Henry Munro (1758 – 1798) was a United Irishman born in Lisburn, County Down. ==Life== He was the only son of a presbyterian tradesman of Scottish descent settled at Lisburn. His father died in 1793, leaving a widow, whose maiden name had been Gorman. She brought up Henry and her two daughters according to the principles of the church of England, and died at Lisburn about 1832. Henry received a good mercantile education in his native town, and having gone through an apprenticeship entered the linen business about 1788. He afterwards paid frequent visits to England to buy silks and cloth and sell linen. While still a youth he joined the volunteers, and is said to have been adjutant of the Lisburn corps. He is described as rather under the middle height, but strong and agile, with deep blue eyes and an intelligent expression ; honourable in his dealings and prosperous in trade, a good speaker, romantic in his views, without decided intellectual tastes. In 1795, he joined the United Irishmen, with the view of forwarding the cause of catholic emancipation and parliamentary reform. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Munro (United Irishman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
