• Notes

  William succeeded his aunt, Mary, as Munro of Newmore. He married Margaret, daughter of William Grant of Balnaspardan, Morayshire, a "pious woman." William not only owned Newmore but also the estates of Balintraid and Balnaga. He is described as "a foolish man," and endless stories regarding his eccentricities circulated throughout his native parish. He died in 1802 and was succeeded by his cousin, Charles Ross.
