• Notes

  Ref: The Munro Tree (1734) L/92 Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - L/3 "Andrew Beg Munro of Miltown married Euffem Dunbar daughter to the Laird of Tarbet by whom he and George William of Meikle Allan and Andrew of Culanald and a naturall son called Thomas." Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - L/92 "William of Meikle Allan his 2d. son married a daughter of Mr Allan Morishon Brive of the Lewis by whom he had Donald Andrew and 3 daughters one married Manson Parson of Nig another Clynes in Cromarty." "Original MS hard to decipher and much altered on Allan family, but SRO Monro of Allan Papers help to clarify some doutful points. William is on record in 1541/2. Mackenzie 292-4 is confused and some dates impossible." Ref: "History of the Munros" by A. Mackenzie - p. 273, 292 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... William Monro died about 1580, when he was succeeded by his elder son, Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA
