"Mr John Munro of Fearn by Urquhart of /illegible/ daughter he had John Andrew and George and a daughter Christane..."
Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - L/29
"Andrew was killed at Statine for beating a Burgess there."
"Andrew executed at Stettin 1631 was 'Capt Andrew Monro Ferne he Sonne' - Ross and Mackenzie confuse him with nephew Andrew."
Andrew entered the army and went with Robert Munro of Foulis to the German wars. He proved his valor several times in battle, especially at the siege of Fraile-Sound, where he was wounded and left with a lame left arm.
One night in a fit of passion, he maltreated a surgeon within his own house. He was found guilty of His Majestys articles and discipline of war, and sentenced to be executed. The Duchess of Pomerew and other noble ladies petitioned strenuously to spare his life, and the surgeon forgave the incident, but the execution was carried out at Stettin on orders from the Governor, who was described as a churlish Swede, who would not remit the satisfaction due to his Majesty and justice.
Ref. (1) confuses Andrew with his nephew, Andrew.

4. | George Munro (1.Christian1) was born about 1608; died about 1634. Notes:

"George m Mary dr of Gen Scot of Invernethid yr bro of Thomas of Davidston; year of death uncertain, prob 1634 - Ross and Mackenzie apply this to son John, but original MS clearly refers to George."
Ref. (1) says George's son, John, was a castaway at sea in 1639, in company with John Munro, Younger of Obsdale on their way to Germany, with the intention of entering the Swedish service, but it was probably George, himself, who was the castaway in about 1634.

Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - L/28
"John married a daughter of Thomas McCulloch in Fearn by whom he had John and George John left two sons John and Andrew."
Before he inherited Fearn, John was known as "of Logie." He was Quarter-Master in the army.
It appears that ref. (1) has confused this person with a cousin, John, son of George. The cousin married Margaret Ross, not this person. The line continues in confusion through the children of these two people.
