56410	Hugh was a medical student at the University of Aberdeen 1740-1744. He immediately became a follower of Prince Charles Edward Stuart when he arrived in Scotland in 1745. Hugh served Bonnie Prince Charlie as an Assistant Surgeon and was with him at his disasterous defeat at Culloden. He barely escaped with his life from the field of battle and fled to Aberdeen. As a rebel and a hunted man, facing possible execution, he couldn't stay in Scotland. About a year later, he slipped aboard a vessel at Leith and sailed for Philadelphia. He arrived in Philadelphia in May 1747 with just 30 pounds in his pocket that he had earned for medically treating the ship's captain. Still not feeling safe from English vengance, he headed west to Conococheague, a settlement in western Pennsylvania. There he organized and became the leader of a company of "rangers" who would be able to assemble quickly in case of attack by the Indians. In 1755, Hugh met 23-year old Colonel George Washington. They became life-long friends. As the Indian menace became worse, money was appropriated to raise a disciplined militia. Hugh was appointed captain in the Second Battalion on 6 Mar 1756. His company was stationed at Fort McDowell and Fort Shirley. During an attack on, Kittanning, an Indian stronghold, Hugh was wounded. He had lost a lot of blood and was left for dead in an unknown country. After a 10-day walk, subsisting on rattlesnake meat and fresh-water clams, wild plums and blackberries, Hugh barely made it back to the fort. He was later awarded a medal by the City of Philadelphia for this action. In 1758, now Colonel Mercer took part in the second attack on Fort Duquesne, led by General Forbes and aided by Colonel Washington. The fort was destroyed. The fort was later rebuilt and renamed Fort Pitt. Col. Mercer was made its first commandant. Hugh was discharged on 8 Jan 1761 because the Indian threat was greatly abated. At the urging of George Washington, Hugh moved to Fredericksburg, Virginia leaving the rugged frontier life for the more luxurious life of a Virginia Doctor. In 1762, he became the civilian doctor to the Virginia military regiment. He later served as vestryman of St. George's Episcopal Church and head of George Washington's Masonic Lodge #4. Now with a wife and family, Hugh began buying land in Virginia. Within 10 years, he owned about 13,000 acres. He also bought Washington's 600-acre Ferry Farm for 2,000 pounds in Virginia money. Washington allowed him to pay in three, four or five equal annual payments as it should suit him. By 1771, Hugh's medical practice was extensive and he had opened an apothecary shop which had a sitting room and small library that George Washington used as an office whenever he came to Fredericksburg. In Aug 1775, the Virginia Convention voted to form three regiments and balloted for officers. Although Hugh Mercer's name was proposed, he lost each time. Many of his friends were annoyed that Patrick Henry, a lawyer, orator and patriot, was chosen over a man of military experience. But Hugh said, "Hugh Mercer will serve his adopted country and the cause of liberty in any rank or station to which he may be assigned." In Sep 1776, another regiment was organized and Hugh was elected Colonel by the Virginia Convention. He moved his wife and five children to Williamsburg and started organizing and drilling his men. Very soon after this, George Washington and the Continental Congress made him a brigadier-general in the Revolutionary army. He was placed in charge of small moveable forces of militia from Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey and charged with protecting the area of New Jersey between New York and Philadelphia. General Mercer had difficulty keeping his forces together. Many men went home when their enlistment expired and many deserted. At the same time, Washington had evacuated New York and was retreating toward Philadelphia. A victory was badly needed to raise the morale of the troops and of the colonies. Hugh suggested attacking the Hessian soldiers guarding Trenton and Princeton, timing the attack for the morning of 26 Dec when many of the defenders would be sleeping off hangovers. The dramatic crossing of the Deleware River by Washington's forces was followed by a complete route of the British and Hessians in the streets of Trenton. Hugh was leading a brigade to scout the Princeton area when he encountered a larger body of British soldiers sent by General Howe to relieve Trenton. During the battle, Hugh was thrown from his horse. As he tried to rally his brigade on foot, he was surrounded. Despite efforts to defend himself with his sword, he received seven bayonet wounds and was left for dead. He was still alive when he was carried to a nearby house by seminary students from the College of New Jersey (which later became Princeton). He died of his wounds the next day. He was buried with civic and military honors in Philadelphia's Christ Churchyard. In 1840, his body was transferred to Laurel Hill cemetery and marked by a monument and the words "The worthy and brave Mercer, who died while fighting for American independence at the Battle of Princeton in 1777." Mercersburg, Pennsylvania was named in his honor in 1786 and ultimately counties in eight states were named after