http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25150674

Notebook containing lists and accounts (1776-82) of the Third Co. (Cambridge), First Middlesex Regiment of the Mass. Militia during the Revolution. Munro, as company clerk, kept lists of officers and enlisted men, training lists, accounts of money raised to hire men, and lists of troop assignments, including the guarding of prisoners, on the front lines in Boston, and on expeditions to Canada and Horseneck, N.Y. The book also contains notes on the actions of Cambridge selectmen (1777), ministers, and weather, as well as a list of baptisms at the First Parish of Cambridge from 1783-1854. Munro was a deacon at the parish from 1783 until his death in 1804 at which time the notes were continued, presumably by another member of the Munro/Munroe family.
