| 6. | Rev. William Munro was born about 1542 (son of Hugh Munro, of Ferrytown, of Obsdale and Anne Morrison); and died. Notes:
William followed the example of his uncle, the Archdeacon, and joined the Presbyterian Church of Scotland.
In various documents he is called "Mr. William, Parson of Cullicudden" and "William Monro, Hucheonson," or Hugh's son. He served as Reader at Cullicudden 1574-1578 with a stipend of 20 merks and the kirklands of that parish. He was also Reader at Rosskeen and Nonikiln, with 20 merks of stipend.
The position of Reader was then a new office, and consisted only in reading the Scroptures without the power of administering the Sacraments. The position was abolished by the General Assembly of 1581.
William was presented to the parsonage of Cullicudden by King James VI, on 1 Dec 1581, on the death of his predecessor, Rev. David Dunbar. He continued in that office until 1607 or 1614. He was also a Canon in the Cathedral of Ross.
Cullicudden and the ancient parish of Kirkmichael were later joined to form the parish of Resolis.
William died before 1614.
