Hugh entered the army and became a captain in the 78th Regiment, Seaforth Highlanders. He served under the Duke of York and, at the age of 24 years, he lost both his eyes carrying off a wounded soldier at the battle of Nimeguen in Holland. A musket ball entered the outward edge of the left eye, and passing under the bridge of the nose, through the right, and carried away both eyes without leaving the slighest mark or disfiguration except the blank left by the missing eyes.
He recovered from the effects of his wound, and although totally blind, he was able to write with wonderful accuracy. He played various musical instruments and was an excellent agriculturist who made great improvements to his estate. He wrote a full account of these improvements in a publication called "Survey of Ross and Cromarty" by Sir George Stewart Mackenzie of Coul.
Before leaving home to join the Duke of York, Hugh was engaged to be married to Jane Munro, with the approval of her father, General Sir Hector Munro of Novar. When he returned minus his sight, Sir Hector withdrew his consent.
Filled with compassion at the treatment of his blind older brother, Murdoch Munro-Mackenzie proposed to arrange an elopement, but Jane was to afraid of her father to go through with it and eventually married General Sir Ronald Crawford Ferguson of Raith. But Jane never lost her love for Hugh and while still fairly young, finding herself in failing health, she expressed a desire to see the captain once more. She attended divine service in the Parish Church of Alness, where Hugh worshipped. As the blind Captain was being led to his place, it is said that the lady fainted and had to be caried from the Church. She died not long after that.
Hugh felt that she had treated him badly in sacrificing her own happiness and his to her idea of filial duty. At one point, when Sir Walter Scott's romance, "The Bride of Lammermoor," was read to him, he was greatly moved, rising and pacing up and down the room in great agitation, recognising a resemblance between the conduct of Lucy Ashton and that of his own lady-love, Jane Munro.
The Captain lived for may years at Teaninich, and was a familiar figure in Ross-shire society. He was very fond of riding, and rode his horse fearlessly, his groom always preceding instead of following him in his rides.
He pulled down part of the old family mansion-house and rebuilt it, interesting himself greatly in the progress of its erection, walking among the planks and stones, often to the alarm of the workmen, but apparently to his own perfect satisfaction and amusement.
To conceal the disfigurement of his eyes, he always wore large green glasses. He is said to have been an extremely handsome man, good-tempered, and courteous.
In 1831, he sold the estate to his youngest brother, John, and passed the remainder of his life at Coul Cottage, near Alness, where he died, unmarried, on 11 May 1846.

Hugh entered the army in early life as a Lieutenant in the Royal Artillery. In 1878, at the outbreak of the war with Afghanistan, Lieutenant Ross volunteered to join any field battery going to the front. He was at once posted to G Battery, 4th Brigade, forming part of General Sir Donald Stewart's army. He was attacked by dysentery at Quettah, and did not report his illness, but marched with his battery, doing his normal duty to the last. When the forces reached Pishni Valley, his illness increased to such an extent that he was unable to proceed further. He died there in camp on 12 Jan 1879. He was not married.

Hugh had charters from William, Earl of Ross, of the lands of Katewell in 1369 and of lands in Lochbroom, Strathcarron and Strathoykell including Carbisdale in 1371. He also had charters from Euphame, Countess of Ross, of the lands of Contulich in 1379, and of the lands of Wester Foulis in 1394.
Hugh appears to have joined Donald, Lord of the Isles, in his contest with the Duke of Albany in the beginning of the fifteenth century concerning the Earldom of Ross. Donald claimed the Earldom in right of his wife, Lady Mary Leslie, daughter of Sir Walter Leslie and Euphemia Countess of Ross. In the course of this contest, the battle of Harlaw was fought on 24 Jul 1411.
After this battle, the Duke of Albany collected an army and marched north determined to bring Donald to obedience. He took the castle of Dingwall in 1412 and then proceeded to recover the whole of Ross. Donald was ultimately compelled to give up his claim to the Earldom of Ross.
Hugh and his father lived during the time of the capture and 18-year imprisonment of James I (1406-1426) and the 1411 invasion by Donald, Lord of the Isles, Chief of the great Clan Donald. The final upshot of these years, as far as the Munro Clan was concerned, was the demise of the Earldom of Ross in Jun 1476, it being declared forfeit to the Crown. Historically, the Munros had operated more or less at the bidding of the Ross Clan, but by 1476 the clan may be said to have come of age. Before 1476, all Munros who were not servants of the Church were vassals of successive Earls of Ross. The Munro Chiefs held their land "for faithful service rendered or to be rendered". At times it was not easy to reconcile this service with the wider loyalty they owed to the Scottish Crown. When the Earldom of Ross became forfeit, the Munro Chief held his lands directly from the Crown.
The Boggs reference adds a generation between Hugh IX and Robert VIII. She says the father of Hugh IX was also named Hugh but he fled from Scotland and never succeeded to the Barony. This Hugh that fled Scotland was supposedly the son of Robert Munro VIII of Foulis.