him. ******** ****** «i»The Life of Hugh Mercer Hugh Mercer was born in Pitsligo parish, northeastern Scotland the son of a Presbyterian minister in 1726. He attended Marischal College (now the University of Aberdeen) studying under a doctor on the faculty. After graduating he served as a surgeon's mate in the rebel army of Scotland's Prince Charles Stuart who was attempting to claim the English crown of King George II. When the rebellion was defeated by the English, Mercer managed to escape to America to save his life. The English were trying to solve the Scottish "problem" permanently by killing every suspected rebel they could find. He settled in the wilderness of Pennsylvania near the present city of Mercersburg (named for him by its founder in 1780) and began a medical practice. When the French and Indian War began Mercer joined the Pennsylvania militia (1756) as a captain and was subsequently in command of various forts along the frontier. He participated in the capture of Fort Duquesne and was left in charge of re-building the fort renamed Fort Pitt. During this time he met and became a friend of George Washington and other Virginia officers. At the end of the war it was Washington and these gentlemen who recommended Fredericksburg as a good place to resume his medical practice. He came here in 1761. Dr. Mercer's practice flourished. His patients were the influential families of the area including Mary and Charles Washington and James Madison's father. As the Revolution approached, Mercer was appointed a member of the local Committee of Safety and was in charge of the local Minutemen. He called a large body of men together to avenge Governor Dunmore's removing the powder from the magazine at Williamsburg although they prudently reconsidered and didn't act. In 1775 Mercer was chosen to command the 3rd Virginia Regiment of militia and given the responsibility of guarding Virginia's Northern Neck from British invasion. As hostilities began in earnest, Mercer was appointed a Brigadier General in the Continental Army by Congress at the recommendation of George Washington and was sent to New Jersey in command of a mobile trouble-shooting unit designed to protect the New Jersey coast. Later he helped plan and participated in the victorious attack on Trenton. Mercer was severely wounded while heroically rallying his men during the battle of Princeton and died nine days later, January 12, 1777. He is buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia. George Washington: "... (the victory at Princeton) was counter-balanced by the loss of the brave and worthy General Mercer." Hugh Mercer: "We are not engaged in war of ambition or I should not have been here ... For my part I have but one object in view and that is the success of the cause and God can witness how cheerfully I would lay down my life to secure it."«/i» ("The Life of Hugh Mercer" - author unknown) ******** Ref: Clan Munro files - Patton, David Wilson "The Highlander" - Jul/Aug 88 - p. 38-40 Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA	Mercer, Gen.

56421	Hugh was born 25 Oct 1763. In 1781, when he was eighteen years of age, he succeeded his father and became the 26th Baron and 8th Baronet of Foulis. Shortly after his father's death, he went to London, where he lived for many years. In Nov 1794, he "entered into an irregular union" with Jane Law, who was the daughter of Alexander Law. Alexander was a native of the parish of Keithhall in Aberdeenshire and served as chef to King George III. Hugh and Jane had an illegitimate daughter, Mary Seymour Munro, who was born in London on 14 May 1796. Sir Hugh and Jane later married in London on 24 Sep 1801, as shown by the following affidavit: "23rd Sept., 1801.--Appeared personally Sir Hugh Munro, Baronet, and made oath that he is of the parish of Saint Mary-le-bone, in the county of Middlesex, a bachelor aged twenty-one years and upwards; and intendeth to marry with Jane Law, of the same parish, a spinster likewise aged twenty-one years and upwards; and that he knoweth of no lawful impediment by reason of any pre-contract, consanguinity, affinity, or any other lawful means whatever, to hinder the said intended marriage, and prayed a license to solemnise the same in the parish church of Saint Mary-le-bone aforesaid; and further make oath that the usual place of abode of him, the said Sir Hugh Munro, was and hath been in the said parish of Saint Mary-le-bone for the space of four weeks last past. (Signed) "H. MUNRO. "Sworn before me, N. Parson, Sur." "Sir Hugh Munro Baronet of this parish, batchelor, and Jane Law of the same parish, and spinster, were married in this church by license, this 21st day of September, in the year 1801, by me "BENJN. LAWRENCE, Curate. "This marriage was solemnised between us H. MUNRO. JANE LAW. In the presence of THOS. BIRD. JOHN WILLOCK." Shortly after their marriage Sir Hugh Munro and his new wife took up their residence at Foulis Castle. On 1 (or 3) Aug 1803, Jane tragically drowned while swimming in the Cromarty Firth. She was 27 years old. Hugh and Jane had no other children besides Mary Seymour Munro, but Sir Hugh did have a natural son, George. It was soon realized that because of the entail that Hugh's father, Sir Harry, had made, that Mary Seymour Munro would inherit the estate of