John Munro of Killichoan married the daughter of William McBeath. They had two daughters. His second wife was the daughter of Kenneth McKenzie in Inchvannie.

John was an elder in the Church of Kiltearn and a Justice of the Peace for the county of Ross.
Ref 1 differs from "The Munro Tree" in the identity of John's children. "The Munro Tree" says he had two daughters by his first wife, and one son by his second. Ref 1 says he had one son by his first wife, and no children by his second. All the children mentioned in both references have been included here, but there may be errors.

"Alexr. of Killichoan married Janet daughter to Mr John McGilligin of Alnes by whom he had John David Robert Christane Janet and Margaret."
Robert was a tenant of Clare. On 28 Mar 1711, he was "dilated" at a meeting of the Session for "fornication with Catherine Buie." There is no further reference to the matter in the records, but at a meeting of the Session on 17 Jun 1723, Mary Bain in Strathskea, "lately in Clare," stated that Robert was the father of her child. Robert strongly denied the allegation and the Session delayed further consideration of the matter until the next meeting and ordered all who had worked as Robert's servants for the two years that Mary lived in Clare, to be in attendance. The next meeting was held on 30 Mar 1724, but there is no mention in the minutes of Robert and Mary's case. It apparently collapsed.
Robert appears to have died unmarried.
