The following is from "Foulis Castle and the Monroes of Lower Iveagh" by Horace Monroe - Foreword

This book is an attempt to supply an omission in Alexander Mackenzie's work - "The History of the Munros of Foulis" - to which the writer of this memoir is much indebted. There is no mention in Mackenzie's book of the Irish branch of the family, nor even of that son of the Scotch house who became the progenitor of the Irish branch.

Major Daniel Munro of the house of Obsdale was a man of no small importance, and if "I sing of arms and of a man" I do so because upon this soldier of General Robert Munro's army the Irish branch of the family depends. Daniel Munro went with his brother, Robert Munro, and his nephew, George Munro, to Ireland in 1642. His is honourably named in the history of the long campaign which began in 1641, and his dispatch to the Marquis of Ormonde, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, dated 3 May 1649 is preserved in Trinity College, Dublin, while the public records of Ireland show that in 1666 lands in Lower Iveagh were granted to him for services rendered to the crown.

This third son of George Munro of Obsdale, the link between the Scotch and Irish Munros, is the son of the house of Foulis through whom the Monroes of Lower Iveagh claim their ancient origin.
