56307 Horace was associated with the family enterprises in the shoe and lumber busnisses. He was a director of the Groveton Paper Company, and the Manufacturers National Bank. He was its president for twelve years. He was an avid outdoorsman and was president of the West Auburn Cemetery Association. His estate amounted to more than 2.5 million dollars.

One of his projects was the construction of a four-masted schooner in Bangor, Maine. It consumed over a million feet of lumber in its construction and was the largest ever launched on the Penobscot River. The "Horace E. Munroe" turned out to be a bad luck ship from the very start. When she was christened with a bottle of Poland water, she promptly slid from the launching site, across the river, and punched a hole in a store on the shore.

She carried coal for a year and then embarked on her first voyage overseas. Three days out of Norfolk, the second mate was swept over the side and never found. The schooner continued on its voyage now with a crew of thirteen. She put in to Fayal, Azores for repairs, and while she was at anchor there, she was struck by a German bark which had parted its chains.

Returning from Lisbon, Portugal, she was struck in the night by a steamship and sunk 600 miles from the coast. All thirteen of the crew were rescued by the British ship "Palma" and returned safely to Maine.

56326 Howard was a grandson of Thaddeus Munroe, but may not have been a son of George.

Howard owned the Maple Grove Farm which had the house that his grandfather built and stretched from Woburn Street to Maple Street in Lexington and included land on which the Scotland district school stood. His grandfather's house was for sale in 1995 for $450,000.

In 1894, the Maple Grove Farm included 71 acres of mowing and tillage land, 38 acres of woodland, and five acres of unimproved land. His stock included 23 Holstein, Ayrshire and Guernsey cows, 50 thoroughbred chickens, and three horses. He often bought and sold fancy trotters.

In addition to his farm, he also ran a market garden business and he grew assorted garden flowers which he sold out of Carlson's Florist Shop on East Street.

Howard was a respected and involved citizen of Lexington. He was a member of the Hancock Church, Master of the Lexington Grange, member of the Lexington Historical Society, the Old Belfry Club, the Men's Club of the Hancock Church, and the Boston Gardeners' Association. He was also one of the three original trustees of the Winning Home for Orphans and Destitute Children.

In 1915, he purchased an old rifle range located off Webb Street and established the Minituman Rifle Club, which included a club house and 200-foot range. In 1938, he and H. I. Currier established Countryside Inc., which included the Countryside restaurant at the corner of Lowell and Woburn streets. It was advertised as a modern roadside restaurant which catered parties and specialized in Ipswich fried clams.

"Robert of Ardullie married Isobell daughter to Alexr. Ross of pitkery by whom he had Alexr. James Hugh Andrew in Coul litster and Robert and a daughter Janet married to Teanard."

"...Hugh m Dutchwoman Elleta Bone..."

Hugh was educated in Edinburgh and became a "Litstar" or cloth-dyer there. He was sent to Holland by his brother, Robert, to learn more about his trade. He liked Holland so much that after several years' residence there, he sent to the Highlands for his younger brother, Andrew, to join him. He also married a Dutch woman, Elleta Bone, but they had no children.

Shortly after the Revolution of 1688, they both returned to Scotland, having obtained a contract for dyeing the cloth used for the uniforms of King William III's army.

56348 Hugh and his wife, Catherine, left Scotland in 1773 with a number of their neighbors. Soon after they embarked, the ship was disabled and had to return to Ireland where they were obliged to spend the winter. During their stay, their eldest son, John was born.

In 1774, they settled in what was then Tryon County, now changed to Fulton County, north of the Mohawk Valley, New York. He was known as Hugh Munro of Foulis, parish of Dingwall, Scotland. He located some eight or ten miles northeast of the present town of Johnston.

Hugh and most of his neighbors remained loyal to the British Crown when the American Revolution erupted. Because of that, he suffered severely financially and otherwise. He narrowly escaped capture when Colonal Dayton was sent to capture Sir John Johnston and the rest of the Loyalist community. The Loyalists fled into the woods and made their way through numerous hardships to Montreal, Canada. Hugh was forced to abandon his home, his farm of 120 acres, and his livestock which were confiscated by the state of New York.

Sir John was immediately commissioned a Colonel in the British Service and he raised a command of two battalions. The regiment was known as "The King's Royal Regiment of New York" or the "Royal Greens". Hugh was one of the first to join and participated in three expeditions to his old settlement in the Mohawk Valley, New York to retaliate for their treatment. During one of these forays, they fought the Battle of Oriskany, a small but very bloody affair. The battle was a failed attempt to capture Fort Stanoix.

Hugh served for six and a half years in the first battalion and was discharged as a First Lieutenant when the regiment was disbanded in Dec 1783. Ref 1 says he fought as a private soldier until disbanded in 1784.

The year after his discharge, Hugh settled on Crown land grant lot 22, in the first concession, south of the river Raisin, one mile south of Martintown (ref 1 says east), in the township of Charlottenburg, Glengarry County, Ontario, Canada. He lived there for about 18 years and then moved to lot 19 in the 9th concession of Charlottenburg where he lived with his family until his death on 24 Dec 1821. (One reference says he died in 1794.)

In 1785 Hugh made a claim against the U.S. government for the loss of his property. It appears that he was compensated for his property, but the amount of compensation is not known.

Error alert: The Postma reference places Hugh as a child of John Munro (1728-1800) and Marie Talbot Gilbert Bruere (1738-1815) but this doesn't seem to fit with data from other sources.

