      Error alert: There is some confusion as to Alexander's identity. If Alexander's estimated birth date is anywhere close to being correct, he couldn't have witnessed a contract in 1666. See RW Munro's notes below.

      **********
      The following is a transcription of RW Munro's genealogy notes:

      [Alexander Monro] «i»Younger son of Farquhar Monro (of Teanaird family).; witness to contract of 1666. (Mackenzie confuses father with earlier Farquhar, his grandfather.) this may really be Alexander, son of William of T. & elder bro. of Farquhar of T.

      [Not in Munro Tree (M/78)] - but see M/80; Mackenzie, 400 - 1666 contract from Teaninich papers prob. refers to next Farquhar (p. 400) - but perhaps the whole thing is a misreading of a document. «/i»
