55203	George is said to have been served heir on 17 Oct 1410 to Isobeth Keith, his mother, in certain Caithness lands. He succeeded as Baron of Foulis in 1425 and had a charter from King James I of all his lands dated at St. Andrews on 22 Jul 1426. This charter greatly extended the lands of the Munro Clan. The extension was granted by charters from Euphemia, daughter of William, Earl of Ross, who on her father's death inherited the Earldom. George's death at the battle of Beallach-nam-Brog, was brought about by a strange series of events. Euphemia Leslie, Countess Dowager of Ross, lived at Dingwall. She wanted to marry Alexander Mackenzie of Kintail, but Alexander was not willing for several reasons. (1) She was not able to add to his estates. (2) She was a turbulent woman and had been in prison. (3) Alexander had already planned to marry Macdougall's daughter. Euphemia invited Alexander to her court in Dingwall to try one more time to get him to marry her and when he refused, she "converted her love to hatred" and made him her prisoner. She also, somehow, got possession of a gold ring that was to serve as a token between Alexander and Macaulay, the Governor of Ellandonnan. Macaulay had strict orders not to allow anyone to enter the castle without showing the gold ring. Euphemia sent the ring by messanger to Macaulay saying that Alexander was about to marry Euphemia and that he should come to Dingwall. Macaulay, seeing the ring, believed the story and left the castle which was immediately occupied by Euphemia's men. Macaulay was able to communicate with Alexander, who told Macaulay that to secure his release, he should capture Walter Ross of Balnagown, who was one of Euphemia's close relatives, and then make an exchange. Macaulay returned to Kintail, collected a band of men and made the capture. The Earl of Ross immediately advised Hugh, Lord Lovat, of the illegal seizure of his relative, and his Lordship promptly dispatched to the north two hundred men who were joined by Ross's vassals, the Munros of Fowlis, and the Dingwalls of Kildun. They immediately went in pursuit of Macaulay to rescue Balnagown. Macaulay sent Balnagown away under guard and resolved to fight his pursuers in a spot that was between Ferrindonald and Lochbroom. A sanguinary conflict ensued, more than usually aggravated and exasperated by a keen and bitter recollection of previous feuds and ancient animosities. The Kinlochewe men were almost extirpated in the fight. The manhood of the race of Dingwall was literally extinguished, one hundred and forty of their men having fallen, while there were slain eleven Munros of the house of Fowlis that were to succeed one after another; so that the succession fell to a child then lying in his cradle. George Munro of Foulis was found among the dead. During the battle, the Highlanders defended themselves from the arrows of their enemies by tying their shoes to their chests with their belts. Because of that, the place was named Bealach-nam-Brog, or the Pass of the Shoes. After his success at Bealach-nam-Brog, Macaulay moved toward Ellandonnan and discovered a detail of men bringing provisions to the castle. He captured the detail and had his own men put on their clothes and carry the provisions. Using this trick, they were allowed into the castle where they easily retook it from the defenders. In time, Alexander Mackenzie of Kintail and Walter Ross of Balnagown were exchanged and both released. ******** «i»The tenth Baron of Foulis was George who married a daughter of McCulloch of Plaids. He was killed in 1452 at the Battle of Beallachnam-Brog as was his eldest son. He married, second, Christian McCulloch by whom he had son Hugh of Coul who succeeded to the Barony. It is with George that two lines separate to account for William of Lexington through Hugh, George's third son, and to John of Bristol, Rhode Island and Hugh of Long Island, presumed brothers, through John, his second son... George Munro, heir to his mother, 17 Oct. 1410; killed at Beallachnam-Brog, 1452. Tenth Baron of Foulis in the traditional numbering, possibly actually fifth Baron. «/i»("The Monroe Book" - by Dr. J.

55237	George Munro of Newmore married the daughter of Duncan Forbes of Culloden. She was the sister of President Forbes. George was Commissioner of Supply for Ross in 1689, 1690 and 1704. George Munro of Newmore was among "the considerable persons of the shires of Ross and Sutherland," who signed an address to King George I in Dec 1714, imploring his Royal mercy for Simon Lord Lovat on his return from France at the instigation of Major James Fraser of Castleleathers. In 1715, Lord Seaforth sent a message to Munro of Foulis, the Earl of Sutherland and Lord Reay, demanding hostages to assure that the Earl and Foulis would not trouble his country in his absence in the South. The message said he would attack in two days if the hostages were not forthcoming. A council of war was held, in which Foulis and his friends were for fighting, but the Lords were against it because of the size of Seaforth's force. George of Newmore answered that though they had superior numbers, it was their duty to fight them. He felt that they had a chance to beat them, and even if they didn't win the battle, they would probably scatter them so much that they would not be able to swiftly reassemble. Contrary to Newmore's advice, the Lords marched off with their men to Bonar Bridge while the rest of the army went off to their homes. The next day, Seaforth took possession of their camp. They remained there for a few days until Lord Duffus went to Tain and proclaimed the pretender there. He died Jun 1731 (ref. (1)) or 1737 (ref. (2)). References: (1) "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W.

55244	George received his preliminary education at Day's Academy at Wrentham, Massachusetts. He was an ardent reader and while at the Academy, which had a small library, he read every book in it. A more thorough education was soon to begin, but not that of formal schooling. When he was sixteen he went to Boston to learn the printer's trade in the office of Samuel N. Dickinson. Soon his knowledge broadened and he became a proof reader and because of his love for reading and good literature, he was able to distinguish between good and bad writing. As his accomplishments in literature were inherent within the man, he then went to work at the University Press at Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1859. Here he became acquainted with some of the tales of Nathaniel Hawthorne before they reached the public, this was a period in which Mr. Hawthorne was at his greatest and best productivity. In 1849, at the age of twenty-three he was for a short time an editorial writer for the Lawrence Courier. In 1857 he began writing Boston letters for the Dedham Gazette. In 1859 he bought the Norfolk County Journal, which was published weekly, he was sole publisher, editor, reporter and proof-reader. When Roxbury was annexed to Boston he changed the name of the paper to the Suffolk County Journal. He sold the paper sometime after 1866. As a journalist, George was noted for his "Templeton" letters to the Hartford Courant, over a period of thirty-five years. He had two passions outside of the work which gave him his livelihood. He was an omnivorous reader, particularly devoted to fiction, reading almost every new novel as it appeared. Baseball was his strong diversion, being a regular attendant at every professional baseball game in Boston, having his own seat in the grandstand, marked with his name. He knew the capacity and achievements of every prominent player, local or visiting. He served as Senator to the General Court of Massachusetts, from Suffolk County in 1869. He was a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society, which has the collection of his writings. George was proud of one incident in his life when he lived in Dedham. He acted as a conductor of Abraham Lincoln (who at this time had not attained great National importance) from Boston to Dedham, where Lincoln was to make a speech. His daughter told her nieces, that George was embarrassed because Mr. Lincoln removed his coat and sat in his shirt sleeves on the train trip. George became a Republican at the early stages when the party was being formed but was not a strict adherent to party lines. His wife was the daughter of Dr. William and Alice (Brazer) Ingalls of Boston, Massachusetts. Her maternal grandfather, John Brazer, took part in the Battle of Bunker Hill. The Brazer tomb is on the Boston Common, near the Boylston Street subway entrance. He was the second largest tax payer in Boston at the time of his death in 1828. Alice's birth is recorded as 22 Oct 1829, but the family always celebrated her birthday on 22 Sep. Ref: "Lexington, Mass. Munroes", 2nd ed. by R. S.
