"This Airbertach has twelve tribes inhabiting the Norweigan territoty,viz. Greagraid of the Champions, commomly called Mull and Tiroda (Tiree)and Cruibhinis or Craobhinis (of Island of Bushes. (This is said to bethe old name for Iona.)"

http://www.clanmacmillan.org/History.htm
The M'millans are one of a number of clans - including the MacKinnons,the MacQuarries, and the MacPhees - descended from Airbertach, aHebridean prince of the old royal house of Moray who according to oneaccount was the great-grandson of King Macbeth. The kin of Airbertachwere closely associated with the Clann Somerhairle "Ri Innse Gall"("Kings of the Hebrides"), the ancestors of the MacDougalls and theMacDonald "Lords of the Isles"; and like their allies their interests inthe twelfth and thirteenth centuries ranged throughout the Hebrides andthe western coastal regions of the Scottish mainland, and into Ireland.Though most of the clans certainly descended from Airbertach wereassociated with the Inner Hebrides (Tiree, Iona, Mull, Ulva and Colonsay)some others claiming the same descent were later settled inland along thestrategic corridor that connects Lorn - the mainland region oppositethose islands - to Dunkeld in Perthshire, where Airbertach's son Cormacwas the Bishop in the early twelfth century. Tradition connects theM'millans with a number of different places in the areas associated withAirbertach's kindred: Glencannel on Mull; Craignish in Lorn, Leny andLoch Tayside in Perthshire.

"He was the most accomplished and warlike chief that ever held sway inDuard.

"Circumstances had early familiarized Lauchlan Mor (as this young chief,from his great stature, ws styled) with scenes of blood and rapine.During his minority, the family
estates had been held by Hector Maclean, son of Alein na'n Sop, whopretended to administer them as guardian for his kinsman, Lauchlan, but,in reality, plotted the destruction of the latter, intending to seize theestates afterwards for himself Even after Lauchlan. . who is said to havereceived a good education in the Lowlands, had attained majority andtaken possession of his estates, his quondam guardian was suspected of adesign upon his life. This was, however, frustrated by the activity ofLauchlan, who apprehended Hector, and imprisoned him for a considerabletime in the castle of Dowart."

THE PEDIGREES OF THE EARLY CHIEFS OF CLAN MACKENZIE--
CAN THEY BE TRUSTED?

The several published pedigrees of the early Mackenzie chiefs--fromKenneth, for whom the clan is named, through Alexander "Ionraic"--thatare contained in family histories compiled between the 17th and early20th centuries are based upon traditions, real, perceived, or contrived.Considering that these pedigrees frequently contradict each other andthat they are not supported by existing contemporary records, can any ofthem be relied upon?

The two earliest surviving manuscript histories of the Mackenzies werecompiled in the seventeenth century by George (Sir) Mackenzie, createdfirst Earl of Cromartie by Queen Anne in 1703. His first account,written circa 1650, takes the form of a letter and was published involume II of William (Sir) Fraser's THE EARLS OF CROMARTIE (1876), at 462et seq. It was followed by a shorter manuscript history entitled THEGENEALOGY OF THE MACKENZIES PRECEEDING THE YEAR 1661 WRITTEN IN THE YEAR1669 BY A PERSON OF QUALITY, published in 1900 in Volume I of WalterMacfarlane's GENEALOGICAL COLLECTIONS in PUBLICATIONS OF THE SCOTTISHHISTORY SOCIETY, volume 33. The pedigrees of the early chiefs containedin both manuscript histories are similar. Earl Cromartie's pedigree,based upon his 1669 shorter manuscript history, at 54-60, follows:

PEDIGREE I

1. Kenneth, son of Colin Fitzgerald and the daughter and heiress ofKenneth MacMahon (Matheson), was named for his maternal grandfather. Hemarried Morba, "daughter to MacDougal of Lorne." He was succeeded bytheir son,

