"Major George Munro of Achinbowie married Margaret daughter to Robert Bruce of Achinbowie by whom he had Alexander and George a Lieut. in Montagues Regiment."
"Major George of Bearcrofts later of Auchinbowie became Lt-Col and d c. 1721; son George..."

VI. GEORGE MONRO, second of Bearcrofts, who entered the Army, and acquired the rank of Major in an infantry regiment. He married Margaret, daughter of an heiress of Robert Bruce of Auchenbowie. In the garden at that mansion there is an old sun-dial with a carving of the arms of Monro and Bruce quartered, and having the initials G.M. M.B. cut upon it. They had issue--
1. Alexander, who seems to have died before his father.
2. George, who succeeded his father.
He married secondly, Ann, daughter of Sir Robert Stewart of Tilliecoultry, a Lord of Session, and uncle of Sir james, first Earl of Bute, with issue--
3. Robert.
4. Albert.
5. Hugh.
6. Cecil.
7. Margaret; and 8, Mary.
We are not at all clear about these marriages, and think there must have been another head of the house which is here missed out.
He died about 1760, when he was succeeded by his eldest son, VII. GEORGE MONRO,...
