Note:
This author mistakenly identifies the origins of the Catherine Munro of the older generation with the wife of the same name of the younger. William Baillie's wife was of the Foulis family of Munro, and his son Alexander's wife was of the Milntown Munros. The dates bear this out. 1 2 3
Catherine next married John MacCallum 'mor' MACPHERSON in Breakachie.2 (John MacCallum 'mor' MACPHERSON in Breakachie was born about 1550.)
