"Mr John Munro of Fearn by Urquhart of /illegible/ daughter he had John Andrew and George and a daughter Christane..."

"Andrew was killed at Statine for beating a Burgess there."
"Andrew executed at Stettin 1631 was 'Capt Andrew Monro Ferne he Sonne' - Ross and Mackenzie confuse him with nephew Andrew."
Andrew entered the army and went with Robert Munro of Foulis to the German wars. He proved his valor several times in battle, especially at the siege of Fraile-Sound, where he was wounded and left with a lame left arm.
One night in a fit of passion, he maltreated a surgeon within his own house. He was found guilty of His Majestys articles and discipline of war, and sentenced to be executed. The Duchess of Pomerew and other noble ladies petitioned strenuously to spare his life, and the surgeon forgave the incident, but the execution was carried out at Stettin on orders from the Governor, who was described as a churlish Swede, who would not remit the satisfaction due to his Majesty and justice.
Ref. (1) confuses Andrew with his nephew, Andrew.
