William Hunter (Freeman of Prestwick c1800)
« on: Sunday 12 June 11 17:44 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I've traced my family tree back to William Hunter and his wife Margaret McClatchie. William was a Freeman of Prestwick circa1800. Does anyone have information re his forebears?

Do you know if your Margaret had a sister named Christian McClatchie (M'Clatchie)?

Hi,

I don't know if Margaret and Christian were sisters. I know that Christian McClatchie was married to an Adam Hunter in Prestwick at around the same time so it is reasonable to think that William and Adam were related and that Margaret and Christian were also related.

Adam Hunter who was married to Christian McClatchie is the son of John Hunter Freeman of Prestwick and Anna Lees.  John did have a brother named William but I have his wife as Jean Wilson.  I do not see a lot of McClatchie's in that area around that time so also suspect that Christian and Margaret many be related as well.
