| Notes |
- General David Hunter, 9th Laird of Burnside, succeeded his father and married Margaret Douglas. His son, Major William, pre-deceased him so the estate went to his grandson.
General David Hunter, was born in 1765. He married Margaret Douglas, daughter of William Douglas, 2nd of Brigton, in 1794 and inherited the estate on his father's death in 1809 when he became 9th Laird of Burnside. He was appointed Lieutenant Colonel of the Angus Fencibles, started by his father, on the 20th of October 1794. In 1802 the Angusshire Fencibles were disbanded in Perth on the 19th July. This was in line with a new government idea and David was promoted Colonel and transferred on the 29th of April 1802. He was awarded his Major General on the 25th of October 1809 and Lieutenant General on the 4th of June 1814.
