David Monro, of Allan

Notes:

The wife of David Munro of Meikle Allan was the daughter of John Davis of Whitehall (near Carrickfergus), and the granddaughter of Sir John Davis, attorney-general for Ireland.

One reference says "Captain D. Munro of Meikle Allan in the Earl of Rothes Horse was slain at the Battle of the Boyne." But he was dead by 1674.

Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - L/94

"Andrew of Meikle Allan married Marion daughter to Mr John Ross of Little Tarrel by whom he had David and John and three daughters Christan Janet and Helen."

Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - L/95

"David Munro of Meikle Allan married a daughter to Davies of Whitehall by whom he had John Andrew and Joseph."

"This version from Teaninich and Culcairn copies has been preferred to the original MS, which is overwritten to read: 'Captain D Munro of Meikle Allan in the Earl of Rothes Horse was slain at the Battle of the Boyne. He married a daughter of Davis of Whitehall and had issue'. But David was dead by 1674; his widow Marie Davis, mother of his son John, was living 1692, her father said to be John of Whitehall near Carrickfergus son of Sir John Davis (1569-1626) attorney-general for Ireland."

Ref: "History of the Munros" by A. Mackenzie - (1898) - p. 293-294

[Note: R. W. Munro says that David was dead by 1764 ("The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - (1978) - L/95) so he could not have been slain at the battle of Boyne in 1690.]

IV. David Monro, who, born in 1640, entered the army, and was Captain of a regiment of horse raised by the Earl of Rothes, in which he served for some time in Ireland, where he was killed at the battle of the Boyne in 1690.

On his death in 1690, Captain David was succeeded by his eldest son, V. John Monroe,

Munro cards 341 and 378.

I. William Monro, born in 1535, and first of this family, was the second son of Andrew Beg Monro, III. of Milntown, by his wife, Euphemia, daughter of James Dunbar of Tarbat and Ballone Castle, Easter Ross, son of Sir James Dunbar of Westfield, county of Moray. William received as his patrimony the lands of Meikle Allan, parish of Fearn, which known as the Maordom of Allan, belonged at the Reformation wholly or in part to the Bishoop of Ross, who includes them in the rental of the bishopric returned between 1561 and 1566, to the Collector of Thirds. In 1569 James VI. granted to Andrew Beg Munro, William's father, the escheat of all the goods upon the quarter lands of Meikle Allan, with the crops of that year, forfeited by John Leslie, Bishop of Ross, for treason and lese-majesty.

He had also several daughters, whose names have not come down to us, but one of whom married Bailie Clyne of Cromarty; another Finlay Manson...

The grant was confirmed by King James VI on 19 Mar 1580. He also had a grant of other lands in Ross-shire. In 1552, Queen Mary granted him the non-entry and other dues of half the "lands of Ferrincosque in Brachat," lying between the rivers Shin and Cassley, namely the half of Inveran, with the half of the mill, multures, and fishing, the half respectively of Linside, Alltbeg, and Achness, with the half of the fishing lying in Queen Mary's hands since "the redemption and lowsing tharof maid be Thomas Dingwall of Kildun, furth of the handis of George Munro of Dochcarty."
