Ref: "History of the Munros" by A. Mackenzie (1898) - p. 276-277
Janet, who married John Murray of Pulrossie, with issue--1, George, and 2, John. In 1579, or some time previously, John Murray granted "to his wife Janet Munro, the daughter of the deceased George Munro of Dauchcarty, and in heritage to the heirs got between them, with reversion to John himself and his heirs, the lands of Pulrossie and the lands of Floid, lying in the Earldom of Sutherland and Sheriffdom of Inverness," and in the same year James VI. confirmed the grant. Murray died in 1599 when his son George was served heir in the lands of Spinningdale, with the mill, Achany, Floid, and Pulrossie, all "in the lordship, of the old extend of 14 pounds 13s 4d." ("Origines Parochiales Scotiae," vol. ii. pp. 187-88.) George Murray appears again on record in 1613, "as having or pretending to have a right to the lands of Farr." On the 4th of June, 1616, he is a member of the assize which served John eighteenth Earl of Sutherland as heir to his father John.
