Notes:

John was described as a person "sub mala fama". In 1729 he had been accused along with Archibald McNicoll, a smith, and Ann Roy McNicoll his sister, of stealing "an black cow belonging to the said John Campbell in upper Brenchelly and a brown cow belonging to the said Duncan McNokaird in there stolen from off the said lands of Brenchelly."

Previously, late in 1722 he was accused of stealing "ane large brown cow...from off the hill of Benbuy," and in December 1728, in the company of Archibald McNicoll, "did steall an brown coloured cow belonging to the said Bailie John Campbell". John Munro and the McNicolls were found guilty. He was sentenced to have "his right ear nailed to the gibbet at the hand of the common executioner and there to continue in that posture for one hour". He was also "banished furth of Great Britain never to return thereto under the pain of death" and allowed only 15 days to have transportation arranged.

At the time of his first reported crime (1722), John was living in the Bailliary of Sir James Campbell of Ardkinglass, whose factor had fined him 50 pounds Scots for the theft of McLaurine's brown cow from Benbuie.