2. Kenneth, who supported Bruce in his contest with the Comyns. Hewas succeeded by his son,

3. Kenneth na Sroine, who married Finguala, daughter of MacLeod ofLewis. He was executed by the Earl of Ross at Inverness, and succeeded bytheir son,

4. Murdoch Dow, who married a daughter of "MacCaula of Lochbroom."He was succeeded by his son,

5. Murdoch Nidroit ("of the bridge"), so called because his motherwhile pregnant with him had been saved from a fall at the bridge ofScatwell. He married Fingala, daughter of MacLeod of Harris. He wassucceeded by his son,

6. Alexander Ionraic ("the upright"), who married (1) Anna,daughter of MacDougal of Lorne, by whom he had Kenneth and Duncan, and(2) Margaret, daughter of MacDougal of Morir.

The shorter manuscript history of the Mackenzies, b ?y the first Earlof Cromartie, was soon followed by THE GENEALOGIE OF THE SURNAME OFM'KENZIE SINCE THEIR COMING INTO SCOTLAND collected in 1667 by JohnMackenzie of Applecross, a friend of the first Earl, and copied from theformer's papers in 1670. This manuscript was published in 1916 as volumeII of HIGHLAND PAPERS and volume XII of PUBLICATIONS OF THE SCOTTISHHISTORY SOCIETY (second series). The pedigree of the early Mackenziechiefs as set forth in the Applecross manuscript follows:

PEDIGREE II

1. Kenneth, son of Colin Fitzgerald and the daughter of KennethMatheson, was named for his maternal grandfather. He married a daughterof MacIver, and was succeeded by his son,

2. Murdoch, who married a daughter of MacAulay. He was succeeded by

3. Kenneth na sroine, who married a daughter of MacDougall of Lorn,whom he caused to be thrown over the bridge at Scatwell while she waspregnant with

4. Murdoch na drochaid ("of the bridge"), w ?ho married adaughter of MacLeod of Lewis. He was executed by the Earl of Ross atInverness, and was succeeded by

5. Murdoch dubh, known as Black Murdoch of the cave. He married adaughter of MacLeod of Harris, and they were the parents of

6. Alexander Ionraic ("the upright"). He was brought up byMacDougall of Lorn, and married (1) a daughter of MacDougall of Lorn, bywhom he had Kenneth and Duncan, and (2) a daughter of MacRanald.

It is widely believed that John Mackenzie of Applecross borrowed theColin Fitzgerald descent from the first Earl of Cromartie and that theyboth relied upon one or more earlier manuscripts that no longer exist.

The foregoing are the only published seventeenth century manuscripthistories of the family. Several later unpublished family histories bycompilers, including the Rev. John Macrae, Hector Mackenzie, Dr. GeorgeMackenzie, and Captain John Matheson of Bennets-field, are held inScottish libraries, but they are not readily accessible because they arein manuscript form only.

In 1833, an ancient parchment now known as the manuscript of 1467 wasfound by William F. Skene in the Advocates' Library in Edinburgh. Themanuscript is a compilation of crude lists of names, believed to be thepedigrees of the chiefs of most of the highland clans up to about 1400.According to Skene, the manuscript was compiled by an Irish sennacheemployed by Clan Maclachlan as indicated by the fact that the pedigreeof that clan is quite detailed and includes intermarriages.

In 1834, Skene published his English translation of this manuscript involume 1, part 1, of the TRANSACTIONS OF THE IONA CLUB, at 54. In anote, Skene pointed out that the manuscript established "[t]hecomparatively late invention of many of the traditionary origins of allthe highland clans."

Skene became more specific in his THE HIGHLANDERS OF SCOTLAND (1836), inwhich he attacked the notion that the Mackenzies were descended fromColin Fitzgerald as claimed by the 17th century, and subsequent, familyhistorians. First, at 187-188, he stated that whenever a clan tradition,such as that of the Mackenzies, asserts a marriage of the foreign founderof the clan with the heiress of that family, the family claiming theforeign founder is invariably the oldest cadet of the family which hassomehow usurped the power and estates of the clan chief. It thenattempts to conceal the defect in its right by blood by asserting theforeign founder who married the chief's heiress.

