21. The original transcription has “Mesamie” as her last name. FamilySearch has “Anna Minnare” and Ancestry has “Ann Minnave.” An Ann Munroe appears in both the 1830 and 1840 census in Alachua County and 1860 in Clay County, and this is certainly the same woman. Her age is approximate and is off by about 13 years in this census, she being about the age of 73 at the time, based on the 1860 census. 1850 Alachua County FL Slave Schedule – Page 03.
