V. John Monro, who burdened the estate heavily with debt, having granted William Ross of Easter Fearn several wadsets over it. The late Elizabeth Leila Monro of Allan, writing to the Rev. Dr Gustavus Aird, of Creich, on the 24th of February, 1882, says that this John "covered the estate with debt--the various wadsets still to be seen with which he involved the place." He died unmarried, and was succeeded by his brother, VI. Joseph Monro,

[Note: R. W. Munro says that David was dead by 1764 ("The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - (1978) - L/95) so he could not have been slain at the battle of Boyne in 1690.]

IV. David Monro, who, born in 1640, entered the army, and was Captain of a regiment of horse raised by the Earl of Rothes, in which he served for some time in Ireland, where he was killed at the battle of the Boyne in 1690.

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.



Andrew's wife was Margaret (or Marion), daughter of John Ross of Little Tarrel.

"Andrew of Meikle Allan married Marion daughter to Mr John Ross of Little Tarrel by whom he had David and John and three daughters Christan Janet and Helen."

"Andrew's wife was Margaret and son John 'indweller in Bathgate'.

Andrew married Margaret Ross. Margaret (daughter of John Ross, of Little Tarrell and Christian Munro) was born est 1602; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
