Notes:

The wife of David Munro of Meikle Allan was the daughter of John Davis of Whitehall (near Carrickfergus), and the granddaughter of Sir John Davis, attorney-general for Ireland.

One reference says "Captain D. Munro of Meikle Allan in the Earl of Rothes Horse was slain at the Battle of the Boyne." But he was dead by 1674.

He married a daughter of Davis of Whitehall and had issue'. But David was dead by 1674; his widow Marie Davis, mother of his son John, was living 1692, her father said to be John of Whitehall near Carrickfergus son of Sir John Davis (1569-1626) attorney-general for Ireland."

[Note: R. W. Munro says that David was dead by 1764 ("The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - (1978) - L/95) so he could not have been slain at the battle of Boyne in 1690.]
