Excerpt from The Munroe GenealogyIn the reigns of Charles I and II, there were 3 Generals, 8 Colonels, 5 Lieut. Cols., 11 Majors, and 30 Captains by the name of Monro. Robert, the XXVII Bar., while Governor of Inverness, had a regiment of 400 of his name under pay.During the l6th and 17th centuries, the Monros of Great Britain were firm defenders of the Protestant religion, both at home and in Sweden, and they had their full share in many a well-fought battle. When some one spoke to the late Col. William Munroe, of Lexington, about the bravery displayed by the Munroes in the Revolution, he replied, No wonder at all, sir, they have Irish, Scotch, and Yankee blood in their veins.The foregoing is principally taken from a history of the Monros, written by Dr. Doddridge, and published in an Appendix to the Life of Col. Gardiner. It is a very interesting history, and I regret I have not room for t of it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
