Notes

BIO:HORACE MUNRO OF ST. ESPRIT AND MONTREAL

BIO:Horatio (as he was commonly known) also had a brief career with the Hudson Bay Company. The Hudson Bay Archives lists him as an apprentice clerk, age 20 with 3 years service and a contract that expires in 1825 (dated 1823 ?) which would indicate that he had initially signed a five or seven year indenture in or before 1820. (He would have been 16 years old in 1820.) He is listed as having been at Lac-la-Pluie in 1821-22 and at Rocky Mountain House in 1822-23. (Saskatchewan River) (B/60/d/12, P83)

BIO:In the 1822-23 Carlton House Journal by Peter Pruden are the following enties pertaining to Horatio Munro: (HBC Arch B27/1/12)

TBL:June 5 "...In the evening Mr. Munro arrived with horses from Edmonton..." June 11 "Mr. Pruden, Mr. Herriott & Munro went hunting up the river, with a
boat, & a party on hoseback." June 25 "..Mr. Munro returned with the four men from the Pines having finished
the work they were required to execute." July 28 "Sent Mr. Munro with 4 men in a boat down to Cumberland House with
provisions." Sept 10 Entry from Bow River "Mr. Munro arrived with letters from the S
Branch." Oct 3 "..Colin Robertson Esq and Mr. Horatio Munro from Fort William arrived
this morning in a boat with 6 men from York.." Oct 5 "Mr. Munro from Fort William started for Edmonton with a boat and 6
men..." (Arrived at Norway House Sept 4 & left Norway House Sept 8 -
HBC Arch B154/a/10) 1823 May 27 "The craft arrived from Edmonton on board which was Mr Herron Weekes
Mason & Munro & Dechambault.."

TBL:EDMONTON HOUSE JOURNAL 1822-23 BY Richard Grant (HBC Arch B 60/a/21) Oct 15 Arrival of Colin Robertson to take charge of the Department Nov 7 "..About 3 POM Messrs Ranald McDonald & Munro with 2 men and 4 horses
took their departure for the Rocky Mountain House where it is intended
they will pass the winter." Dec 21 "...About 4 PM Messrs Manson, Douglas and Munro accompanied by one
european and 8 Canadians & 2 Blackfeet Indians arrived from the South
Branch (or Bow River) with letters from the Gentlemen in charge of
that place." Dec 25 Mr. Robinson gave a dance and again on Jan 1st. 1823 Jan 6 "Sent Mr. Munro & 2 men with meat to be left at the white mud for Mr.
Robinson's Men and dogs that are to go to the Mountain House - in a
very short time, Mr. Munro and one of the men are to wait there until
Mr. R goes up as they are to go with him also." Jan 7 Mr. Robinson left for R.M. House. Jan 21 Colin Robertson and his party returned from Mountain House. May 8 Messrs LaRocque* & Munro arrived from Rocky Mountain House May 19 ".. At 4 PM Messrs Herron, Munro, Deshambault and Grant took their
departure on board of two of the company's boats going to the York
Factory with part of the returns of this place & the Mountain House.."
*Possibly Joseph LaRocque - older half-brother of Hugh and Horatio Munro.

BIO:Horace was the only full brother of Hugh Jr., and was born when Hugh was five years old. Horace was the ninth of the ten children born to Angelique and Hugh Munro. From Hudson Bay Records it is apparent that he followed Hugh into Company service before 1820. Since he appears to be a farmer with a family in the St. Esprit area at the time of his father's death in 1825, one would conclude that he left the service at the end of his indenture that year. The last church entry for his family in the St. Esprit Parish are dated 1827-8. Later his family records appear in the Catholic church recordings of Montreal.

BIO:Only his older brother, Hugh Jr. is mentioned in the will of Capt. Hon. John Munro, his grandfather, dated April 1800, as Horace was not born until 1804. However, when the estate of his grandfather was finally settled, and the land was to be distributed, Hugh Jr, in the far off Blackfoot country, signed a Power of Attorney and the land was awarded to Horace.

BIO:BIRTHDATE: Baptismal records of St. Surplice Catholic Church, L'Assumption de Montcalm, Quebec. Mf #1018241
