The pages of this volume contain the genealogy of the descendants of David Hunter, the immigrant, who came from Aghadowey, Ireland, with his wife, Margaret Martin. They set sail from Londonderry, Ireland, and settled at Ardoise, Nova Scotia, rather by fate than by plan.

1921    Mrs. Alonzo Hunter of Christobal, Canal Zone, Panama, visited the Hunter families in Nova Scotia. She was interested in the family history and contacted relatives among whom was Mrs. Jane (Hunter) Miller, (Mrs., H. H. Miller) Newport Station, who had in her possession records of this first Hunter family. They compiled the two pages with the heading “CHRISTOBAL, CANAL ZONE, Sept. 9, 1921” which gives us the basic Information,

1959    Two great great granddaughters of Lodowick and Jane Gillmore Hunter decided to make further research and to complete as far as possible the genealogy of the descendants of David Hunter, the immigrant, and his wife Margaret Martin Hunter

Extensive research has been made and many branches of the Hunter family have been contacted. We are very grateful to all who assisted us. We are especially indebted to Mrs. Laura (Hunter) Cox, Sweet’s Corner, Hants County, Nova Scotia, and to Mrs., Edna (Hunter) Huntley, Poplar Grove, also Hants County
