    Notes:

    (Research):The first Hunter of Bumside, or " the lands and barony of the Dod," Forfarshire, David Hunter, is noted as having, when a member of the Scots Estates, protested against the delivering up of Charles I. to the English parliament in January 1647. A descendant of his, the Mr. Hunter of Burnside of that day, was "out" in the rebellion of 1745, and afterwards escaped to France. He is mentioned in ' Roderick Random.' He was killed by a Frenchman in a brawl. His grandson, General David Hunter of Burnside, manned a daughter of William Douglas, Esq. of Brigton, Forfarshire, a descendant of Archibald fifth earl of Angus, called ' Bell-the- Cat,' and eat-granddaughter of Robert Douglas, bishop of Dunblane, who was deprived of his see at the Revolution. She died in 1846. Her son, Major William Hunter, younger of Burnside, was military secretary at Sidney, when Sir Richard Bourke was governor of New South Wales. He afterwards went to
    India, as aide-de-camp to his uncle, General George Hunter, in Scinde, and died there in 1845, before his father, General David Hunter of Burnside. His eldest son, David Hunter, succeeded to the estate, and died at Prospect-hill, Douglas, Isle of Man, October 1st, 1847, aged 26 years, leaving a son, William George Hunter, born at Prospect-hill, Isle of Man, on the 5th May preceding.

    Children:

  3. 6.  Robert (11th of Fintry) Graham was born in 1700 (son of David (10th of Fintry) Graham and Anne (of Abercairnie) Moray); died in 1756.

    Notes:

    From
    "STRATHENDRICK and its Inhabitants from Early Times"
    An Account of the Parishes of Fintry, Balfron, Fillearn, Brymen,Buchanan, and Kilmarnock.
    By John Gutherie Smith (F.S.A Scot.) (Author of "The Parish ofStrathblane"). 1896, James Maclehose and Sons (Publishers to theUniversity). Glasgow.

    The only son of David and Anne Moray, was married the 20th February 1735 at Dundee to Margaret Murray of Ochtertyre; she was born in 1716 and was one of the 19 children of Sir William Murray of Ochtertyre (10th in line and 3rd baronet) and Mrs Catherine Fraser, daughter of Lord Lovatt.
    I give their children as written in an old MS pedigree of Ochtertyre most carefully kept and which has generally been found to correct; the marriages, etc. in brackets attatchewd to their names, are from a family pedigree of Fintry which gives no dates.
    Ann born at Dundee Jan. 1736 (married Fletcher of Balanisloe)
    Katherine born at the Mains, 1737, (she died unmarried at Linlathen at the residence of her brother, April 13th 1764 and is called Miss Kathy Graham, second daughter of the late Robert Graham of Fintry).
    Elizabeth married Douglas of Brigton
    Margaret born at the Mains 1739 (married Alex Bower of Kilcaldrum)
    Amelia born at Foulis, November 1740 (not mentioned)
    Helen born at Foulis 1742; (died unmarried)
    David born at Foulis 1744 (H.E.I. Company's service)
    This pedigree omits the birth Robert (12th of Fintry) probably in 1741/43.
    There was also a son James born 1756; he died at Naples in 1779 a captain in the Atholl Highlanders.
    Their grandmother, Catherine Fraser, had been the daughter of Lord Lovat by the Lady Amelia Murray, daughter of the first Marquess of Atholl, whose wife, Lady Amelia Stanley, was daughter to the Earl of Derby and his Countess, Charlotte de la Tremouille, Queen in Man; the grahams of Fintry own a piece of the wedding dress of this celebrated lady who commanded personally the defence of Lathom Castle during the absence of her husband, the Earl of Derby.
    These marriage connections account for the following among the Fintry papers.
    In 1663 Mungo Murray, brother to the Earl of Atholl, signs a bond in 1663, at the Canongate, Edinburgh, for money due by him to William Murray of Ochtertyre.
    Also there is a bond which details the purchase of a horse by Lord Mungo Murray from William, Lord Nairne, "our brother German," which costs loo merks on 23rd June 1799.
    Another and more interesting paper gives a full account of the battle of Galashiels, when the Chevalier St George acting with the Spanish, failed in an invasion of Scotland in April 1719. Their force consisted of 400 Spanish and 1000 Highlanders. The Marquis of Tullibardine (the Jacobite son of the Whig Duke), the Earl Marischall and Seaforth were leaders.
    Robert Graham died at his house of Linlathen, Forfar, on October 21st, 1756, aged fifty-five, and was succeeded by his son; his widow died at Bridgetown, 24th January 1793.

    Robert married Margaret (of Ochtertyre) Murray in 1735. Margaret (daughter of Sir William (3rd Bt of Ochtertyre) Murray and Hon. Katherine (of Lovat) Fraser) was born in Unknown; died in 1758. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    a chirurgeon-apothecary in Forfar
    Ancestor of the Douglases of Brigton

    (Research):1718: About the beginning of last century one of the Reids sold part of the barony (Auchinleck) to a person named Smith, of Camno, who called his purchase 'Smithfield.' His son John, second of Smithfield, married a daughter of William of Douglas, who was ancestor of the family of Brigton, in Kinnettles, and Provost of Forfar. He was a son of Dr. Robert Douglas, Bishop of Brechin. Mr. Smith's only child, Catherine, married John Fife of Dron, and banker in Edinburgh. By the death of a descendant of theirs, who was a merchant in Glasgow, the estate came to Major David Fyffe of The Lodge, Broughty Ferry, and of Logie, Dundee, whose lady being of the family of Brigton, was a descendant of the Bishop of Brechin, and subsequently of Dunblane. The estate of Smithfield was acquired by the late John Shiell, solicitor, Dundee, and it now belongs to his Trustees.
