  • Notes 
    • Major John Munro is said to have succeeded his grandfather as minister of Farr, but he may be confused with John minister of Reay.

      Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - M/43

      "Mr Robert Munro of Coul minister of Kiltearn married Elizabeth daughter to Robert Laird of Fowlis by whom he had Major Hector Major John and two daughters one married to Scourys broyr. the other to Dunbar merchant at Inverness."

      John entered the army and went to the German wars. He attained the rank of Major and may have been killed in battle. Ref 1 says he appears to have been unmarried.
