**********
Andrew Munro in Coul, litster, learned the dyeing trade in Holland with his brother, Hugh. After the Revolution, they won an army contract.
He settled at Coul in Alness parish in 1716. He was probably the compiler or sponsor of a genealogy showing his family's descent from Hugh Munro of Coul [2763].
His second wife, Kate, was the daughter of John Beaton of Culnaskeath. Andrew and Kate had three daughters in addition to the children listed.
Ref: The Munro Tree (1734) - M/52
Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - M/52
"Robert of Ardullie married Isobell daughter to Alexr. Ross of pitkery by whom he had Alexr. James Hugh Andrew in Coul litster and Robert and a daughter Janet married to Teanard."
"...Andrew m 1 Ann Ogg and had Alexander and James then Kate Beaton dr of John of Culnaskeath and had John, Robert, Hector, William, Hugh and 3 drs..."
Andrew joined his brother, Hugh, in Holland to learn the textile dyeing trade. When they secured King William's contract for dyeing the cloth for army uniforms, they returned to Edinburgh.
Later, Andrew returned to his native county of Ross and settled for a few years at Contin. From there he moved to Balintraid, Kilmuir-Easter, and then to Delny and then to Aldie, near Tain. In about May 1716, he moved to Coul, near Alness.
He was an elder in the Alness church during part of the ministry of Rev. Daniel Mackillican. At a meeting of the Presbytery of Dingwall on 24 Apr 1717, it was reported that the congregation had chosen Andrew, ruling elder, to represent the the Parish at the next meeting of the Synod of Ross.
For several years he acted as factor for Albert Munro of Ferrytown and Coul.
It is believed that Andrew was the author of the Coul Munro manuscript, a valuable genealogical document.
