- Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - M/81 & R/10
"Ferquhard Munro of Teanard married Janet daughter to Robert Munro of Ardullie by whom he had Wm. Hector and Hugh Catherine Isobell Margaret and Christan."
Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - M/82
"William of Teanard married Jean daughter to Hugh Minister of Tayne."
"For Hugh min of Tain see P/3; William later m Christian eldest dr of George of Culrain R/11 (FW 359, 377; Morrisons Dictonary 9200); dr Mary m Donald Munro, Balnacraig of Contilich, later Kilishie (FW 378, 400)."
William took a deep interest in all the parochial affairs of Kiltearn. He worked hard to get a minister settled in the parish as successor to the Rev. Hugh Campbell, who was transferred to Kilmuir-Wester (later renamed Knockbain) on 15 Feb 1721.
On 27 Mar 1727, William presented a petition to the Session of Kiltearn, "craving that he might be allowed to plant his seat in the same place which was formerly possest by his predecessors." The Session after consideration, pointed out that all the heritors had a particular interest in the disposition of the pews and seats, and appointed their clerk to issue circulars to all the heritors, requesting them to meet "sessionally here on the 24th of April next, in order to concert proper measures to that effect, when the requisite proportion of room belonging to every heritor may be likewise fully determined."
On 21 Aug 1727, David Bethune of Culnaskea, as proxy for William Munro of Teanoird, presented a petition to the session craving that Teanoird's seat should be "put in its own place which was enjoyed by his predecessors these several generations by past, and which is in a manner masterfully possessed by John Munro, tacksman of Kiltearn, against all justice and equity... and craving, seeing that the heritors of the parish are repairing their seats, that the heritors may be pleased to order the said John Munro to remove his seat and put it in its proper place." The Session referred the matter to the heritors.
On 18 Dec of the same year, William presented a third petition, requestion that "his seat be put in its proper place where it was before." John Munro also "gave in a petition for doing him justice with respect to his seat, submitting himself to the decretion of the heritors."
The heritors met on the same day and agreed upon the following arrangements: "1. That John Munro, tacksman of Kiltearn, his seat should be removed to the Easter gavel and and Teanaird's seat placed where it was before. 2. That the seat of Kiltearn be brought up close to join Teanaird's seat, and Culcairn's seat be made to come up to join close to the seat of Kiltearn, by which means the room of the seat of Balcony will be enlarged." This allocation of the seats was agreed to by all concerned and William was quite satisfied.
Apparently, William left no heirs and so the estate of Teanoird passed into the hands of Sir Harry Munro of Foulis.
