Note: N45 He was of Kirkintilloch, in Dumfriesshire, and ]either he or his son James] was “supposedly the second son of Laird of Huntersholm in Polmuid.” (Lynne Gantt) [Not sure of what Lynne’s sources are.] --- “Portrait at Bothwell at Woodlands.”(Colin Cameron note). nb His grandson was a schoolmaster at Woodlands. - Colin Cameron’s cousin [how I have not determined] Mary Hunter, lived at Woodlands, Bothwell, in 1927 (address given when she stayed with Colin Cameron). --- The Woodlands estate at Bothwell was built in 1919 as part of the nationwide "homes for heroes" scheme and was the first county council housing estate in the area. --- It seems he may well descends from the Hunters of Abbotshill, Ayr? --- Abbotshill is 35 miles from Morton, Thornill, Dumfriesshire, where this man’s grandson was born. --- See: (Record of Hunter of Hunterston Ayrshire, Scotland by Mary Alice (Hunter) Bull . 1902.)
