The Hunters of Long Calderwood

It has been suggested, although evidence of relationship has not been found, that the ancestor of Hunter of Long Calderwood was Francis Hunter, son of Patrick Hunter of Hunterston. James Paterson said this in his history of the Counties of Ayr and Wigton: "Francis, from whom it is supposed that the Hunters of Long Calderwood were descended, and of which family was the eminent physician, Dr. Wm. Hunter, who was the son of John Hunter of Long Calderwood, by Agnes Paul, his wife, daughter of Mr Paul, sometime Treasurer of Glasgow, who was born 23d May, 1718, at Easter Kilbride, in Lanarkshire". Ayr and Wigton III: 352 Clan Hunter promotes the same proposition: "Francis, from whom it is supposed that the Hunters of Long Calderwood were descended", Hunters of Scotland: Part 3
