of-the-Peace, in 1812.
BURLINGTON, THURSDAY, OCT. 9, 1812. Appointments by the Vermont Legislator [Legislature]. … CHITTENDON COUNTY. … Justices of the Peace. … Colchester, Wm. Munson, Francis Childs, William Hine, Berachias Farnham (Sentinel & Democrat, October 29, 1812).
Richard Munson died in Colchester, VT, August 13, 1813, aged seventy-two years.
Son William Munson testified in an interesting electoral dispute over how the Vermont soldiers visiting from a nearby military encampment – this being during the War of 1812 – had voted in a State election at his Colchester tavern, in 1813.
The affidavit of one William Munson, a tavern-keeper, was first exhibited. He testifies that a party of soldiers came to the polls, commanded in their march from camp and on their return, by Major M’Neil of New-Hampshire. When so large a number of soldiers were permitted to go from the camp, it was very proper that they should be commanded by some officer; and it was very prudent to select one from another state, who could not feel so much interested in the politics of this state, as to attempt to use any improper influence with those under his command. This deponent says the officers were active in writing so he was himself; so was every leading federalist in the state. He testifies that “Democratic votes, exclusively, were distributed among the soldiers.” It was impossible that he could have ascertained this. He would not have had time to examine the vote of each soldier, if they had been better pleased with his society, than it appears they were. If he had the impudence to look over the officers, while they were writing, he could not have ascertained what kind of votes they were all writing, at one and the same time. But we know that Democratic votes were not exclusively distributed among the soldiers. It appears by the testimony of the Hon. Heman Allen, Esq., one of the magistrates of Colchester, that the votes of the soldiers were counted by themselves, and that there were Federal votes among them. The story that the soldiers were compelled to vote, or that they all did vote for the Democratic ticket, sworn to by Munson, and so often repeated, is not true. He must have labored under a mistake. Mr. Munson also testifies that he sent persons to distribute Federal votes among the soldiers, and that “they soon returned and said they dare not offer them, for the soldiers told them there would be difficulty.” It appears that he then went himself, and that Maj. M’Neil “said he hoped the citizens would not go near the soldiers, for that there might be some difficulty, and he should be sorry to have a quarrel between the soldiers and the citizens.” Though Munson’s agents for distributing votes had returned to him with apprehensions of difficulty with the soldiers, yet he now says, “I had not observed any misunderstanding on the part of the citizens.” What he means by this, after what he had said before, I am unable to say. It appears by this part of the testimony that the soldiers resented the improper interference of a tavern-keeper, and would not receive his votes. Probably they thought he would have been better employed in making something for them to drink, than in imposing his votes upon them. The officers did not wish to see their soldiers engaged in a quarrel, and very discreetly advised him and his agents not to go near them. It appears that four gallons of rum were distributed among the soldiers. After marching eight miles they actually needed some refreshment; and when divided among two hundred, four gallons would be a small portion to each individual. It was probably not half so much as those in the house drank.
He testifies that “there was no examination whatever by the select-men and civil authority of the town, whether the soldiers were residents in this state, or not; or whether they had previously been made freemen in any town in this state.” It was impossible for him to know what was not done, as well as others could tell what was done. He might not see what others saw and did. He might have been, and probably was, in his bar, making grog, while the officers of Colchester were doing their duty. For it appears, by the testimony of Judge Allen, that a particular enquiry was made whether they were citizens of Vermont; and that none but those, who belonged to the state, and were legally qualified, were permitted to vote. It appears, also, that Major M’Neil, as well as the other officers, knew these to be Vermont soldiers, and said that he would vouch for all his men. A proper inquiry was instituted – the Vermont soldiers were well known- there could not have been, and there evidently was not any deception.
He also testifies, that “no inquiry was made as to their names, their residence, or their moral characters.” The law did not require a roll of their names to be kept; their place of residence was known to be in Vermont, which was sufficient; and this is the first time that I ever heard, that the magistrates of a town, at Freeman’s-meeting, sat as Judges to decide on the moral characters of the voters. I will be satisfied with those in authority if they faithfully discharge their duty. I ask for no works of superarrogation [supererogation]. it appears that the civil officers of Colchester did more than their duty. In order to give better satisfaction, they administered the oath to those, who were already freemen. This was something like renewing an oath of allegiance. Though not absolutely necessary, it was highly proper at such a time. It also appears that the laws were not read particularly to the soldiers. They were read at the opening of the meeting, and it appears from the testimony of Judge Allen, that some soldiers were present. The laws are required to be read at the opening of the meeting, and at no other time. At our meetings, there are generally very few, if any, present, during the reading of the laws. It often happens that the Town Clerk is obliged to read them, as Dean Swift read his prayers to his dearly beloved Rodger. There would be as much propriety in a clergyman’s making his prayer a second time, because some of the congregation were not present at the usual hour, as there would be in reading the laws a second time.
It also appears from his testimony, as well as from that of all the others, that the soldiers were dismissed at the time of voting, that they voted like other citizens, and that no one controuled [controlled] them. Thus nothing appears in the testimony of their principal witness, which would invalidate the votes, or impeach the magistrates of Colchester (National Standard (Middlebury, VT), December 29, 1813).

Stephen A. Greene sued Munson & Munson, in January 1837, in order to eject them from Lot No. 4 in Colchester, VT. Some thirty years previously, i.e., circa 1804, Benjamin Boardman had sold thirty-two acres, out of a total fifty-four and one-half acres, to the plaintiff’s father, Thomas Greene. He sold the remainder to William Munson. (Munson had died back in 1830, and the defendants, Munson & Munson, would seem to be his heirs).
That afterwards, in 1804, said Boardman deeded to said Thomas Greene thirty-two acres of said pitch, and, in the year 1811, deeded the remainder to William Munson, whose title is held by defendants. In the year 1834, Thomas Greene, deeded the thirty-two acres to plaintiff. The plaintiff and his father have continued to occupy the whole Winslow pitch, of fifty four acres, until very recently, when the defendants entered into possession of the part deeded to Wm. Munson, and are still in possession of the same, claiming to hold it adversely to plaintiff (VT Supreme Court, 1838).
