Hi Folks, Hi Brian! ...Happy New Year.

I have been getting back into a bit of research trying to find someone - anyone called Hunter who is related to me. Its my quest for 2007.

I have set out some info below, working back from my Grandfather , with bros./sisters in brackets..is there an easier place to do this on line?

If I am breaking a rule webmaster - sorry!!

David Hunter (born 1886, Easter Glentore) (his brothers were Peter 1890 Easter G'tore & William Milligan Hunter 1887 ditto, his sister was Agnes 1884).

William Hunter (1857, Stanrigg) married Jane Milligan (His brother's were Peter born 1855, Stanrigg & David 1859, Stanrigg (who I know married Mary Turnbull in 1889 and had at least 1 son), his sisters were Christina, Janet, Ann, Mary)

David Hunter (born 1826 Tillicoultry) Married Ann Russell (His two Brothers were William born 1829, Rawyards & Thomas born 1837, Rawyards)

William Hunter (??) married to Agnes Cample/Campbell not much on them at all but clearly they moved from Tillicoultry to Airdrie between 1826 and 1828.

To a man, they were Miners...my own father (yes another David) had his own stint in the pits during the war poor guy and I was the first since about the 1820's to not have mining as the only thing I could do.

Hope that this chimes with someone out there.

Davie.

Actually, I think I have put this on the wrong site!!! No harm meant.

Brian I think I remember an email from you last year directing me to somewhere where I added a piece on an American Civil War General called David Hunter.

Can you help redirect me again.

Hi Davie

I believe that your topic about General David Hunter was posted on the Rootsweb Clan Hunter message Board.

    The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition£¬and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words "thank you" and she died. I could not help but examine my consciencebefore her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. (wow goldI would have tried to draw a little attention to)myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. As did that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. "I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for." And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.
    I believe that we are not real social workers. We may be doing social work in the eyes of the people, but we are really contemplatives in the heart of the world. For we are touching the body of Christ twenty-four hours¡And I think that in our family we don't need bombs and guns, to destroy, to bring peace, just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. (wow power leveling,) And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.
    ¡¡And with this prize that I have received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace be the good news to the poor. The poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. To be able to do this, our Sisters, our lives have to be wove with prayer. They have to be woven with Christ to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because to be woven with Christ is to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because today there is so much suffering¡When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied. (world of warcraft power leveling,) I have removed that hunger. But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society-that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable¡And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.