Second, Skene, at 325-326, stated that the documents frequently quoted assupporting a Mackenzie descent from Colin Fitzgerald were either (1)non-existent, (2) inconclusive, or (3) "a forgery of later times." Notonly was there no documentary support for the claimed descent from ColinFitzgerald, such a descent was rejected by the manuscript of 1467, whichshows a Gaelic descent from Gilleoin of the Aird.

In his THE EARLS OF CROMARTIE (1876) volume I, at v, William (Sir) Frasersets forth a Mackenzie pedigree in tabular form which provides the basisfor the following:

PEDIGREE III

1. Kenneth, son of Colin Fitzgerald and a daughter of KennethMacMahon or Matheson, married Morba Macdowal, daughter of Alexander Lordof Lorn, and was succeeded by

2. Kenneth Mackenneth, who married Margaret, daughter of David deStrathbogie, Earl of Athol. He was succeeded by

3. Kenneth Mackenzie, who married Fynvola, daughter of RoderickMacleod of Lewis. He was succeeded by

4. Murdoch Mackenzie. who married Isabel, daughter of MurdochMacAulay. He was succeeded by

5. Murdoch Mackenzie, who married Fingala, daughter of Macleod ofHarris. He was succeeded by

6. Alexander Mackenzie, who married (1) Agnes Campbell, daughter ofColin, Earl of Argyll, and (2) Margaret Macdougal, "a daughter of theHouse of Lorn." The mother of his son Kenneth is not identified.

Fraser, who published his history forty years after Skene's THEHIGHLANDERS OF SCOTLAND, stoutly defends the genuiness of the documentsupon which the claim of a descent from Colin Fitzgerald is based anddeclares the manuscript of 1467 to be "quite fabulous." He adheres, inmost respects, to the pedigrees contained in the 17th century Mackenziefamily histories. As the historian an d patron of the Earls ofCromartie, Fraser no doubt felt pressured to uphold the theories advancedby the first Earl in his history of the family.

Only three years later, Major James D. Mackenzie of Findon published hisGENEALOGICAL TABLES OF THE CLAN MACKENZIE (1879). The notes whichaccompany the tables, at 7-10, set forth the following:

PEDIGREE IV

1. Kenneth, son of Colin, "the 'Gerald' of tradition, or of earlyCeltic or Irish derivation" and a daughter of Kenneth Macmahon ofLochalsh. He married Morba, daughter of Alexander MacDougall of Lorne.He was succeeded by

2. Kenneth "or in some manuscripts Murdoch." He married Margaret,daughter of David de Strathbolgy, eleventh Earl of Athol. He fought atBannockburn, 1314, and was succeeded by

3. Kenneth na Sroine of Kintail, who married Fynvola (or Finguala),daughter of Torquil MacLeod II of Lewis. The compiler notes that,according to Dr. George Mackenzie, Kenneth was murdered by the Earl ofRoss at Perth. His only son,

4. Murdoch Dubh, is said to have been conveyed to the Lewis uponhis father's death and to have been called "of the caves" because he leda "hole in the corner existence" before he was able to regain hisfather's estates. He married Isabel, daughter of MacAulay of Lochbroom,and was succeeded by his son,

5. Murdoch na Drochaid ("of the bridge"). He married Finguala,daughter of MacLeod, chief of Harris, by whom he had one son,

6. Alexander Ionraic (the upright"), who married (1) Anna, daughterof MacDougall of Dunollie of the lineage of Lorn, by whom he had Kennethand Duncan, and (2) "another MacDougall or MacCoull of Morar, or 'Morir'on the mainland."

James D. Mackenzie of Findon vigorously attacked the reliability of themanuscript of 1467 as well as the writings of Skene and others thatquestioned the existence of Colin Fitzgerald. As is clear from PedigreeIV above, the compiler was willing to concede only the possibility thatColin was not of Irish origin while at the same time insisting that hewas the founder of the clan, whatever his origin may have been. James D.Mackenzie was the last Mackenzie historian of consequence to adhere tothe 17th century family histories and to the claimed descent from Colin.

