[D Ross family tree.ged]

There is also a record of an Elizabeth Hunter born to the same parents on 31/12/1727. This is very likely to be the same infant.[Ross family tree 1.FTW]

Wkipedia:
He (General Forbes) had married at Crailing, 2 June 1792, Elizabeth, eldest daughter and heiress of Walter Hunter, esq., of Polmood, in the county of Peebles, and Crailing, in the county of Roxburgh, by the Lady Caroline Mackenzie, fourth daughter of the Earl of Cromartie, and had ten children.

[Ross family tree 1.FTW]

There are a confusing number of Hunters in the Alloa are at this time and the LDS site has several cross-references between different families with two or three children with the same first name sometimes appearing. I have, through elimination and deduction, made the best attempt I can to be accurate though I do not claim to be 100% correct.

For example. there is a record of three John Hunters being born to the same parents. Also, this John Hunter is recorded as having two mothers - a Margaret Love as well as Katherine Snadon. However the dates for Margaret Love don't equate - she is supposed to have married his father when the latter was a month old!

There are also various spellings of both Katherine & Snadon, leading to the same record appearingin multiple guises.

The practice of Hunters, Patersons, Snadons and Mitchells inter-marrying doesn't help either.

John + Christian Hunter. Christian was born in 1700 in Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