Ref: Clan Munro files - Munro, James Donald

Hugh Munro was the Nephew of Capt Hon. John Munro as his Mother was Capt. John Munro's sister. Born a Munro, she married a Munro kin who was in the British Army in England and was Hugh's Father. When she was widowed early, she came to America to marry Donald Munro (bringing her son, Hugh, with her).Donald had been commissioned in Scotland in the 60th Regiment and was also posted to Colonial America during the French-Indian wars. He settled in New York Territory on land bought from John's Land Grants. Hugh also fought for the Crown during the Revolutionary War, and took United Empire Loyalist (UEL) Land Grants in St Peter (since known as Bathurst) New Brunswick. He first came with the other UEL settlers to Paspebiac on the Bay of Chaleur in 1784 on the Brig "St. Peter". (See Settlers on the Bay of Chaleur by AD Flowers.)

Obituary from the New Brunswick "Gleaner" October 3, 1846

DIED: At Somerset Vale, Bathurst, Friday 25th September, after a protracted illness in the 82nd year of his life, Hugh Munro, Esq.

Mr. Munro was a native of Ross-shire, Scotland, whence he emigrated to one of the British North American Colonies in the United States. At the Revolutionary of 1783 he accompanied his parents and many other loyalists, and found a home in Canada and New Brunswick. He resided for upwards of forty years in this province and represented the County of Northumberland in the Provincial General Assembly for Many years.

As a Magistrate and Judge of the Common Please, and in every public capacity, his character was marked by the strictest integrity. During the last years of his life, Mr. Munro received much benefit in attending upon the ordinances of Christianity in connection with the Church of Scotland, to which, upon principle, he was much attached, and towards the maintenance of which, in his neighborhood, he assisted with great cordiality and zeal.

Hugh was appointed to the Inferior Court of Common Pleas on 29 Jan 1792.

Letter from John Munro (Capt. Hon. John Munro) to Hugh Munro. Copy obtained from Duncan Young of Bathurst, New Brunswick by Fidele Theriault, Fredrickson, New Brunswick. Copy to Vallena Munro January, 1993: Note: M. Theriault states letter he transcribed was "very poor copy and hard to read - some words I could not make out".

Matilda, 30 March 1800 My dear Hugh,
Its true that I write you but seldom because you are silent and because I have nothing to say that can give you pleasure, only merely that I am in being much in truth is of little consequence to one from whose conversation I am cut off by such accidents or engagements as separates us. I continue and ever shall to wish you all good and happiness. I wish that some lucky event might set you in a state of ease and independance and that I might live to see you as happy as this world _ _ can make you and are never to live near each other as we once did. I find my life ebbing a pace and my affections strengthening as my age increases. I find my companions small in number and my friends few and _ _ and anxious of the world for me to keep pace with.

I informed you in my letter of Wm J. engagement in the NorthWest (fur) Company. I expect Harry will be down this fall, but can not say whether to his entering as a partner. However, the returns this season will answer whether it will be an object.

The family in general are in health.

I mentioned to you before that I made a purchase of Hugh's property in this province which will keep me and your poor Aunt upon small allowance to pay the money I borrowed to pay him. Dr. Mount and Mrs. Paterson are doing well.

We have got a new Governor and I have every reason to hope we shall be happy in the choice. Immigration increases very fast. Upwards of a thousand came into his district this winter, and the number by Oswego, Niagara and Detroit are ten to one by every information we have in this quarter. The inhabitants of Montreal are afraid of the alarming disorder which the troops brought from Ireland last Fall which carried off the greater part of a regiment and part of the inhabitants.

Is friend Donald living, and how does he make out and are you good friends. Has he been attentive to you in your sickness. It's time to turn good as we grow old.

No satisfaction is to be had for my debts or property in the American State. They have lost their King and it will not be long before they will differ among themselves.

Have you applied for a grant of your lands at L'Assumption ? You should not neglect applying. We expect a cargo of immigrants from Scotland this season. Those we have made good progress. They are saving and industrious which will always gain ground. Hugh has got his sawmill going which will be more profit to him than his shop. His potash will also turn out to his advantage. Dr. Mount is erecting a house, but always complaining of poverty. He has eight children. His second boy is at school and in a year time will make a young clerk for you. Cornelius has five boys but I am sorry to say not careful nor industrious. This shall be forwarded to your friend Dr. Langmore who no doubt will forward it by first opportunity. Adieu my dear Hugh and may God preserve your life easy and make your death happy where I trust we shall rest in the arms of our blessed Saviour, which it shall be the prayer of your affectionate uncle John Munro

P.S. My cousin Hugh is well. His son was married last week to Captain Fraser's daughter.

Hugh was born in Scotland and went to America with his widowed mother and sister in 1774 when he was about 10 years old. The family remained loyal to the crown during the American Revolution and in 1778 they moved to Canada.

Hugh was educated in Quebec City. In 1784, he sailed to New Carlisle Loyalist Colona at Gaspe', Quebec aboard the brig St. Peter. He settled in New Carlisle and later at St. Peter (Bathurst) New Brunswick.

He served as judge on Gaspe' Court of Common Pleas and was a member of the House of Assembly for Northumberland County. He made his living as a lumberman, general and ship's merchant, and ship builder.

He was frequently styled Judge Hugh Munro of Bathurst.
