William Munroe, the Exile, and the Legacy

This episode traces the first exile in my family line — William Munroe — and how displacement, reinvention and silence became woven into the generations that followed. It’s the story of a man forced into a new life, the quiet that came with that kind of survival and the echoes that still show up in my family today.Special thanks to the Lexington Historical Society and the Lexington History Museums for their ongoing work preserving the Munroe family legacy.
