Archibald Mor Munro

He was trying to lead cattle across the Thames River near Wardsville when the accident took place. It is said that he was trying to cross the river, he slipped on a rock and fell and hit his head.

Munro's land in Aldborough and later move to Kilmartin, Mosa Twp.Ontario, Canada. Buried in Kilmartin Cemetery, Archibald Mor Munro and his older brother Neil Ban Munro, came to Canada in 1818 on the ship named Mars. Farms in Aldborough and Kilmartin, Ontario (Neil ban married Janet Ferguson) Archibald whose nickname was Mor, married Janet Smith. I would love to find out more information about Janet. All I have is born 1801, died Dec 25, 1859. If anyone has information about the Smiths of that time and the Aldborough/Kilmartin Area, please contact me. Archie and Janet had many children, on being their eldest son Malcolm, who had to run the farm with his Mom after Archie Mor Munroe drown in the Thames River. (slipped and hit his head) Malcolm would marry Margaret McLarty. Malcolm called Calum Mac as he sold pigs to Hiriam Walker of the Whiskey fame. Again they had many children, however their youngest son Neil would marry Sarah Leitch. Neil's nickname was Chicago Neil! Neil and Sarah had Malcolm, Archie, Mary Ellen (who died after a dentist appointment) Leonard and Garfield. Garfield and his son Glen run Munro Insurance, now Munro & Pole Insurance in Glencoe, Ontario, Canada.
