• Notes

  Hugh Munro of Clynes probably died before his father. He left no male heirs so his lands fell to his brother, Hector Munro of Foulis. Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - R Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - R Robert Moir Munro Baron of Fowlis married Margaret daughter to Ogilvie of Finlater by whom he had 2 sons and 3 daughters 2d he married Catherin daughter to Alexander Ross of Balnagown and had 3 sons 4 daughters. ...by first marriage Robert had 3 sons, Robert who seems to have predeceased him, Hugh of Clynes (omitted here, but see FW 77, OPS ii 482, & Retours Ross and Crom 169), and Hector who succeeded to Foulis;...for drs see R/39. Ref: "History of the Munros" by A. Mackenzie - p. 46-47, 52, 55 By a charter dated at Scone on the 11th of July 1565, Robert Munro obtained from Sir James Spence, Chaplain of St. Lawrence, and Sir Alexander Douglas, Chaplain of St. Mary, both within the Regality of Spynie, the lands of "Mukle and Little Clynes, with the pertinents and milne thereof." The charter is subscribed by Patrick, Bishop of Moray; Sir James Spence, Sir Alexander Douglas, the Dean and Chaplain of Moray, and their respective seals are appended. The charter was to Robert in life-rent, and to his second son Hugh Munro and his heirs male, with remainder to Hector Munro his other son and his heirs male, and to Robert's own male heirs whomsoever, bearing the surname and arms of Munro. In 1584 James II. confirmed the charter by Sir James Spence and Sir Alexander Douglas in 1565, to "Robert Munro of Fowlis in liferent, and to his second son, Hugh Munro and his male heirs, with remainder to Hector Munro, his other son, and his male heirs, and to Robert's own male heirs whomsoever bearing the surname and arms of Munro. By Margaret Ogilvie Robert had issue-- 2. Hugh, mentioned as the "second son" in the charter of Meikle and Little Clynes in 1584. He, however, must have predeceased his brother Hector, without issue, for the latter in 1589 succeeded his eldest brother Robert.
