Hello! I am a descendent of Robert Hunter: "The Hunters of Kirkland stem from a son of the twentieth Laird, Robert. A grandson of the same Laird, also called Robert was Governor of Virginia and later Governor of New York." on my paternal side. "Robert Hunter, believed to have been the first Scottish governor of New York, previously held the same office in Virginia in 1707. In 1719 he returned to Britain, but on the accession of George II. he was reinstated as governor of New York and New Jersey. In 1728 he became governor of Jamaica and died there in 1734."
