| 6. | George Munro, Of Newmore was born about 1665 in Of, Newmore (son of Hugh Munro, Of Newmore and Helen Leslie); died in Jun 1731. Notes:
George Munro of Newmore married the daughter of Duncan Forbes of Culloden. She was the sister of President Forbes.
George was Commissioner of Supply for Ross in 1689, 1690 and 1704.
George Munro of Newmore was among "the considerable persons of the shires of Ross and Sutherland," who signed an address to King George I in Dec 1714, imploring his Royal mercy for Simon Lord Lovat on his return from France at the instigation of Major James Fraser of Castleleathers.
In 1715, Lord Seaforth sent a message to Munro of Foulis, the Earl of Sutherland and Lord Reay, demanding hostages to assure that the Earl and Foulis would not trouble his country in his absence in the South. The message said he would attack in two days if the hostages were not forthcoming.
A council of war was held, in which Foulis and his friends were for fighting, but the Lords were against it because of the size of Seaforth's force. George of Newmore answered that though they had superior numbers, it was their duty to fight them. He felt that they had a chance to beat them, and even if they didn't win the battle, they would probably scatter them so much that they would not be able to swiftly reassemble.
Contrary to Newmore's advice, the Lords marched off with their men to Bonar Bridge while the rest of the army went off to their homes. The next day, Seaforth took possession of their camp. They remained there for a few days until Lord Duffus went to Tain and proclaimed the pretender there.
He died Jun 1731 (ref. (1)) or 1737 (ref. (2)).