Alexander Mackenzie was the first historian of the family to adopt manyof Skene's views as well as his translation of the manuscript of 1467.He published his HISTORY OF THE CLAN MACKENZIE in 1879, a work which wasfirst serialized, beginning in 1877, in THE CELTIC MAGAZINE, volume III,a periodical which he edited.

Skene published the third volume of his mature work CELTIC SCOTLAND in1880. In the revised 1890 edition of this volume, Skene discusses therole and reliability of clan genealogies. In his view, stated at338-339, the clan pedigrees contained in 14th and 15th century Irishmanuscripts, including the manuscript of 1467, "as far back as theeponymous or common ancestor from which the clan takes its name, are ingeneral tolerably well vouched, and may be held to be authentic," but theearly historic portions of these pedigrees, "when analyzed, prove to beentirely artificial and untrustworthy."

At 346 et seq., Skene explains that, in 1597, the Parliament held atEdinburgh passed an act which required that inhabitants of the highlandsshow by what right they possessed their lands. Many of the clans, whichhad at one time held charters to their lands, had lost them during theconflicts that followed the forfeiture of the Lords of the Isles. Manytimes, lands were feudally vested in an alien family, but actuallypossessed by competing clans. Other clans had held their lands for timeimmemorial, maintained by the sword. The chiefs "found themselvescompelled to defend their rights upon grounds which could compete withthe claims of their eager opponents, and to maintain an equality of rankand prestige with them in the Herald's Office." They did not hesitate"to put forward spurious pedigrees better calculated to maintain theirposition when a native descent had lost its value and was too weak toserve the purpose."

According to Skene, at 349, from this period, the "manuscript historiesof the leading highland families began to be compiled, in which thesepretensions were advanced and spurious charters inserted." At 351-354,he states that "the most remarkable of these spurious origins is thatclaimed by the Mackenzies," first put forward by the first Earl ofCromartie. "[T]he evidence of the construction of a false legend is toopalpable to be disputed." At 353 note 28, Skene says that other chartersnot related to Colin Fitzgerald "said to be granted by David II in 1360and Robert III in 1380, are equally suspicious."

Skene's English translation of the genealogy of the Clan Kenneth, as setforth in the manuscript of 1467, beginning with the most recent person inthe pedigree is printed at 485: "Murdoch son of Kenneth son of John sonof Kenneth son of Angus son of Cristin son of Kenneth son of Gilleeoin ogson of Gilleeoin of the Aird." In a note, Skene explains that heregarded the listing of Agad (Adam) in the manuscript as the father ofCristin as a mistake which he corrected by substituting the name ofKenneth, as shown in the Black Book of Clanranald by MacVurich.

In compiling his revised HISTORY OF THE MACKENZIES, published in 1894,Alexander Mackenzie rejected the claimed descent from Colin Fitzgerald,as he had in his earlier HISTORY OF THE CLAN MACKENZIE (1879), and quotedSkene's THE HIGHLANDERS OF SCOTLAND and CELTIC SCOTLAND several times andat length. The pedigree of the early Mackenzie chiefs set forth in the1894 history and below is substantially the same as in the earlier 1879history:

PEDIGREE V

1. Kenneth, who is placed fourth from the top in the Mackenziepedigree in the manuscript of 1467. In accordance with that manuscript,Kenneth's father is listed as Angus, but his mother is not identified.He married Morna or Morba, daughter of Alexander Macdougall of Lorn "deErgedia," by a daughter of John the first Red Comyn. He died in 1304 andwas succeeded by their only son,

2. John Mackenzie, aided the Bruce and married Margaret, daughterof David de Strathbogie, 11th Earl of Atholl, by Joan, daughter of John,the Red Comyn. He died in 1328 and was succeeded by his only son,

