2. Hector, who received the lands of Drummond, parish of Kiltearn, as his patrimony. Hector was a man of strong religious principles, and took a great interest in ecclesiastical affairs. He was for several years one of the principal elders in the Parish, and his name frequently occurs in the Session Records of Kiltearn. On the 14th of July, 1707, the Session appointed "Hector Munro of Drummond and Gilbert Robertson in Balcony to agree with the workman that thacks the kirk, and appointed to furnish any material requirit for the said work." The kirk was thatched with heather, and the Session appointed "each oxgate in the parish to carry to the thatching of the kirk ane load of hather, two rungs, and four woodies"; and David Samuel, kirk officer, was requested "to warn the severall tennants in the parish to lead in the same hather, with certification that the deficients shall pay ten shillings Scots for each load of hather that is wanting." On the first of March, 1708, "Hector Munro of Drummond and Captain George Munro of Culcairn were apointed a Comittee by the Session to examine in Session minutes the collections for the poor, what their spent may be and how they were disbursed from the time of the last distribution to the date of these presents." On the 1st of May, the same year, Hector Munro of Drummond, Fowlis, Culcairn, Captain Munro of Westerton, and George Munro in Limlair, were appointed "to examine anent the deliquents' fines." Hector died shortly afterwards and was buried in Kiltearn Churchyard, in a spot he had "chosen, 16 feet square, for a burial place to himself and his family, benorth the entry to the churchyard from the west."

Notes:

Robert was the second son of Colonel John Munro of Obsdale. Because he did not expect to inherit, he entered the army early in life. In 1626 he became an officer in Sir Donald Mackay's regiment, serving with it first in the Danish service, and afterwards in that of Sweden.

Sir Robert highly distinguished himself on the Continent during the Thirty Years' War. He returned home soon after, if not shortly before, the Peace of Westphalia was proclaimed by the Treaty of Munster, on 24 Oct 1648.

On 26 Aug 1643, during the minority of the former Chief, Robert Munro, Tutor of Foulis, was appointed Commissioner of War for the Sheriffdom of Sutherland and a part of Inverness-shire. He was appointed again on 24 Jul 1644.

Sir Robert served heir to his father, Colonel John Munro of Obsdale, after the death of his elder brother, John. He became tutor-at-law to his second cousin, Hector in 1639 when he, himself, reached 25 years of age. In 1651 when Sir Hector Munro of Foulis died, Sir Robert was the nearest male heir, so he succeeded and became the 21st Baron and 3rd Baronet of Foulis.

Before he succeeded to Foulis, he married his cousin, Jean, eldest daughter and co-heir of Colonel Sir Hector Munro, 1st Baronet.

On succeeding as head of his house and clan he took up his residence in his ancestral home at Foulis. He was the means of getting the famous Rev. Thomas Hogg to Kiltearn, and suffered much from fines and imprisonment for non- conformity to Episcopacy. As long as Mr. Hogg lived, Sir Robert sent him his share of the stipend of Kiltearn annually.

In 1649, the Scottish Parliament divided the Sheriffdom of Inverness-shire and erected the Sheriffdom of Ross. Sir Robert had been elected Member of Parliament for Inverness-shire in 1649 and for his own County of Ross after it was separated from the County of Inverness that same year. He was also appointed the first Sheriff of the County of Ross. He held office for eight years under the Commonwealth.

In 1654 he was imprisoned by the royalists and his lands and tenants suffered under their hands. The lands of Foulis were taken from him and granted to others. He was fined 3600 pounds at the Restoration.

He died 14 Jan 1668 at Foulis Castle and was buried at Kiltearn. (Ref. (2) is in error when it says he died in 1666. Ref. (1) cites a document which proves him to be alive in Sep 1667.)

He was succeeded by his son, Sir John, in 1676 when the lands of Foulis were returned to his possession.

2. Jean, who married her cousin, Robert Munro of Obsdale, who ultimately succeeded his brother-in-law as third Baronet and Chief of the clan.

He married, before he succeeded to Fowlis, his cousin Jean, eldest daughter and co-heir of Colonel Sir Hector Munro, first Baronet, with issue--

He [Sir John Munro of Foulis] was present along with his mother, the Dowager-Lady Munro of Fowlis, in her house at Obsdale, near Alness, in September, 1675, when the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was dispensed by Mr John Mackillican, minister of Alness, assisted by the Rev. Hugh Anderson of Cromarty, and Alexander Fraser of Daviot. Sir Roderick Mackenzie of Findon at the instigation of Bishop John Paterson of Ross, sent a party of soldiers to apprehend Mr Mackillican, but before their arrival the communicants had dispersed themselves and concealed the ministers.
