In 1587 he married, thirdly, Elizabeth, sixth daughter of Hugh Rose, X. of Kilravock (by his wife, Catherine, daughter of David Falconer of Halkerton), and widow of Walter Urquhart of Cromatry, to whom she was "contracted" on the 31st of August, 1579, with a "tocher of 2000 merks." The contract with Urquhart also states that she is to be infeft in the liferent of the lands of Little Suddie; the Sub-Chanter's croft within the Chanonry of Ross; Wester Balblair; Balakervie; Kinbreachie; nineteen roods of a field lying within the burgage of Rosemarkie; and the wester oxgang of Little Rhynie, within the Abbey of Fearn. She was Walter Urquhart's second wife, and at his death, in November, 1586, there was no surviving issue. By Munro she had one child, a daughter Margaret, who married Robert Munro, III. of Assynt in Ross, with issue.

Robert died in Jul, 1589, and shortly afterwards his widow married as her third husband John Cumming of Ernside, a cadet of the family of Altyre, in Morayshire, descended from John, third son of Sir William Cumming of Altyre.

John Cumming did not long survive his marriage with Munro's widow, and after his death she married as her fourth husband, William Gordon of Carnborrow, afterwards of Rothiemay; "by which husbands," the annalist of the Roses of Kilravock says, "there is none descended of her but Munro of Inveran and Achness, by a daughter."
