| Notes |
- Hector studied for the church at the University of St. Andrews, where he earned his M.A. in 1610. In 1614, he was appointed minister of Edderton.
He owned the estate of Meikle Daan in the same parish, which he acquired from his brother-in-law, Andrew Munro of Daan and Limlair.
He was one of the Commissioners from the Presbytery of Tain at the famous General Assembly which met at Glasgow on 21 Nov 1638, when Prelacy was abolished and its Bishops excommunicated. He was listed there as "Mr. Hector Munro in Nether Tayne."
In 1644, he took over as minister of the neighboring parish of Kincardine, Easter Ross, and he appears to have conformed to Episcopacy or to have been one of the indulged Presbyterian ministers of that period.
