Hunter Family
The Hunter family’s lineage can be traced back to approximately 1751, with Thomas Hunter, born around that era, though there is no existing record to confirm this. On 11 May 1776, Thomas tied the knot with Elspeth Thomson, and together they brought eight children into the world, all of whom were born in Dysart, Fife.
Among their offspring, Ebenezer, the second youngest, came into the world on May 30, 1797. Ebenezer would later wed Christian Thomson, and their union bore a son, who was aptly named after Ebenezer’s own father, Thomas. Ebenezer’s occupation was that of a coal miner, a profession that often necessitated migration in search of employment opportunities. Sometime between 1799 and 1841, the Hunter family relocated to Lightburn, Glasgow. Subsequently, between 1841 and 1851, they made yet another move, settling in Dalry, Ayrshire. Regrettably, records of either Ebenezer or Christian’s deaths remain elusive. Thus, it is presumed that both passed away between 1851 and 1855.
