Scottish School, 19th century ANDREW HUNTER, CAP` N. AYRSHIRE MILITIA 1810, BUST LENGTH Miniature on ivory 8cm high ebonised frame. See photo plate xi - `The Pedigree of Hunter of Abbotshill and Barjarg`, published 1905. Andrew Hunter of Bonnytoun and Doonholm, was born in 1776. He first went to sea from Greenock in the Countess of Haddingion, bound for the West Indies and America. In October, he was drafted to the Resistance (forty-four guns) and sailed in November for the Cape and East Indies, and while cruising off Mauritius captured a French fifty gun ship. In June 1794, while cruising in the Straits of Malacca, they seized a French twenty-gun ship, and Mr Hunter was sent as one of the officers in charge. In May 1803, his ship was captured by a French privateer, and he was landed at Analaboo, a Malay settlement, where he lived for six weeks, and in July was taken off by an American vessel and went to Muckee, where he heard of a Captain Petbury having been stabbed by the natives at Soosu and his ship in their possession. Mr Hunter then set off in an open boat to retake the ship, but was unfortunately blown off the shore and picked up by an American vessel, which succeeded in retaking the ship, and brought her to Sappanooly. During Mr Hunter`s next voyage, in July 1806, his vessel was captured by the French frigate, La Similliante (forty guns, Captain Motard), in September he was landed at the Isle of Bourbon, and in November taken to the Isle of France (now called Mauritius). After remaining in India for four months, he sailed for England, where he arrived in March 1808. In July 1808, he joined the Ayrshire Regiment as a Captain at Gosport, finally resigning in January 1810. Mr.Hunter was a Deputy-Lieutenant for the county of Ayr, and was gazetted Captain of the 2nd (or Cunningham and Cumnock) Ayrshire Yeomanry Cavalry on 28 June 1821.
