Devon / General Caunter died intestate 1930s?

I am researching my grandmother's Caunter family from Devon. My mother told me she contested the estate of a very wealthy "General Caunter" possibly in the 1930s or 1940s(?) who had no will. Another woman also contested and was successful. My grandmother (Lily Beatrice Caunter 1896 -1976)did not succeed because of an illegitimate birth. I would love to know more about this and would welcome any help establishing who this "General Caunter" was.
