John appears to have led a quiet country life at home. In 1751, he established a bleachfield on the spot where later the Culcairn mills stood. It was then the only one in the county of Ross. For several years it succeeded pretty well, but after John's death it passed through the hands of different managers, and was not so successful.
John married Katharine, the daughter of Thomas Ross of Calrossie.

John Munro of Milntown was appointed tutor to his nephew John Munro XI of Foulis, in which capacity he distinguished himself.
During his service as tutor of Foulis, the Battle of Clachnaharry was fought. There are a number of conflicting accounts of this battle and some historians, including Eyre-Todd place the battle in 1341 when another John [20714] was tutor of Foulis. The battle was most probably fought in 1454, however. The main points of agreement about the battle are as follows:
John of Milntown had gone to Edinburgh to take care of some business for his nephew, John of Foulis, and on the way back he and his servants fell asleep while resting in a meadow in Strathardale, between Perth and Athole. When they awoke, they found that someone had cut off the tails of their horses.
John was very much angered by this. He returned home and assembled 350 men (other accounts say 200 men) and returned to Strathardale and wasted the area killing some of the people and taking their cattle.
On the way home, the raiding party, with their booty, passed through Mackintosh land and the Mackintosh Chief asked John for a share of the booty, or road-collop which was traditionally paid to a chief for traversing his domain. John offered Mackintosh part of the booty. One reference says he offered 24 cows and a bull, but Mackintosh wanted a third of the booty. John treated his demand with scorn and continued on his way, giving Mackintosh no road-collop at all.
Mackintosh was incensed and rounded up a group of his friends asking them to delay the Munros until he could assemble his fighting men and confront Munro. The Munros were overtaken beyond the river Ness at a place called Clachnaharry. John sent 40 (or 50) of his men on with the booty while the rest of the band stood and fought Mackintosh's men.
A fierce conflict ensued, but different versions disagree on how many were killed. They all agree that John was badly wounded and left for dead. Eventually he was taken to Lord Lovat who helped him back to health. Apparently John lost his hand or arm in the battle and because of that was thereafter called John Baichlich (or Bacilach, or Baclamhach, or Baccalach, or bac-lamhach) which means lame-handed or maimed.
Most versions of this tale say that the Mackintosh Chief was killed in the battle, but this is almost certainly not true. He probably did not even participate in the fight.
The Munros immediately retaliated and sent a force in the dead of night to the Isle of Moy where the chief of the Mackintoshes lived. Using planks which they had carried with them, they put together a make-shift bridge, crossed to the Isle and took their revenge on those living there.

John Munroe was admitted to the church 1 Feb 1699 together with his father, and sisters Martha Commee, Elizabeth Rugg and Hannah Pierce. He was subscriber for the meeting-house in 1692, and was taxed for the purchase of ministerial land in 1693. He was one of the assessors in 1699, 1714 and 1720; constable in 1700, selectman in 1718, 1719 and 1726; also treasurer in 1718, 1719 and 1720. He was employed several years to ring the bell and sweep out the meeting-house, which shows that he did not consider it derogatory to perform this type of work.
On 13 May 1709, he bought ten acres of land adjoining his farm in Cambridge. On 22 Feb 1723, he gave 20 acres in Lexington to his son, John. This land was sold back to John Sr. in Dec 1725 when John Jr. migrated to New London. John Sr. continued to acquire property in Lexington. In the last deed found for him, he bought land adjacent to that of his deceased father, William.
According to the Andrews reference, John and others had 900 acres granted to them in 1735 for services rendered in an Indian fight at Lamprey River on 6 Jun 1690.
John was honored with the office of Lieutenant in the military. He along with others, had nine hundred acres of land granted to them in 1735, for services rendered in the Indian fight at Lamprey River, 6 Jun 1690.
Lucius R. Paige in his "History of Cambridge, Mass. 1630 to 1877," speculates that Hannah Marrett was John's second wife, but R. S. Munroe argues convincingly in his book about the Lexington Munroes that she was John's first wife.
John's estate was administered by his son William, appt. 25 Nov 1753. No distribution is included in surviving documents. The total value of the inventory of 1 apr 1754 was £791.15.00.

John served as Captain in the Danish Service then Lieutenant Colonel (Ref (2) says Captain) in Colonel Robert Munro of Obsdale's regiment under Gustavus Adolphus. He was serving as Colonel in the army of King Charles I when he was killed at the battle of Edgehill.
His is specially mentioned for the undaunted bravery he displayed at the skirmish of the Pass of Oldenburg, where a number of Munros fell. Colonel Munro, in his "Expedition", says of him that during the battle a barrel of powder accidentally exploded while the contents were being distributed to the soldiers. The enemy attempted to take advantage of the mishap and pressed to force the Pass. Captain John Munro and a few musketeers stood their ground and through their valor, forced the enemy to retire so that the Pass was cleared.
In 1628, John returned with a number of hisclansmen, having "Long David Munro as Lieutenant." His company, fully made up, quartered at Langland. About this time, he was promoted to the rank of Major, and in 1630 to that of Lieutenant Colonel. He commanded the regiment at the battle of Leipsic, and is honorably mentioned for his conspicuous bravery in that action.
On his return home, King Charles I gave him command of an infantry regiment and he was present at the battle of Edgehill. He was killed fighting bravely at the head of his regiment in that engagement.
He was apparently unmarried.
