This website contains family lines and ancestors of my husband,Joe, and is 
intended solely as a place to store all the information we have collected so 
we can continue to work on the lines without hunting and searching through 
papers constantly. Not all data is proven, but we are working on it.

These families settled in the east Tennessee counties of Union, Grainger, 
Claiborne, and Hancock. Their migrations were from England, Germany, Spain, 
and 
Switzerland, eventually ending up in the Americas. From Delaware, 
Pennsylvania, 
Maryland, New York and Massachusetts they migrated down through Virginia, 
Kentucky, and North Carolina to settle in Tennessee. Many branches later 
migrated on westward.

According to Estle Pershing Muncy, M. D., author of The Muncys In The New 
World, "The earliest Muncys of record seem to have come from Normandy and, 
possibly, earlier from Rome. Surnames were not used before the Norman conquest 
and many surnames came from places in Normandy. The Muncy name was originally 
spelled de Monceaux. In France, after various changes, it became Moncey. The 
first Muncys who went to England accompanied William the Conqueror in 1066. 
Some Muncys lived at the Court of Edward I and later, Edward II. In 1266 
Walter de Moncy was summoned to Parliament as a Baron."

Various Spellings of names:
de Monceaux, de Moncy, Moncey, Muncy, Muncey, Munsey, Monce

PLEASE NOTE:
As all families used different spelling of the same surname, which makes it 
difficult to keep up with, plus the fact records have different spellings, I 
hope the method I had used will make it easier to find an individual.

As with MUNCY, MUNCEY, and MUNSEY, many individuals are found in records with 
several different spellings of the name. I am using MUNCY, or MUNCY/MUNCEY, or 
MUNCY/MUNSEY for those individuals who apparently used another spelling other 
than what their father used. Once family branches settled on one spelling you 
will find them listed as such.
