However, I could only find these two references to 18th century cabinetmakers by the name of J Munro, they may even be one and the same person - the dates fit together rather well. <br /><br />I doubt I'll ever find out out if the man is linked to the plane, but if I can find anything to link Rev Munro with John Clark I'll be delighted.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16318609298794308615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841543812574325787.post-47669992588950504612016-09-26T16:25:11.241+01:002016-09-26T16:25:11.241+01:00The Munro clan is big, and known for being warrior...The Munro clan is big, and known for being warriors and clergy, so the haystack is going to be large.<br /><br />Derek Long, of the American Munros thanks to Charles II.Derek Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919744398323462327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841543812574325787.post-57367952872619139632016-09-04T03:20:29.363+01:002016-09-04T03:20:29.363+01:00I would like to thank you for the efforts you have...I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article.
