Notes:

Hector succeeded his father when he was still a child. His estates were managed by some of his relatives until he reached majority in about 1514. At that time, Hector and John Mackenzie of Kintail were temporarily appointed by an act of the Privy Council, Lieutenants of Wester Ross to protect that district from the incursion of Sir Donald Macdonald of Lochalsh, who had proclaimed himself Lord of the Isles.

Donald Macdonald of Lochalsh died before August 1519, and on 2 October 1524, his sister, Margaret Macdonald of the Isles issued a charter granting Hector Munro several pieces of land in Breachatt. These grants were given with the consent of Margaret's husband, Alexander Macdonald of Glengarry and were confirmend by King James V by charter dated at Stirling on 20 Apr 1541.

On 30 Apr 1527, at Inverness, Hector entered into a bond of friendship and mutual defense with the Knight of Cawdor Castle and others. A similar contract was signed by Hector and Hugh, fifth Lord Lovat on 19 Mar 1529.

Hector was married twice, but had children only by his first wife. He also had three illegitimate sons who became heads of large families, and to whom were granted portions of land in Ross-shire.

Hector died at Carbisdale (later called Culrain), in the parish of Kincardine in 1541, when he was about 50 years old. He was buried in the ancestral burying-ground in the Chanonry of Ross.

"2. William, who entered the Church. He appears as Vicar of Dingwall between 1561 and 1566, but an Exhorter was nominated as his successor in 1569. In 1551 Queen Mary presented him to the Chaplainry of Saint Monan, on the lands of Balconie, vacant by the death of John Munro, eldest son of Hugh Munro of Coul. Between 1561 and 1566 the Chaplainry of Saint Monan was still held by William Munro, minister of Dingwall, apparently the same William as Queen Mary's presentee of 1551. He died about 1566, certainly before 1569.

In 1563 a charter was granted to Robert, at Fowlis, by his grand-uncle, William Munro, Vicar of Dingwall. (Register of the Great Seal, Lib. xxxii., Nos. 593-594, and Register of the Privy Seal, vol. xxxi., folios 98 and 99.)"