3. Kenneth Mackenzie na sroine, who led the clan during troubledtimes and was eventually executed at Inverness in 1346 at the order ofthe Earl of Ross. He was married to Finguala, or Florence, daughter ofTorquil Macleod II of Lewis, and succeeded by his only son,

4. Murdoch Mackenzie, who was known as Black Murdoch of the caveand as Murdoch Dubh. He married Isabel, only child of Macaulay ofLochbroom and died in 1375, being succeeded by his son,

5. Murdoch Mackenzie, known as Murdoch of the bridge, who marriedFinguala, or Florence, daughter of Malcolm Macleod III of Harris andDunvegan. Murdoch died in 1416, and was succeeded by his only son,

6. Alexander Mackenzie Ionraic, who married twice. First hemarried Anna, daughter of John Macdougall of Dunolly, and his secondmarriage was to Margaret, daughter of Macdonald of Morar, a cadet ofClanranald. He explains that some of the family manuscripts identifyMargaret as a daughter of M'Couil or Macdougall of Morar but that all ofthese named wives are really the same person, as one of the families ofClanranald or Moydart or Morar was named "Macdougall" after its ancestor,Dougald Macranald. Alexander was succeeded by Kenneth, a son by hisfirst wife.

Skene's THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND was republished in 1902 without changeother than the addition of extensive notes by Alexander Macbain to theoriginal text. At 408, Macbain says that Skene has made "overmuch use"of the manuscript of 1467 and that where it stands alone, as in the caseof Clan Mackenzie, "it has to be used with caution, even as late as1400," which is about the date that that pedigree ends. In commenting onSkene's discussion of charters that relate to the early Mackenzie chiefs,Macbain states, at 417, that "little or nothing is known of their historyuntil the forfeiture of the last Earl--1463. Anything before that isspurious."

The article on MacKenzie, Earl of Seaforth, set forth in volume 7 of THESCOTS PEERAGE (1910), beginning at 495, was written by Peter J.Anderson. The compiler sets forth the following:

PEDIGREE VI

1. Kenneth, said to have married Morna, daughter of AlexanderMacdougal of Lorn. He died in 1304 and was succeeded by their son,

2. John Mackenzie, who supported Bruce. He is said to have marriedMargaret, daughter of David de Strathbogie, Earl of Atholl. He died in1338 and was succeeded by their son,

3. Kenneth Mackenzie na sroine, who appears to have been inconstant strife with the Earl of Ross by whom he was made prisoner andexecuted in 1346. He is said to have married Fynvola, daughter ofTorquil Macleod of Lewis. He was succeeded by their son,

4. Murdoch Mackenzie of the cave, who is said by the first EarlCromartie to have had a charter from King David II, the authenticity ofwhich "is not now admitted by genealogists." He is said to have marriedIsabel, a daughter of Murdoch Macaulay of Lochbroom. He died in 1375 andwas succeeded by their son,

5. Murdoch Mackenzie of the bridge, who is said by the first EarlCromartie to have had a charter from King Robert II, a charter "not nowbelieved to be authentic." He is said to have married Fynvola, daughterof Malcolm Macleod of Harris. He died in 1416 and was succeeded by theirson,

6. Alexander Mackenzie Ionraic, who had, in 1463, from John, Earlof Ross, a charter of the lands of Killin, Garve, Kinlochluiconan andothers, and in 1477 a Crown charter of Strathconan, Strathgarve,Strathbraan and others, forfeited by the Earl of Ross. He married (1)Anna, daughter of John Macdougall of Dunolly, and (2) Margaret, daughterof "M'Coull of Morir." He died in 1488 and was succeeded by Kenneth, hisson by his first marriage.

Although Anderson claimed that he was setting forth the pedigree ofchiefs given by the first Earl Cromartie, a comparison of the pedigree inTHE SCOTS PEERAGE with Pedigrees I and V, above, shows that he relied farmore upon Alexander Mackenzie than the first Earl as his source. Thearticle gives continuing currency to this particular version of thepedigree of the early Mackenzie chiefs, while at the same timedisparaging its authority on the ground that there is "no record evidencefor the existence of any of them previous to Alexander MackenzieIonraic,'" and by the continuing use of "said to have been" in hisidentification of the chiefs' wives. He casts further doubt on theidentification of Margaret Strathbogie as the wife of John Mackenzie,noting, at 496, that "no record of this daughter has been discovered."

