65804	Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - Z "Sir Robert Munro of Fowlis member of parliament for the northern Burrows succeeded A D 1729 he married Mary Seymour daughter to Henry Seymour by whom he has 2 sons and a daughter." "...His marriage to Mary dr of Henry Seymour of Woodlands in Dorset seems to have taken place in England (licence 1716 in Bishop of London's Registry; Miller's Scenes and Legends of the North of Scotland 445-7)..." Ref: "History of the Munros" by A. Mackenzie - p. 136-138 Sir Robert married Mary, daughter of the Hon. Henry Seymour of Woodlands, Dorsetshire, Speaker of the House of Commons, by his wife, Miss Tregonwell of Anderson. Mr Seymour was a lineal descendant of Sir Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset, Protector of England from 1547 to 1549, through his first marriage, being eldest son of Edward Seymour, Clerk of Hanaper, son of Thomas Seymour, by his wife Anne, daughter of Sir Richard Anderson. Thomas was son of Sir Edward Seymour, Baronet, son and hear of Sir Edward, son and successor of Sir Edward, son of the Protector. The following interesting anecdote, handed down by tradition, relative to Sir Robert's introduction to Mary Seymour, places his character in a very amiable light:--While sojourning in England after his return from Flanders in 1712 he met with and was introduced to the young lady. The gallant young soldier was smitten by her apearance, and had the happiness of perceiving that he had succeeded in at least attracting her notice. This happy introduction soon resulted in mutual friendship; and, at length, what had only been a casual impression on either side, ripened into mutual attachment of no ordinary warmth and delicacy. On Sir Robert leaving England for the North he arranged with Miss Seymour the plan of a regular correspondence; and wrote to her as soon as he arrived at Fowlis Castle. After waiting with the usual impatience of a lover for a reply which did not come, he sent off a second letter, complaining of her neglect, which had no better success than the first, and shortly afterwards a third, which shared the fate of the other two. The inference seemed too obvious to be misunderstood, and he strove to forget the lady. He hunted, fished, visited his friends, and engaged in numerous and varied concerns, but to no purpose; she still continued the engrossing object of his affections, and after a few month's stay in the Highlands, he again returned to England, a very unhappy man. When waiting on a friend in London, he was unexpectedly ushered into the midst of a fashionable party, and to his surprise found himself in the immediate presence of his lady love. She seemed much startled by his appearance and blushed deeply; but suppressing her emotion, she turned to the lady who sat next to her, and began to converse on some common topic of the day. Sir Robert retired, beckoned to his friend, and entreated him to procure him an interview with the lady, which was effected, and an explanation ensued. She said she had not received a single letter; and forming at length, from the seeming neglect of her lover, an opinion of him similar to that which he had formed of her, she attemped to banish him from her affections; an attempt in which she was scarcely more successful than he had been. They were, however, much gratified to find that they had not been mistaken in their first impressions of each other, and they parted more atteched and convinced than ever that the attachment was mutual. so it turned out to be the case, for in less than two months Mary Seymour became Lady Munro of Fowlis. Sir Robert succeeded in tracing all his letters to one point--a kind of post-office on the confines of Inverness-shire. There was a proprietor in the neighbourhood--one who was deeply engaged in the interests of the Stuarts, and directly hostile to Sir Robert, the scion of a family whose members, from the first dawn of the Reformation, had distinguished themselves in the cause of civil and religious liberty. There was, therefore, very little difficulty in ascertaining who the author of the plot was; but Sir Robert was satisfied in having traced it to its origin. Regulating his principles of honour by the moral of the New Testament rather than by the dogma of the so-called "code of honour" which regards death as the only expiation of insult or injury, he was no duelist. An opportunity of having himself avenged in a manner more agreeable to his character and principles soon occurred. On the breaking out of the rising of 1715 the person who had so wantonly trifled with his affections joined the Earl of Mar, and after the failure of the enterprise was among the number of the proscribed. Sir Robert's influence with the Government, and the peculiar office to which he was appointed, gave him great power over the confiscated proprietors; and this power he exerted to its utmost in behalf of the wife and children of the man by whom he had been thus injured. "Tell your husband," he said to the lady, "that I have now repaid him for the intrest he took in my correspondence with Miss Seymour."
