Notes:

in about 1780, Sir George Gun Munro of Poyntzfield, Baronet of Nova Scotia purchased the estate of Ardoch in the Black Isle and renamed it Poyntzfield in honor of his wife.

One reference says he died in 1803. He was married but left no heirs. He was succeeded by his nephew, George Gun Munro of Braemore.

"The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - L/87

"John min of Halkirk d 19 Apr 1743 and by Janet Gun of Braemore had John Gun of Braemore who d May 1773, Sir George Gun Munro of Poyntzfield who d 1785, Robert, Henry of Granville Nova Scotia who d 1781, David and Janet. Mackenzie is confused and unreliable on this family."

George's wife, Charlotte, was quite wealthy. After they were married, he purchased the lands of Ardoch, in the parish of Resolis, county of Ross and renamed the estate Poyntzfield in her honor.

He spent large sums of money on the estate and was the first owner in the Black Isle to carry out agricultural improvements on a large scale by reclaiming, enclosing, planting, draining, liming, fallowing, and sowing green crops on his estate. He also planted fine trees in the policies around the Mansion-house of Poyntzfield.

He and his wife had no children, and upon George's death, the estate was inherited by George Gun Munro II of Braemore.

Notes:

Henry Munroe was commissioned first lieutenant of the first company in Mont- gomery's Highlanders, raised in Argyleshire for service against the French in America in 1759 or about that time. The regiment had scarcely arrived in Massachusetts when the Peace of Utrecht was signed, and the war with France was ended, in consequence of which it never saw any service in the field, and was soon disbanded. According to the terms of enlistment its officers were entitled to grants of land in Nova Scotia, and Henry Munroe received a grant of two thousand acres in that county in 1765. Some of his descendants were still occupying portions of it in 1897.

The Wood reference says that Henry was wounded in the expedition against Fort du Quesne (later renamed Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) in 1757, and that he saw other action until 1763.

In 1765, Henry had the honor to be chosen the first representative of Granville in the Assembly of the Province, in which he served two years, when he voluntarily vacated the seat. He was appointed Justice of the Peace, and commissioned a lieutenant colonel of the militia in or about 1776, a position which he continued to hold until his death, late in 1781 or early in 1782 when he died suddenly of apoplexy, leaving a widow and seven children with slender means of support, notwithstanding the large grant of land which he had secured on his arrival in the country some years before.

One of Henry's great-grandsons, Henry Munroe, also had the honour of a seat in the assembly as a representative of the county.

Ref 1 gives Henry the birthdate of Aug 1745, but this date must be in error because Henry was commissioned a first lieutenant in 1759 which would have been when he was 14 years old. Also, his father died in 1743.

Ref 5 says Henry was the son of John Gunn Munro and Elizabeth Sutherland. Other references place Henry as the brother of John Gunn Munro.

Ref 6 says Henry and Sarah were married about 1763.
