John Munro, of Milntown of Alness

Notes:

John was Commissar of Inverness. He married the daughter of Clunes in Cromartie.

Ref: The Munro Tree (1734) - M/95 & M/96

Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - M/95

"Captaine John Munro married /blank/ Crombie Bailzie of perths daughter by whom he had John Robert and Alexander Munros."

Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - M/96

"John Munro Commissar of Inverness married /blank/ Clunes in Cromartie by whom he had Alexander George and David and a daughter Christane marrie to James Thomson Merchant of Inverness."

John was the last of his family to hold the estate of Milntown of Alness, which later became part of Teaninich.

He served for many years as Commissary Depute of Inverness, where he lived.

This might be the same person as John [60033].
