Notes:

Hugh of Tearivan succeeded his cousin as Laird of Teaninich. He appears to have been a man of much prudence and considerable means, and he added largely to the family possessions.

On 7 Jun 1650 at Chanonry, he sold some goods to James Farquhar, a merchant from Aberdeen.

On 20 Nov 1655, Hugh purchased the lands of Teaninich from his cousin, Hugh, who had gotten into debt and had to sell the estate. On 20 Feb 1660, he added the lands of Milton of Alness by purchasing them from Robert Gray of Arboll for just over 500 pounds. He also purchased other lands in the neighborhood from Farquhar Munro of Teanoird and others.

He did not conform to Episcopacy at first and he was one of the 47 persons in the Northern Counties who were fined for refusing to do so. He paid about 1200 pounds Scots to John Paterson, Bishop of Ross in Feb 1665, but by the end of the year he had taken the oath of allegiance. He soon returned to the Presbyterian fold, however, and became an active elder in the Parish Church of Alness.

According to the valuation roll of 1644, the total rents collected on Hugh's lands was about 440 pounds.

Hugh served as Collector of Customs of Inverness-shire and Commissioner for Supply for Ross in 1667 and 1685.

He lived to a very old age. On 7 Feb 1701, he signed a discharge at Milton of Alness which was witnessed by "Hugh Munro, Younger of Teaninich, my grandchild."

The following is a transcription of RW Munro's genealogy notes:

[Alexander Munro] «i»Only son of Hugh Munro of Ardullie (fl 1581/1599). Succeeded father; 'in Obsdale'; sold Ardullie to cousin Hugh (d.1659); m (1) ____ Keith, with issue - Hugh, John; m(2) Agnes Tarrell, with issue - George, Alexander, Robert, Catherine. Sale /purchase of Ardullie was in 1619 (Inverness Sasines). Alexander of Ardullie fl 1560, 1578, 1581 is presumably his grandfather; Mackenzie 306 mistakenly attached the nickname 'Cruachan' to the grandson, whereas it was clearly applied to grandfather in 'Tree' & 'Chron Acc'.
