| Notes |
- George entered the church and became Minister of Rosemarkie before 4 Oct 1642. He received an augmentation of his stipend on 22 Feb 1665.
George Munro was served heir to his father on 26 Jul 1649, receiving the manse, house, and croft of Suddie, which used to belong to the Chancellor of Ross. He also inherited the lands of Pitlundie.
King James VI gave him, for life, the Chaplainry of St. Laurence, called the Chaplainry of Elgin in the Cathedral of Moray, for his support and entertainment at the schools.
On 28 Aug 1666, he was present along with John Paterson, Bishop of Ross, at a meeting of the Presbytery of Dingwall, as one of the assessors from the Presbytery of Chanonry.
He eventually became the last Chancellor of the Diocese of Ross, apparently succeeding his grandfather.
He had arms recorded in the Lyon Register.
George died before 21 Sep 1686.
