Notes:

John studied for the church at the University of St. Andrew's, where he graduated M.A. in 1590. In 1591, he was a member of the General Assembly, and in 1599 was presented to the parish of Tain.

Among the emoluments of his charge of St. Duthus, Tain, were the Chaplainries of Newmore, Tarlogie, Cambuscurry, Morangie, and Dunskaith.

He served for several years as Sub-Dean of Ross, and was a distinguished member of the ministry.

In the discharge of his duties, he came into collision with King James VI, who, when he succeeded to the English throne, formed a scheme to effect a complete union between England and Scotland and their respective churches. He attempted to force the Presbyterian Church of Scotland into conformity with the Episcopal Church of England, and to prevent the General Assembly from thwarting his pet scheme, he interdicted its meetings.

Notwithstanding this interdict, a few Presbyteries, Tain included, deputed representatives to the Assembly. Nineteen ministers, one of whom was the Rev. John Munro, met at Aberdeen on 2 Jul 1605, and constituted the assembly. John was one of the three nominated for the Moderatorship on that occasion.

King James declared this assembly seditious and summoned the members to appear before the Privy Council to answer for their conduct.

Seventeen appeared, of whom ten submitted to their Lordships, and declared that they were now persuaded that the Aberdeen Assembly was "altogether unlawful." The remaining seven--one of them being the Rev. John Munro, Sub-Dean of Ross--asserted and firmly maintained, in the presence of their Lordships, that the Assembly was, on the contrary "a verie lawful General Assembly." The Council thereupon ordered these seven faithful ministers to be banished to the wildest parts of Scotland--each as far as possible from his own parish.

The Rev. John Munro was ordered to Kintyre, but was in the meanwhile imprisoned in Doune Castle, Perthshire. From this place he and another minister managed to escape, by the connivance of the constable of the castle, who strongly sympathized with them and afforded them every opportunity to communicate with their friends, and for this dereliction of duty, he was himself subsequently imprisoned.

On 24 Feb 1607, the Rev. John and thirteen others were charged to appear before the Privy Council. They did so on 20 May 1607, but before judgment was rendered, they slipped away to their homes. As a consequence, they were all declared rebels on 28 May and put to the horn.

John made his way to Tain, and resumed his ministrations there among his people. But the stipend, which had formerly been paid to him by the Crown authorities, was now withheld.

Matters continued in this state for three years, during which King James succeeded in putting down all effectual resistance to his will in the Scottish Church; and the General Assembly, while its most faithful men were silenced or absent, acquiesced in the King's proposals.

The King could not stand the continued opposition of even a few ministers, and he directed his Scottish Privy Council to take the necessary steps to compel their submission. The Council accordingly addressed a letter to the Provost and Bailies of Tain ordering them to take John into custody until he "purge himself of his rebellion."

There is no record describing John's life after this, but ref (2) gives documentary evidence that he lived at least until 1630, but probably died shortly thereafter. Ref (1) gives the death date of 9 Jan 1616.

"Robert of Teaninich married Janet daughter to Hugh Munro of Assint by whom he had Hugh George William and John and his 2d wife had Lieutenant Donald."

Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - M/11

"Hugh of Teaninich married Christane daughter to William Cuthbert of Castlehill by whom he had Hugh next he married Munro of Tarlogies daughter."

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.

Notes:

John served as Captain in the Danish Service then Lieutenant Colonel (Ref (2) says Captain) in Colonel Robert Munro of Obsdale's regiment under Gustavus Adolphus. He was serving as Colonel in the army of King Charles I when he was killed at the battle of Edgehill.

His is specially mentioned for the undaunted bravery he displayed at the skirmish of the Pass of Oldenburg, where a number of Munros fell. Colonel Munro, in his "Expedition", says of him that during the battle a barrel of powder accidentally exploded while the contents were being distributed to the soldiers. The enemy attempted to take advantage of the mishap and pressed to force the Pass. Captain John Munro and a few musketeers stood their ground and through their valor, forced the enemy to retire so that the Pass was cleared.

In 1628, John returned with a number of hisclansmen, having "Long David Munro as Lieutenant." His company, fully made up, quartered at Langland. About this time, he was promoted to the rank of Major, and in 1630 to that of Lieutenant Colonel. He commanded the regiment at the battle of Leipsic, and is honorably mentioned for his conspicuous bravery in that action.

On his return home, King Charles I gave him command of an infantry regiment and he was present at the battle of Edgehill. He was killed fighting bravely at the head of his regiment in that engagement.

He was apparently unmarried.

(The following is from "The Monroe Book" - by Dr. J. S. Guilford - p. 12)

«i»It is assumed that Robert did not survive. He was, after all, the uncle of John and Hugh and thus an older man. However, we believe that we have found him in Windsor, Connecticut as is shown by the following records published in Records of the Particular Court of Connecticut 1639-1663 (Conn. Hist. Soc. and Soc. of Colonial Wars in the State of Conn., 1928). On 1 March 1654/5, "Robrt Munroe Scotchman hauving Sould 2 quarts of Liquor to the Indyans Contrary to Law is adjudged to pay for the same according to the Law £20 & hee is to bee secured till the fine bee secured to this Comon wealth" (p. 140). On the first Thursday in March, 1665/6, "Robert Munroe Complaines of John Bissell for missdimenor in taking the lock from the seller dore whereby his liquors weare indangered if not indammaged" (p. 161). At the Quarter Courte in Hartford 5 June 1656. "Rob: Munrow plt. Contra Rich. Sexton defendt in the fencing to the dammage of 15 pounds" (p. 168). The same year, "Rob: Munrow plt. Cont Rich. Sexton defendt in an action about fence being defective the jury findes for the plt.: 50 Shill which is to be deducted out of Sexton his rent and Costs of Courte" (p. 169). There is no further record of Robert in any history, but at least we know that he was in the liquor business at Windsor by 1655.«/i»

Robert may have been banished to America along with two of his nephews after the Battle of Worcester. Robert, John and Hugh Munrow were listed as prisoners shipped from London on the "John & Sarah" on 11 Nov 1651 bound for Boston, Massachusetts.
