BIO:The Katewell and Milnton of Katewell branches of the Munro Family Tree are poorly recorded and documented in the existing Munro records in Scotland. Alexander Mackenzie (among other historians) had few records to construct this genealogy other than those in the unpublished "Munro Tree" and the main order of the Katewell estate successions. He names John as Janet and William Munro's "only son" although this is contradicted by the 1768 "Birthbrief" written and signed by Harry Munro of Fowlis and heads of other cadet families and James Fraser, Minister of Alness, which names HUGH also as a son. [See BIRTHBRIEF - ANCESTRY OF CAPT. HON. JOHN MUNRO 1728-1800]. Mackenzie also failed to record a grandson of William and Janet's named HUGH. Although Mackenzie's "MUNRO FAMILY" book is still the primary published source for Munro genealogy, a number of errors have been discovered and proven in this volume. The proponderance of evidence established in the John Munro birthbrief, supported by detailed research of that document in both Scotland and America by Clan Munro Historian R. W.Munro, and all other available Munro sources support the conclusion that this Hugh Munro IS the son of William and Janet of Milnton of Katewell.

| 18. | Christian Munro (12.Janet3, 3.Robert2, 1.Janet1) was born about 1696; and died. Notes:
Christian (or Christina) and her two younger sisters were left orphans at a young age. Her father died in 1705, when Christian was only nine years old. It is said that the Mackenzies, who knew that she would succeed to a fair fortune for those days, resolved to kidnap her in order to marry her to one of their own relatives when she arrived at a suitable age. The old family nurse placed Christian in a creel, covered her over with cabbages, and walked down one avenue from the house with the creel on her back while the Mackenzies rode up the other.
The faithful nurse in this way got clear away with her charge and found her way to Foulis Castle, where Sir Robert, the twenty-third Baron, received her hospitably, and agreed, on the solicitations of the nurse, to bring up the girl until she arrived at an age to choose a husband for herself. The "Heiress of the Creel" as she was called, ultimately married Sir Robert's son, George.
