On 5 Jun 1644, Hugh received from Sir Robert Innes of that Ilk, a charter of confirmation of the lands of Teaninich alienated to him by his father in 1624.

On 22 Dec 1649, he received at Elgin, a loan from James Farquhar, merchant of Aberdeen, in the amount of 5780 merks Scots. He was to repay the loan at the rate of 100 bolls per year with interest of 8%, delivering the goods free of charge to Alness beach between 1 Apr and 31 May each year. In security, Hugh put up all of his lands within the parish of Alness.

Hugh made the annual payments until the debt was reduced to 3756 pounds when James Farquhar insisted upon being paid the full amount. Since Hugh couldn't come up with the money, James pressured him to sell Teaninich. Hugh finally did sell his estate to his cousin, Hugh Munro of Tearivan.

Family/Spouse: MacKenzie. was born about 1614 in Of, Corry, Scotland; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Hugh of Tearivan succeeded his cousin as Laird of Teaninich. He appears to have been a man of much prudence and considerable means, and he added largely to the family possessions.

On 7 Jun 1650 at Chanonry, he sold some goods to James Farquhar, a merchant from Aberdeen.

On 20 Nov 1655, Hugh purchased the lands of Teaninich from his cousin, Hugh, who had gotten into debt and had to sell the estate. On 20 Feb 1660, he added the lands of Milton of Alness by purchasing them from Robert Gray of Arboll for just over 500 pounds. He also purchased other lands in the neighborhood from Farquhar Munro of Teanoird and others.

He did not conform to Episcopacy at first and he was one of the 47 persons in the Northern Counties who were fined for refusing to do so. He paid about 1200 pounds Scots to John Paterson, Bishop of Ross in Feb 1665, but by the end of the year he had taken the oath of allegiance. He soon returned to the Presbyterian fold, however, and became an active elder in the Parish Church of Alness.

According to the valuation roll of 1644, the total rents collected on Hugh's lands was about 440 pounds.

Hugh served as Collector of Customs of Inverness-shire and Commissioner for Supply for Ross in 1667 and 1685.

He lived to a very old age. On 7 Feb 1701, he signed a discharge at Milton of Alness which was witnessed by "Hugh Munro, Younger of Teaninich, my grandchild."

"Hugh's wife Janet was dr of Andrew Fearn of Pitcalnie."

Hugh's father lost the estate of Teaninich, but was able to retain Tearivan, which was passed down to Hugh.

He served as a witness to a contract between Hugh Munro of Teaninich and the heritor of Coul, Culcraggie, Fyrish, and Novar, dated at Alness in 1679.

Hugh married Janet Fearn on 28 Mar 1665 in Lochslinn, Scotland. Janet was born about 1614 in Of, Pitcalnie, Scotland; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Error alert: It is very hard to estimate Catherine's birth date and make any sense out of it. Catherine was the 4th great granddaughter of Hugh Munro, I of Coul. Her husband, John was the great grandson of the same Hugh Munro, I of Coul, so there is a difference of 3 generations between Catherine and her husband. Expanding the dates as much as possible in John's line and compacting them as much as possible in Catherine's line still leaves nearly 50 years difference in their ages. I'm leaving that age difference as it is until I get more accurate information.

David of Killichoan had son Robert (Invss Sasines); but see L/40n.

Killichoan (later renamed Mountrich) was situated on the west confines of the Parish of Kiltearn.

An entry in the Presbytery records of Dingwall dated 5 Sep 1682 states that David and his brother, Donald, profaned the Kirk of Killichrist by putting some oxen inside of it one night. The brothers appeared before the Presbytery and claimed that the cattle had simply wandered into the Kirk because it had no door. Witnesses were called who testified that the brothers had asked to used the Kirk for their cattle but were refused. Since it could not be proven that they had deliberately driven the cattle into the Kirk, the two were simply rebuked for having asked to use the Kirk for their cattle.

"Dr. Alexander was successively min at Dunfermline, Kinglassie and Wemyss, Prof of Divinity at St Andrews, and Principal of the University and min of the High Kirk of Edinburgh, arms recorded in Lyon Register, deposed 1690 and died 1698 (SHS Misc v 198-209); he m 1673 Anna Logan (d 1674) & 1676 Marion Collace (ib 209); children included Dr James (1680-1752) physician to Bethlem Hospital, London, through whom the family was carried on (Mackenzie 437, CMM iii 27-31)."

The fourth son of Hugh of Fyrish and Kildermorie was born in 1648 and was the first of the family to spell his name as MONRO. He was awarded a degree of M.A. from the Church at St. Mary's College, St. Andrews in 1669; was ordained in Holy Orders in 1673; made D.D. by his Alma Mater in 1682. Appointed Principal of University of Edinburgh in 1685 and served until 1689 when he resigned over differences in the monarchial sucession of William and Mary as he was an avowed follower of the Stuarts. He removed to London in 1691 and died in 1698 at age 50.

Rev. Alexander was twice married and father of nine children, although only two children - a son James and daughter, Elizabeth - survived to adulthood. James - born at Wemyss in 1680 - carried on the representation of the family. He was the renown Dr. James Monro, founder of a line of famous Monro physicians and other distinguished professional men.

Oct 1996

Alexander became the representative of the family upon the death of his three elder brothers, who died without sons, although Alexander does not appear to have succeeded to the hereditary property of Fyrish.

Alexander studied for the Church at St. Salvator's College, St. Andrews, where he graduated M.A. in 1664. In 1665, when only seventeen years old, he was persuaded by a relative, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Munro, to go abroad with him. He entered Lord Dumbarton's Regiment and accompanied it to France, where he was on active military duty for two and a half years. He then returned to Scotland and resumed his former studies for the Church at St. Mary's College, St. Andrews, and took his degree of M.A. in 1669.

At some point in his life, Alexander began writing his surname "Monro."

He entered into Holy Orders, and was ordained in 1673. On 7 Apr 1673, he was admitted to the second charge of the town and parish of Dunfermline. He was transferred to Kinglassie, county Fife, on 26 Mar 1676, and then to Wemyss on 26 Apr 1678 where he was presented by the Town Council of Edinburgh.

He received his D.D. in Feb 1682 and before Mar 1683, he resigned his charge at Wemyss because he had been nominated by Archbishop Sharp, the Chancellor, to the Professorship of Divinity at St. Mary's, which had changed its name to New College, St. Andrews. Alexander had been serving as Principal of the university 1682-1683.

On 9 Dec 1685, Alexander was appointed Principal of the University of Edinburgh, and on the same day he was nominated by the Town council to the Second or Collegiate Charge of the High Church of that city, to which he was inducted on 30 Dec 1685. Dr. Monro was to receive 2000 merks as Principal of Edinburgh University and 1600 merks as incumbent of the High Church, later renamed St. Giles.

A lengthy biography of Alexander can be found in ref 1.
