The genealogy of the families of Douglas of Mulderg and Robertson of Kindeace (page 5 of 58) lists Williams wife as Jannet nee Douglas, not Margaret, so I'm not sure which is correct. Refer to the extract below:

"3. Jannet Douglas married William Munro, of the 42nd Regiment, a cadet of the Lealty family, parish of Alness. He was tacksman of Ketwell, and died April, 1786, aged 63. She died at Ardullie, parish of Kiltearn, 3rd March, 1831, in her 80th year. She was distinguished for personal godliness and living a life of prayer. Issue —
(l). A daughter, who died in infancy. (2). Robert, died abroad.
(3). George, died abroad.
(4). Gilbert, died in England.

(5). William, married an English lady, and left issue — Colonel William Munro, in the 39th Regiment, and three other sons, two of whom were in the army, and eight daughters, some married and some unmarried.
(6). Esther, married her cousin, Mr Alexander Sutherland, Ardullie. Issue — (la) Cecilia, died unmarried; (2a) Robert, died in Australia, 1862 ; (Sa) Jessie, married Mr Hector Suther- land, late banker, Beauly, and had children.
