Error alert: There is quite a bit of confusion about this part of the family. Mackenzie says this Andrew was named David and was the son of Andrew Monro, who was the son of William Monro I of Meikle Allan. The Munro Tree says this Andrew was the son of Donald who was the son of William Monro I of Meikle Allan. R. W. Munro says this Andrew was the son of William Monro I of Meikle Allan. Compare R. W. Munro cards 341 and 378.

I.
