Notes |
- Mary was the eldest daughter and she succeeded her brother, John, as Munro of Newmore.
She was an eminently pious woman, and a faithful coadjutor of the Rev. Daniel Bethune, minister of Rosskeen from 1717 to 1754, in his endeavors to reform the morals and improve the spiritual condition of his parishoners. Rev. Bethune was a frequent visitor at Newmore Castle. His housekeeper was a Jane Munro, mother of Daniel Clark, who was for many years catechist of the parish of Fearn. Whenever the minister paid a visit to Newmore, Mary sent her carriage for him, and Jane would accompany him, faithfully attend to all his wants, and bring him safely home again.
Because of her marriage to Gustavus Munro, the properties of Newmore and Culrain were for a time united.
She died 28 Apr 1763 (ref. (1)) or 1764 (ref. (2)).
