3. Margaret, who married the Rev. Hector Munro, minister of Loth, Sutherlandshire, with issue--Lieutenant Hector Munro and the Rev. John Munro.

John served as minister of Lochgoilhead, Argyleshire. He went to Ireland shortly after his induction and settled in Carnmoney, County Antrim, apparentlyto escape religious persecution.

On 31 Aug 1687, the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, at the suggestion of Sir Colin Campbell of Ardkinglass, wrote earnestly asking him to return to Scotland, which he did in Jun 1688. He remained in Lochgoilhead until 11 Mar 1691, when he was transferred to Rothesay.

Wodrow says of him that "he was very useful in the Synod, as well as to the whole Church, being a public-spirited man, and fitted to deal with persons of quality."
