Died in the Battle of Pinkie.
Mungo Huntar (16th Laird) died for Mary at Pinkie in 1547.
The 16th. Laird of Hunterston, Kentigern or Mungo Huntar, left 4 childr
en (not 2 sons, as mentioned in said interesting and valuable book). O
ne of the 2 younger ? and perhaps, according to certain documents, illegit
imate ? son, was James, afterwards 1st. of Abbotshill. This is the link, n
ow accepted and almost certain, in spite of the time (mid 1500), of the Hu
nters of Abbotshill and the Hunters of Hunterston. James was the found
er of the Abbotshill line and Daniela and myself are descendents, throu
gh the Hunters of Doonholm cadet line, of Kentigern (or Mungo) Huntar, w
ho died at the battle of Pinkie in 1547.
