| 4. | James Munro was born est 1713 (son of Andrew Munro, of Logie and Florence Munro); died in in Trinidad. Notes:
James served in the Army and went to America with his brother, Robert. They acquired large fortunes there. When the American Revolutionary War started, Robert joined the "rebels" and James remained loyal to the King.
James returned to Scotland and raised a battalion, chiefly among the members of his own clan. This was done with the understanding with the Government that the battalion would be incorporated into the British army, and that he would be repaid all the expenses he had incurred in raising it after the war was over.
He accompanied his battalion to America, was given the rank of Colonel and fought at its head with great distinction during the war. He was so well known for his bravery and daring that the rebels offered a price for his head, dead or alive.
After the war, Colonel Munro's battalion was disbanded, and the Government never reimbursed him as they had agreed. James was financially ruined.
He died in Trinidad at the age of 48.
