| Notes |
- Mrs. Munro was married first in Britain to Donald Munro, a British officer. After she was widowed, she and her son were brought to America under the charge of a second Donald Munro who was also a British officer in the same regiment as her first husband. She and this second Donald Munro were later married.
Ref: Clan Munro files - Munro, James Donald
!In the Memoir of Sarah Harriet Munro Fitton a note is made of John Munro's
"brother" (actually brother-in-law) Donald, who came to America with the 60th Regiment for the Revolutionary War and married a sister of John Munro "who had come to America in his protection" (1774 ) accompanied by her young son, Hugh Munro and a daughter. She was then a widow; her previous husband having been a "brother officer" of Donald's.
"Donald Munro born c. 1740; married 27 July 1774 at New York City 1st Presbyterian Church Margaret Munro, widow of another Donald who died in England, a British officer. She was brought to America with a son Hugh by this Donald who married her. He was of the same Regt. as her deceased husband. Son Hugh became Judge Munro of Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada." THE MONROE BOOK by Joan Guilford, 1993 Genealogy Pub.;Franklin, NC; Pg 574.
In the passenger listing of the Brig St. Peter, on transporting Loyalist settlers to Paspebiac, Qaspe' Peninsula, Quebec in 1784 were listed:"Donald Munro with wife and 1 daughter (age 13); Hugh Munro, single."
When Donald Munro signed his will (written 1814, shortly before death) he designated as his "sole surviving heir" Hugh Munro, his "step-son". There is no mention of either wife or daughter, so they must have preceeded him in death.
Although "the sister of John Munro" is mentioned in several references pertaining to Loyalists and the Revolutionary War, none of them list her by christian name.
