| Notes |
- George served as Commissioner of Supply for Ross in 1695 and 1704.
George took a great interest in the affairs of his native parish. He was an elder in Kiltearn, and worked with others to get a school built in the parish and to secure an income for a qualified schoolmaster. The first schoolmaster chosen was Robert Robertson, appointed on 27 May 1717.
On 21 Nov 1726, George reported to the Session the "indigent condition of Anna Munro, relict of the late George Munro in Knockankirn." The Session appointed a half boll of meal to be giver to her out of the funds of the mortcloth dues.
He possessed some lands in the parish of Alness, and was one of the Commissioners from the Presbytery of Dingwall to the General Assembly of 1727.
His last appearance in the minutes of the Session Records of Kiltearn was on 2 Sep 1728.
He sold Limlair to Dr. Duncan Munro in 1738 and probably died soon after.
