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'.

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.