Hugh left Scotland and went to America as a Sergeant in Montgomery's 77th Highland Regiment in 1757. He was Sergeant Major when the regiment was reduced in 1764. After serving with Montgomery's Highlanders at Fort Pitt, the Ohio, Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Lake Champlain, Fort Live, Montreal, Dominica, Martinique, Havana and against the Indians in 1763, he was dicharged with land warrants. He settled first in St. Haik and later at Queensborogh Patent in New York Province where he erected Dutch and English sawmills.
After the American Revolutionary War broke out, he brought 15 men with him and joined General Burgoyne's Army at Skeenesborogh in 1777. The group formed the BAtteaux Corps and Hugh was appointed their captain. Their's was the dangerous job of ferrying supplies on the shallow Hudson River.
He fought with Major Ebenezer Jessup for a time and was then transferred to Major McAlpine's unit. After McAlpine's death, Hugh found himself saddled with the debts that McAlpine had incurred in order to supply his men with necessities.
At Saratoga, Hugh personally provisioned his corps. During the escape from Saratoga to Canada, Hugh was wounded, and upon his return to Quebec, he was faced with his debts. He was unable to collect the amount from McAlpine's estate, and spent many of his years in Lower Canada petitioning the Governor for compensation. This may have been why he was given the rights to land on the Galops Rapids.
His wife and five children were left in New York during the war and were "persecuted from place to place" until all died except his son, Hugh. After the war, Hugh and many other United Empire Loyalists fled to Upper Canada where they settled in Edwardsburg.
Hugh saw the possibilities of water power inherent in the Galops Rapids and by 1790, had settled on Point Cardinal. For some time it was known as Munro's Point. It was here that he built the first saw and grist mill which was operating as early as 1794. The market for timber was wide open at that time and rafts of lumber were floated down the river to Montreal for use in that area and for shipment overseas.
Altogether, Hugh ultimately owned over 3,000 acres of land in Edwardsburg and Oxford Townships. He was frequently called Hugh Munro of Edwardsburg.
Hugh or his son built a stone house in about 1800. It passed through several owners until it became the Benson Homestead and finally the Cardinal High School. The home was built much like a fort with narrow windows and walls two feet thick. This fort-like structure was probably built with the idea in mind that the Americans might cross the river at any time to harass the Loyalists, which, in fact, they did in 1812.

In Feb 1668, Hugh's brother-in-law, William Mackay, was on his way to Orkney when he was seized at Dunnet by the Earl of Caithness. He was carried to Thurso and imprisoned in a loathsome dungeon where he was confined for some time and barbarously treated. He was ultamately released and sent home in an open boat, but on the day after his arrival, he died from the effects of his treatment.
In March 1668, William Sinclair of Dunbeath, a cousin of the Earl of Caithness, invaded Lord Reay's country and kidnapped Hugh, his brother William, and his uncle William of Rosehall. He took them to Caithness and imprisoned them in Castle Sinclair, in pits and foul dungeons, where he left them confined for several weeks.
As Hugh's brother-in-law, Hector was on the way to Edinburgh the following August, he was waylaid and assassinated in Aberdeenshire by William Sinclair of Dunbeath and John Sinclair of Murkle, who were cousins of the Earl of Caithness.
In Dec 1668, Hugh Munro, John Lord Reay, and John, Earl of Sutherland lodged a complaint against the Earl of Caithness before the Court of Justiciary. The complaint cited the murder of William and Hector Mackay, and the invasion and kidnapping.
To meet this complaint, the Earl of Caithness raised a counter action against the complainers, alleging several crimes extending back as far as 1649. In both actions, the respective parties were summoned to appear in Court the same day on 10 Dec 1668.
It was found that the complaint lodged by the Earl of Caithness was based on false information and was abandonded. The other complaint was settled by a compromise agreeable to both.

