Rev. Hector Munro, of Daan

Notes:

Hector studied for the church at the University of St. Andrews, where he earned his M.A. in 1610. In 1614, he was appointed minister of Edderton.

He owned the estate of Meikle Daan in the same parish, which he acquired from his brother-in-law, Andrew Munro of Daan and Limlair.

He was one of the Commissioners from the Presbytery of Tain at the famous General Assembly which met at Glasgow on 21 Nov 1638, when Prelacy was abolished and its Bishops excommunicated. He was listed there as "Mr. Hector Munro in Nether Tayne."

In 1644, he took over as minister of the neighboring parish of Kincardine, Easter Ross, and he appears to have conformed to Episcopacy or to have been one of the indulged Presbyterian ministers of that period.

Notes:

William followed the example of his uncle, the Archdeacon, and joined the Presbyterian Church of Scotland.

In various documents he is called "Mr. William, Parson of Cullicudden" and "William Monro, Hucheonson," or Hugh's son. He served as Reader at Cullicudden 1574-1578 with a stipend of 20 merks and the kirklands of that parish. He was also Reader at Rosskeen and Nonikiln, with 20 merks of stipend.

The position of Reader was then a new office, and consisted only in reading the Scroptures without the power of administering the Sacraments. The position was abolished by the General Assembly of 1581.

William was presented to the parsonage of Cullicudden by King James VI, on 1 Dec 1581, on the death of his predecessor, Rev. David Dunbar. He continued in that office until 1607 or 1614. He was also a Canon in the Cathedral of Ross.

Cullicudden and the ancient parish of Kirkmichael were later joined to form the parish of Resolis.

William died before 1614.
