Family/Spouse: Janet McLean. Janet (daughter of Ferquhar McLean, of Dochgarroch) was born about 1482; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Donald and his five brothers were known as "Sliochd Alasdair mhic Huistain."

He was awarded an M.A. degree, but it is not known from what university. He entered the church and is first heard of professionally as Archdeacon of the Isles, to which office he was nominated in 1549.

In about 1549, Dean Munro made his famous tour of the Isles and wrote his well-known "Description of the Western Isles of Scotland, with genealogies of the Chief Clans of the Isles." His manuscript was subsequently published in Edinburgh in 1744, with reprints in 1805, 1818, and 1884.

He is mentioned in a Register of Ministers, published by the Maitland Club, as "Mr Donald Munro, Commissioner to plant Kirks in Ross, and to assist the Bishop of Caithness in similar planting to begin at Lammas, 1563." He remained in this office of Commissioner to plant kirks for several years, at least until 1574.

On 27 Dec 1563, the General Assembly received a complaint that Donald was "not so apt to teach as his charge required." At that time several ministers were "ordained to take a trial of his gift, and to report to the Assembly."

On 28 Jun 1565, he complained that the Ross-shire ministers were not in residence at their kirks.

In Jul 1570, he was given an assistant because he was "not prompt" in the Gaelic language.

In 1574 he was serving as the minister of Limlair, of Alness, and of Kiltearn, "at a stipend equal to 5 pounds 11 shillings and the church lands."

Tradition records that the Dean lived at Castle Craig, facing Kiltearn, on the south side of Cromerty Firth, which he crossed in a boat on Sundays to preach alternately at his three churches of Kiltearn, Limlair and Alness.

It has been said that Donald may have first been a priest of the Catholic Church, but became a Protestant in middle age because of the influence of his relative and Chief, Robert Munro, fifteenth Baron of Foulis, but this is not consistent with the ecclesiastical offices which he held early in life.

He was Archdean of the Isles, Superintendent of Ross and Minister of Kiltearn. Buchannan called him "Homo pius et Doctus." He died unmarried.

Notes:

Ferquhar Munro of Teanard and his five brothers were known as "Sliochd Alasdair mhic Huistain." Teanard formed the north or upper half of the lands of Kiltearn and Ferquhar sometimes appears as portioner of Kiltern.

His wife was the daughter of McGillespick, rentaller of Fyrish.

Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - M/38, M/71, M/76

Alexander Munro of Kiltearn married a daughter of Ferquhar McLean of Davochgerrie by whom he had Mr Donald Hugh Alexr. of Ardulli John of Kiltearn Ferquhar of Teanard William of Culcraigie all considerable families flourishing in several Branches.

...sons of Alexander son of Hugh Donald, Hugh, Alexander, John, Farquhar, William. This group were known as Sliochd Alasdair mhic Huistain.

John was portioner of Kiltearn having the south of nether half while brother Farquhar M/76 had north or upper half...

Ferquhar of Teanard his 4 son married Anne daughter to McGillespick Rentaller of ffyrish by whom he had Williamd and Alexander and a daughter fflorence married to Dingwall Bailzie of Dingwall.

Teanaird formed north or uper half of lands of Kiltearn and Farquhar sometimes appears a portioner of Kiltearn (FW 140, 255, 300). Mackenzie 400-1 sometimes confuses this Farquhar with grandson M/78.

Farquha rbought the lands of Milntown of Alness from Robert Gray of Arboll for 4000 Scots merks on 7 Jun 1650. He sold this property on 5 Mar 1666 to Hugh Munro of Teaninich for the same amount.

Hugh was an elder of the Kiltearn Parish.

Notes:

William followed the example of his uncle, the Archdeacon, and joined the Presbyterian Church of Scotland.

In various documents he is called "Mr. William, Parson of Cullicudden" and "William Monro, Hucheonson," or Hugh's son. He served as Reader at Cullicudden 1574-1578 with a stipend of 20 merks and the kirklands of that parish. He was also Reader at Rosskeen and Nonikiln, with 20 merks of stipend.

The position of Reader was then a new office, and consisted only in reading the Scroptures without the power of administering the Sacraments. The position was abolished by the General Assembly of 1581.

William was presented to the parsonage of Cullicudden by King James VI, on 1 Dec 1581, on the death of his predecessor, Rev. David Dunbar. He continued in that office until 1607 or 1614. He was also a Canon in the Cathedral of Ross.

Cullicudden and the ancient parish of Kirkmichael were later joined to form the parish of Resolis.

William died before 1614.

Notes:

This might be the same person as John [747].

On 4 Feb 1597, a disturbance took place at Logie-Riach, on the banks of the river Conon, between the Mackenzies on the one hand and the Baynes and Munros on the other, in which John and his brother, Hugh, were slain.

Some difference arose between a desperado, John MacGilliechallum, a brother of the Laird of Raasay, and the Baynes about the lands of Torridon, and the latter obtained a decree against John MacGilliechallum, interdicting him from going on his lands or molesting his people.

Soon after this, Bayne attended the Candlemas market then held at Logie, with a large following of armed men, composed of Baynes and a considerable number of Munros. MacGilliechallum came to the fair too, as was his custom, and while buying some article at a chapman's stall, Alastair Mor Bayne came up behind him and without any warning struck him on the head with a two-edged sword, killing him instantly.

One of the Mackenzies, to whom MacGilliechallum was related, interfered, but he no sooner opened his mouth, than he was run through the body by one of the Baynes. The alarm and the news of the death of the two men immediately spread through the market. "Tulloch Ard," the war cry of the Mackenzies was instantly raised, whereupon the Baynes and the Munros took to their heels--the Munros eastward to the Ferry of Foulis and the Baynes northward to the hills, both followed by a band of the infuriated Mackenzies, who slaughtered everyone they overtook.

Ian Dubh Mac Choinnich Mhic Mhurchaidh of the Clan Mhurchaidh and Ian Gallda Mac Fhionnla Dhuibh, two gentlemen of the Mackenzies, were on their way from Chanonry when they met with a batch of the Munros flying in confusion in that direction, and the pair having learned the cause of the flight to be the murder of their two friends at Logie, they pursued the fugitives and slew no less than thirteen of them between Logie and the wood of Millechaich.

Hector studied for the church at the University of St. Andrews, where he earned his M.A. in 1610. In 1614, he was appointed minister of Edderton.

He owned the estate of Meikle Daan in the same parish, which he acquired from his brother-in-law, Andrew Munro of Daan and Limlair.

He was one of the Commissioners from the Presbytery of Tain at the famous General Assembly which met at Glasgow on 21 Nov 1638, when Prelacy was abolished and its Bishops excommunicated. He was listed there as "Mr. Hector Munro in Nether Tayne."

In 1644, he took over as minister of the neighboring parish of Kincardine, Easter Ross, and he appears to have conformed to Episcopacy or to have been one of the indulged Presbyterian ministers of that period.

Alexander, the 'poet preacher' of Durness in Sutherland whose Gaelic translations of Bible passages were long remembered as 'Sandy Munro's verses', had taught in Strathnaver.
Alexander served as minister of Durness 1620-1633. It is said that when Alexander began his ministry, that the people were almost heathens, but that he had great success in reforming them.

He translated large sections of the Bible into Gaelic including the four Gospels and most of the Psalms. He also turned many Bible verses into rhyme, which became known as Sandy Munro's verses. He also composed several original Gaelic poems.

He died before 22 Dec 1653.
