Sir Robert, his son Robert Munro, "yr. of Fowlis, Member of Parliament"; George Munro of Culrain, George Munro of Culcairn, Andrew Munro of Westertown, George Munro of Newmore, Hugh Munro of Teaninich, Hector Munro of Novar, John Munro, yr. of Novar, Alexander Munro of Kilchoan, Farquhar Munro of Teanoird, Hugh Munro of Ardullie, and Hugh Munro of Kiltearn, are among "the considerable persons of the shires of Ross and Sutherland," who signed an address to George I. in December, 1714, imploring his Royal mercy for Simon Lord Lovat on his return from France at the instigation of Major James Fraser of Castleleathers.

Farquhar took much interest in the affairs of his native parish. His name appears frequently in the session records of Kiltearn and the Presbytery records of Dingwall. On 15 Mar 1708, the Session delivered the mortcloth of the parish into his custody, with directions to keep an account of those who used it outside the parish, and to collect the dues. This was apparently no easy task, and on 22 Jan 1710, the Session made the following entry: "The Session considering there is so much owing of the product of the mortcloth as may relieve the straits of the Godly poor within the parish, it's appointed that the clerk draw a precept upon Teanaird, Collector of the Mortcloth dues, for supplying the needs of the poor foresaid."

Farquhar died before 26 may 1721.

"William of Teanard married Jean daughter to Hugh Minister of Tayne."

"For Hugh min of Tain see P/3; William later m Christian eldest dr of George of Culrain R/11 (FW 359, 377; Morrisons Dictonary 9200); dr Mary m Donald Munro, Balnacraig of Contilich, later Kilishie (FW 378, 400)."

William took a deep interest in all the parochial affairs of Kiltearn. He worked hard to get a minister settled in the parish as successor to the Rev. Hugh Campbell, who was transferred to Kilmuir-Wester (later renamed Knockbain) on 15 Feb 1721.

On 27 Mar 1727, William presented a petition to the Session of Kiltearn, "craving that he might be allowed to plant his seat in the same place which was formerly possest by his predecessors." The Session after consideration, pointed out that all the heritors had a particular interest in the disposition of the pews and seats, and appointed their clerk to issue circulars to all the heritors, requesting them to meet "sessionally here on the 24th of April next, in order to concert proper measures to that effect, when the requisite proportion of room belonging to every heritor may be likewise fully determined."

On 21 Aug 1727, David Bethune of Culnaskea, as proxy for William Munro of Teanoird, presented a petition to the session craving that Teanoird's seat should be "put in its own place which was enjoyed by his predecessors these several generations by past, and which is in a manner masterfully possessed by John Munro, tacksman of Kiltearn, against all justice and equity... and craving, seeing that the heritors of the parish are repairing their seats, that the heritors may be pleased to order the said John Munro to remove his seat and put it in its proper place." The Session referred the matter to the heritors.

On 18 Dec of the same year, William presented a third petition, requestion that "his seat be put in its proper place where it was before." John Munro also "gave in a petition for doing him justice with respect to his seat, submitting himself to the decretion of the heritors."

The heritors met on the same day and agreed upon the following arrangements: "1. That John Munro, tacksman of Kiltearn, his seat should be removed to the Easter gavel and and Teanaird's seat placed where it was before. 2. That the seat of Kiltearn be brought up close to join Teanaird's seat, and Culcairn's seat be made to come up to join close to the seat of Kiltearn, by which means the room of the seat of Balcony will be enlarged." This allocation of the seats was agreed to by all concerned and William was quite satisfied.

Apparently, William left no heirs and so the estate of Teanoird passed into the hands of Sir Harry Munro of Foulis.

Robert was better known as "Rob-Mor-Rhi-fhearchar." It appears that his father had sold or alienated the estate of Milntown of Katewell, and Robert used this name because he lived at Rhi-fhearchar in the vicinity of Loch Glass.

He was a tall, well-built, powerful man, capable of great endurance, famed for his ready resource in trying difficulties. There are many stories giving account of his bravery and feats of strength.

One such story tells of his encounter with a bullock on one of the slopes of Ben Wyvis. The animal had been turned out to the hills to graze, and left there so long that it became quite wild. When the time came to bring it home, Robert sent one of his men for it. The man returned home, informing his master that the beast had become so wild that whenever he went near it, it charged him, so that he was obliged to show it a clean pair of heels.

Next day another man was sent, but he fared no better. The third day, Robert himself started on the same errand, taking a stout cudgel with him. Towards evening he was seen slowly wending his way homewards astride the bullock's back. When he arrived he nimbly leaped off, saying, "You cowardly fellows, it is the quietest animal I ever came across." the men replied, "That is very strange. It charged us so furiously as to make us fly." "So it did me," replied Robert, "but it discovered that it was of no use. When I saw it coming on to charge me, I prepared to receive it, and when it came up to me I caught it by the horns, turned round its neck, and laid it on its side. Before it had time to recover from its surprise I was astride its back. When it got up it turned round to go up the hill. I gave it a blow on the side of the nose with my cudgel. It turned round the other way. I shifted the stick to the other hand, and gave it a blow on that side. It then understood that it had its master on its back and at once decided to obey him."

Robert moved from Rhi-fhearchar to Boginturee, where he died at an advanced age.
