    Sir Robert, his son Robert Munro, "yr. of Fowlis, Member of Parliament"; George Munro of Culrain, George Munro of Culcairn, Andrew Munro of Westertown, George Munro of Newmore, Hugh Munro of Teaninich, Hector Munro of Novar, John Munro, yr. of Novar, Alexander Munro of Kilchoan, Farquhar Munro of Teanoird, Hugh Munro of Ardullie, and Hugh Munro of Kiltearn, are among "the considerable persons of the shires of Ross and Sutherland," who signed an address to George I. in December, 1714, imploring his Royal mercy for Simon Lord Lovat on his return from France at the instigation of Major James Fraser of Castleleathers.

    Farquhar took much interest in the affairs of his native parish. His name appears frequently in the session records of Kiltearn and the Presbytery records of Dingwall. On 15 Mar 1708, the Session delivered the mortcloth of the parish into his custody, with directions to keep an account of those who used it outside the parish, and to collect the dues. This was apparently no easy task, and on 22 Jan 1710, the Session made the following entry: "The Session considering there is so much owing of the product of the mortcloth as may relieve the straits of the Godly poor within the parish, it's appointed that the clerk draw a precept upon Teanaird, Collector of the Mortcloth dues, for supplying the needs of the poor foresaid."

    Farquhar died before 26 may 1721.
