• Notes

  Ref: "History of the Munros" by A. Mackenzie - p. 154 Sir Hugh had a natural son, George, to whom his sister Mary Seymour Munro bequeathed the property of Milntown. He, on his death, left it in trust to the Corporation of Perth, who obtained authority from Parliament to sell it to William Matheson, farmer of Newton, parish of Kiltearn, for the sum of 7000 pounds. Mr Matheson a few years ago sold Milntown to Major Jackson of Swordale. It pays a feu duty of 4 pounds 10 shillings 0 pents to Sir Hector Munro of Fowlis, the superior of the lands. George on his death was interred in the same grave as his half-sister, Mary Seymour Munro. Nearly all the family papers, and Sir Harry's valuable manuscripts, were removed by this George to his sister's residence at Perry-Hill, Sydenham, and were there wontonly destroyed.
