His sister Jessie Love Glen Rae (1806-1843) married Captain Hector Munro born 1796, died 1868 Galt, Ont. Canada. Hector Munro fought in the War of 1812 at Lundy's Lane and Chrysler's farm.

George Gower Munro had a daughter Maggie Georgina Granville Gower Munro (1851-1933) - my great grandmother. She married John Milne Bruce in 1870 and had kids William Hector, Alexander Stuart, Isabella Catherine and Maggie Glen Bruce (married Phineas DeVere Hunt).
