Munro, Hugh
(1748?-24 Dec. 1821), U E Loyalist. Born in Scotland. He went to New York colony in 1773 with his wife Catherine Campbell. Hugh Munro served in the King's Royal Regiment of New York in the Revolutionary War but he may not have achieved, as he is assumed in some sources to have done, the rank of lieutenant. In GC, he settled first on Lot 22 in the 1st Concession South of the Raisin River, in Charlottenburgh Township, one mile south of Martintown. After living there for close to 20 years, he moved to Lot 19 in the 9th Concession of Charlottenburgh Township. His wife died in 1838, having outlived her husband by some 16 years. They are buried in St. Andrew’s cemetery, Williamstown, where their descendant Hugh Munro the manufacturer, revering their memory, erected a gravestone for them.