Foulis, but that the title would go to Hugh's closest male heir. If Mary should marry and leave heirs, then the separation of the estate and title would be complete, leaving the head of the house of Foulis and Chief of the clan practically landless. This was all dependent on recognizing Mary Seymour, who was born out of wedlock, as Hugh's legitimate heir since Hugh had later married Mary's mother, Jane. If the marriage had taken place in Scotland, there would have been no grounds for dispute, but since it was performed in England interested persons began spreading stories to the effect that Mary Seymour Munro was not the legitimate heir to the estate of Foulis. On 27 May 1831, Mary started a lawsuit against her father, and all of the possible heirs of Foulis in order to clarify her right to inherit the estate. Although Sir Hugh was named as a defendant in the action, it is not clear on which side of this issue he stood. The Mackenzie reference says on p. 150 that Sir Hugh was "nominally one of the defenders, but [was] the lady's father and the real pursuer himself." But later on p. 153 it says that because the courts ruled that Mary was entitled to inherit the estate of Foulis, Sir Hugh "gave orders for dismantling it. The furniture of the castle was sold, and all the beautiful timber around the castle and throughout the estates was cut down, and the lands as well as the duties of the proprietor were left for many years to the administration of factors." Mr. Joseph Mitchell, C.E., Inverness laments the loss of the forests around Foulis by writing that "The trees around this ancient seat were of great age and magnificent size. Nature seemed to have planted them in most picturesque grouping. One chestnut of vast dimensions in front of Ardullie house would, it was said, when in full foliage, shelter 1000 men under its branches... Succeeding generations, however, will lose the charm which groups of antique and venerable trees afforded to the lover of the picturesque in this locality." Mary Seymour's victory was a hollow one because she found her estate dismantled of its beauties and even in that condition she did not long enjoy it. She intended to make Foulis her permanent residence when her father died in 1848, but she died on 12 Jan 1849 before she could move there. She was unmarried and so, after all, the Foulis estates reverted to Sir Hugh's nearest male heir along with the titles. Sir Hugh lived for many years at his town residence, 22 Manchester Square, London, where he died on 2 May 1848, at the age of 85. His remains were brought to Ross-shire, and interred at Kiltearn in the family burying-ground of his ancestors. On his death without legitimate male issue, all the descendants in the male line of Robert, 24th Baron and 3rd Baronet of Foulis, became extinct. The titles, and after his daughter's death in the following year, the estates, reverted to his nearest male heir, Charles Munro, eldest son of George Munro of Culcairn and Culrain.

56441	Hugh was passionately devoted to the cultivation and encouragement of the fine arts. He spent a good deal of his time painting and he accumulated in London a costly collection of fine paintings by other artists which became well known in the fine art world as the Novar Collection.

W. Munro's genealogical notes)«i» «/i»****** ****** «i»Hugh Andrew Johnstone Munro of Novar (13 February 1797 - 22 November 1864) was a Scottish art collector. H.A.J. Munro of Novar was born in London, the nephew of Hector Munro, 8th of Novar, and the son of Sir Alexander Munro (d. 1809). On his father's death in 1809 he became the head of the Munros of Novar and succeeded to the estate of Novar House in Ross-shire. He entered Christ Church, Oxford as a gentleman commoner in 1814 and left three years later with no degree. Munro remained unmarried; among his several illegitimate children was Hugh Andrew Johnstone Munro (b. 1819), the classical scholar. Munro was one of the most important patrons of J. M. W. Turner, as well as being the painter's close friend and (in 1836) traveling companion. He commissioned Turner's paintings Venice from the Porch of Madonna della Salute (1837) and The Lake of Zug (1843), neither of which pleased him. He gave The Lake of Zug to John Ruskin, his rival as a collector of Turner, who records, "Mr. Munro thought the Zug too blue and let me have it." On another occasion, Munro traded Fluelen: Morning Looking Towards the Lake (1845), another watercolor Swiss subject he had commissioned, for Storm in the St. Gotthard Pass: The First Bridge Above Altdorf (1845), which Ruskin had commissioned but disliked. Turner appointed him one of his executors in 1849. Curiously, a very distant kinsman of Munro's, Dr. Thomas Monro , had been one of the earliest supporters of the young Turner and, according to Ruskin, had exercised a significant influence on his art. Munro also collected works by the Old Masters and by other contemporary British artists such as Richard Parkes Bonington, John Constable, and Sir David Wilkie, amassing a collection of some 2,500 works by the time of his death. Auctions of the collection were held at Christie's between 1860 and 1878.«/i» (Wikipedia - "Hugh Andrew Johnstone Munro of Novar" - 16 Jan 2011) ******** References: (1) "History of the Munros of Fowlis" by A.