In security, Hugh put up all of his lands within the parish of Alness.
Hugh made the annual payments until the debt was reduced to 3756 pounds when James Farquhar insisted upon being paid the full amount. Since Hugh couldn't come up with the money, James pressured him to sell Teaninich. Hugh finally did sell his estate to his cousin, Hugh Munro of Tearivan.

Hugh of Tearivan succeeded his cousin as Laird of Teaninich. He appears to have been a man of much prudence and considerable means, and he added largely to the family possessions.
On 7 Jun 1650 at Chanonry, he sold some goods to James Farquhar, a merchant from Aberdeen.
On 20 Nov 1655, Hugh purchased the lands of Teaninich from his cousin, Hugh, who had gotten into debt and had to sell the estate. On 20 Feb 1660, he added the lands of Milton of Alness by purchasing them from Robert Gray of Arboll for just over 500 pounds. He also purchased other lands in the neighborhood from Farquhar Munro of Teanoird and others.
He did not conform to Episcopacy at first and he was one of the 47 persons in the Northern Counties who were fined for refusing to do so. He paid about 1200 pounds Scots to John Paterson, Bishop of Ross in Feb 1665, but by the end of the year he had taken the oath of allegiance. He soon returned to the Presbyterian fold, however, and became an active elder in the Parish Church of Alness.
According to the valuation roll of 1644, the total rents collected on Hugh's lands was about 440 pounds.
Hugh served as Collector of Customs of Inverness-shire and Commissioner for Supply for Ross in 1667 and 1685.
He lived to a very old age. On 7 Feb 1701, he signed a discharge at Milton of Alness which was witnessed by "Hugh Munro, Younger of Teaninich, my grandchild."

Hugh received his early education in Elgin. He was later sent by his father to Shrewsbury, where he became one of the most distinguished pupils of Professor Kennedy, and later became Professor of Greek at Cambridge.
His University career was a series of brilliant successes. In 1842 he received his degree with honors, being second in the classical tripos. He was a Fellow of Trinity College, and was for some years Professor of Latin in the University of Cambridge.
He is universally admitted to have been the best Latin scholar of his day in Britain. He was also recognised as such on the Continent after his edition of Lucretius, which secured for him a European reputation. He was also widely known for his Elucidations of Catullus.
**********
«i»Hugh Andrew Johnstone Munro (29 October 1819 - 30 March 1885) was a British classical scholar.
Munro was born at Elgin, Moray , Scotland, the illegitimate son of Hugh Andrew Johnstone Munro of Novar by Penelope Forbes, and educated at Shrewsbury School, where he was one of Benjamin Hall Kennedy 's first pupils. He went on to Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1838, becoming a scholar in 1840, second classic and first chancellor's medallist in 1842, and fellow of his college in 1843. He became classical lecturer at Trinity College, and in 1869 was elected to the newly-founded chair of Latin at Cambridge, but resigned it in 1872.
The great work on which his reputation rests is his edition of Lucretius, the fruit of many years' efforts (text only, 1 vol., 1860; text, commentary and translation, 2 vols, 1864). As a textual critic his knowledge was profound and his judgment unrivalled; and he studied archaeology , being a frequent traveller in Italy and Greece. In 1867 he published an improved text of Aetna with commentary, and in the following year a text of Horace with critical introduction, illustrated by specimens of ancient gems selected by Charles William King. His knowledge and taste are nowhere better shown than in his Criticisms and Elucidations of Catullus (1878). He was a master of the art of Greek and Latin verse composition. His contributions to the famous volume of Shrewsbury verse, Sabrinae corolla, are among the most remarkable of the collection.
His Translations into Latin and Greek Verse were privately printed in 1884. Like his translations into English, these are characterized by minute fidelity to the original, but never cease to be idiomatic. He died while visiting Rome.
A Memoir by J. D. Duff was prefixed to a re-issue of the translation of Lucretius in "Bohn's Classical Library" (1908).«/i»
