John Munro, of Kiltearn

Notes:

John accompanied his chief to the German wars, where he died of a "burning fever." Colonel Robert Munro wrote of him, saying that he was "alive without fear before his enemy, and of a merry and quick disposition...He lived virtuously and died with far more credit than if he had died at home."
