"Alexr. of Killichoan married Janet daughter to Mr John McGilligin of Alnes by whom he had John David Robert Christane Janet and Margaret."

Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - M/85

"John of Killichoan married Margaret daughter to Mr. William McBeath next Margaret daughter to Kenneth McKenzie in Inchvannie and has /blank/."

"John of Killichoan d Mch 1769 (D J Gordon's MS notes) and family included 2 drs by first marriage and by second son George of Killichoan d 1778 (ib)."

John was an elder in the Church of Kiltearn and a Justice of the Peace for the county of Ross.

Ref 1 differs from "The Munro Tree" in the identity of John's children. "The Munro Tree" says he had two daughters by his first wife, and one son by his second. Ref 1 says he had one son by his first wife, and no children by his second. All the children mentioned in both references have been included here, but there may be errors.

Alexander was an elder in the Kiltearn Church for many years. On 14 Jun 1708, the Session instructed him to "deal with the generality of the people of Killichoan absent from church, to attend the ordinances on the Sabbath day, with certification that if they continue in that Godless practice they would be obliged to answer the Session and be censured accordingly." On 20 Feb 1710, he and his uncle, Donald, were appointed to keep the Session informed as to those in their locality who did not regulary attend church.

David of Killichoan married Margaret daughter to Rory McKenzie of ffairburn by whom he had Alexr. John William &c.

David of Killichoan had son Robert (Invss Sasines); but see L/40n.

Killichoan (later renamed Mountrich) was situated on the west confines of the Parish of Kiltearn.

An entry in the Presbytery records of Dingwall dated 5 Sep 1682 states that David and his brother, Donald, profaned the Kirk of Killichrist by putting some oxen inside of it one night. The brothers appeared before the Presbytery and claimed that the cattle had simply wandered into the Kirk because it had no door. Witnesses were called who testified that the brothers had asked to used the Kirk for their cattle but were refused. Since it could not be proven that they had deliberately driven the cattle into the Kirk, the two were simply rebuked for having asked to use the Kirk for their cattle.

John was born out of wedlock, but was legitimized in 1625. He was made Burgess of Edinburgh in 1620. He purchased Culcraggie from his cousin and was then known as John Munro, 1st of Culcraggie.

His wife was the daughter of Muire, Burgess of Kirkcaldie.

John was made Burgess of Edinburgh in 1620. He was an illegitimate son of Andrew Munro of Kincraige, but was legitimated in 1625.

John was called "Burgess of Edinburgh" when he purchased the estate of Culcraggie and an army commission from his distant cousin, Hector Munro. At that time, the estate included Culmellachie, Culcraggie and Acharn. John also purchased other lands contiguous to his property.

Ref. (1) says John married Margaret, daughter of Andrew Munro of Balaldie. R.W. Munro says this is incorrect.

John died before 15 Feb 1655.