In his introduction to the Applecross manuscript, published in 1916,several years after the appearance of the Seaforth article in THE SCOTSPEERAGE, J. R. N. Macphail noted, at 4, "that there is no record evidencefor the existence of any of the alleged chiefs prior to Kenneth-a-bhlair,who rose to a position of some importance towards the end of thefifteenth century, on the fall of John, Lord of the Isles and Earl ofRoss." At 13 note 2, Macphail rejects the charters relied upon byAnderson, set forth in line 6 of Pedigree VI as proof of the existence ofAlexander Mackenzie Ionraic, on the ground that "the authority cited isonly an Inventory of the Allangrange Papers. He does not appear in theRegister of the Great Seal or other public records."

The 20th century historians have looked with even greater skepticism atthe traditional listing of the chiefs who precede Alexander Ionraic,based on the lack of any record evidence of their existence and the factthat the early pedigrees are contradictory.

"The early ancestry of the M'millan chiefs is given in the collection ofWest Highland and Island genealogies generally known as MS 1467 (from thedate at which these pedigrees were at first thought to have been compiled- though they are now usually dated to about the year 1400). The MS 1467pedigree goes from the clan's namefather Gilchrist Maolan / Gillemaol toMalcolm Og, who must therefore have been chief in about 1400."

"The line from Malcolm Og to Alexander MacMillan of Knap can be deducedwith some degree of confidence, but from Alexander's son Malcolm toArchibald MacMillan of Dunmore it is by no means certain; the doubtfulconnections being indicated on the pedigree below by dotted lines. Itshould be remembered that not all the people shown on this genealogy werechiefs of the clan; and that not all the early chiefs of the clan areshown on it (the chiefship in medieval times being shared betweendifferent lines according to Celtic succession practices). It is alsoassumed that other descendants of Malcolm mac Alexander of Knap may havebeen the rightful chiefs in the sixteenth and seventeenth century beforesurrendering the leadership of the clan - in so far as they ever actuallyexercised it at this time - to the wealthier and better-connected Dunmorefamily.

22983 See also "Notes on a Few Female Ancestors of John Munro" shown underJohn's "Spouses" as an "Other".

"From Hector, to his son Robert; then to Robert's son Hugh of Assynt;then to Hugh's son William of Mid-Swordell; then to William's son George;and then to George's son "John who went to the Armie to Worcester 1651'."

My wife's descent from a John Munro, who was captured at the Battle ofWorcester and then deported as an indentured servant, along with a greatmany other Scottish prisoners from the battle, to Boston, is quite clear.
It cannot really be proved that John Munro, the prisoner, is the sameJohn Munro "who went to the Armie to Worcester," but it seems highlylikely. No other Munro line has claimed him as its ancestor, and, in theabsence of information that there were any other John Munros at thebattle, I think that there is a presumption that soldier John andprisoner John were the same person."

"John Munro fought in the Battle of Worcester and was banished to NewEngland by Oliver Cromwell along with his brother Hugh and his uncleRobert. They were shipped, along with other relatives, on the ships"John" and "Sarah", which left England on 11 November 1651. He arrived inBoston in February 1652. On 28 January 1674, he was one of the witnessesto the purchase of Sakonnet (Little Compton, Rhode Island) by ConstantSouthworth from the Indian Squaw Sachem Awashunks. By 1689 he lived inBristol, Rhode Island and was listed in the Census as G. Row (G. is atitle, it stands for Goodman. It is a little lower than Mr.). On 10November 1691, an inventory of his estate was taken in Bristol, RhodeIsland. He descended from Robert Munro, 14th Baron of Foulis (Fowlis),through his third son Hugh Munro I of Assynth. See, "History of theMunros of Fowlis," by MacKenzie. President James Monroe was descendedthrough Robert Munro, 14th Baron of Foulis's son George, and his sonGeorge."

