  • Notes 
    • Ref: Clan Munro files - Stroud, Anna Margaret

      Cornelius enlisted in his father's company in the British forces on 10 Oct 1778 to fight in the American Revolutionary War. In 1784, after the war ended, he went to L'Assumption.

      Cornelius Munro was serving as Sheriff of Cornwall in 1800 when his father's will was probated. He lived in the Cornwall vicinity most of his adult life. He hand wrote his own will in 1801 and had it witnessed by Thomas Fraser. He probably died in 1806 (at age of 38 ?) as there is a petition on file for 21 Jan 1807 for bond in the inventory of his Estate by his wife Frances Delisle Munro with co-signer Frederick Delisle of Cornwall (her brother ?).
