Question: would you know anything of the Hunters of Thurston (in Haddington)? East India Company family, I know a bit about James Hunter 3rd of Thurston, a Bengal CS, less of his father Robert, 2nd, described by Charles Adam in his report on the political state of Scotland: as 'A very rich man. Made his money in India. Married a sister of Mr Orde's, daughter of the late Chief Baron of the Exchequer of Scotland'. I have no knowledge of how he became rich. Merchant trader?