Has information on the son Thomas and says

"...taken prisoner in the Battle of Worcester, the disastrous defeat ofthe Royalist supporters of King Charles II by the forces of OliverCromwell. It was the custom in those days to deport prisoners of war,consigning them to some wealthy man who, in return for paying theirpassage, would be given the privilege of selling their services (fortwenty or thirty pounds) for periods of from six to eight years. InNovember 1651 the prisoners taken at the Battle of Worcester wereconsigned to Mr. Thomas Kemble of Boston and were shipped across theAtlantic in the "John and Sarah." Mr. Kemble was a well-to-do merchantand lumber dealer with interests in northern New England as well asMassachusetts, and he probably had no trouble disposing of his unhappycargo to planters and manufacturers throughout the area. Some of the menhe may have sold for work in the iron bogs of Lynn, Saugus, Braintree orTaunton.
The record of the consignment to Mr. Kemble of the 272 prisoners on the"John and Sarah," together with their names, appears in the Deeds ofSuffolk County, Book I, page 5. In the list are four Munrows - Robert,John, Hugh and another whose first name was torn so that it could not beread, but which Mr. Mackenzie and other historians believe to be William.
One of the early settlers at Cambridge Farms (now part of Lexington) wasa William Munroe who became the founder of the large Lexington Munroefamily. He is known to have been born in Scotland in 1625, and both Mr.Mackenzie and John G. Locke, a former historian of the town of Lexington,believe that he is identical with William, son of Robert of Aldie, bornin 1625 and captured in the Battle of Worcester. Robert of Aldie's sonWilliam is known to have been deported, hence the historians' belief thatthe obliterated name on the passenger list of the "John and Sarah" isWilliam. Mr. Mackenzie died before he could establish the ancestry of thethree other Munrows on this ship, but he did believe that there was ablood relationship between the four men and that Robert, John or Hugh wasthe founder of the Munroe family of Bristol, R. I. It is my belief thatit was John Munrow who was the founder of this family."

"In 1348, Elizabeth Mure, daughter of Sir Adam of Rowallan and
Janet, heiress of Polkelly, married Robert Stewart, son of WalterfitzAlan, high steward of Scotland. Robert Stewart's mother was Margery,daughter of Robert the Bruce. When Robert the Bruce's son, David, diedwithout issue, Robert Stewart became king of Scotland, as Robert II. Ishould also note that when Robert Stewart and Elizabeth Mure married thatthey had to obtain a dispensation from the Pope as "the parties were inthe fourth degree of consanguinity." I don't profess to know what thismeans as to proximity of relationship, but it would appear to have beenclose.
> Elizabeth Mure had siblings, Adam Jr., heir of Rowallan, Andrew, andAlexander. In 1417 there is a document that gives "to a noblemanAlexander Mure" various lands, but the important part is that the subnotedescribes them as "comprehended in the barony of STRATHAVEN, LANARKSHIRE.This grant was given Alexander Mure by an Earl Douglas, husband of RobertIII's daughter, Margaret"

"Hugh Ross of Rarichies and lst of Balnagowan was the son of Hugh 5th
Earl of Ross by the Earl's second wife, Margaret Graham, daughter of Sir
David Graham of Montrose. Earl Hugh's first wife, whom he married in
1308, was Lady Maud (Matilda) Bruce, sister of King Robert I. According
to Alison Weir, who agrees that Maud was Hugh's first wife, Maud died
between 1323 and 1329. The latter date coincides with the date of the
papal dispensation for Earl Hugh's second marriage, which, according to
F. N. Reid's THE EARLS OF ROSS, at 4, was "long after they were married."

If we assume that Earl Hugh remarried in 1323, the earliest year in
which his first wife may have died, their son Hugh Ross, later ofRarichies and Balnagowan, could not have been born until 1324 or later..."
