My 5th great-grandfather moved from Glasgow to Londonderry around 1710 and my 3rd great-grandfather moved from Londonderry to North Carolina around 1771.  My 3rd g-grandfather named a son Henry Stanhope Hunter and both he and his brother had several grandchildren with Stanhope as a middle name or, in one case, as a forename.  Stanhope is the name of the burn (creek) that served as the northern edge of Polmood and also a small settlement where the burn flows into the River Tweed.  This, added to the fact that we are haplogroup I-L126 whereas the Hunterston Hunters are haplogroup R-M, leads me to believe we are descended from the Polmood Hunters.  The XVII century was a hard time to be a resident of the Upper Tweed.  The British crown made a serious effort to empty the Scottish border area to increase commerce and other interactions between England and Scotland.  In addition to that, from 1660 to 1688 Covenanters were persecuted for their refusal to participate in the Episcopalian Church.  There were many Covenanters in the upper Tweed and Hunters were prominent in that movement.  My 3rd g-grandfather became an ordained Presbyterian minister and his brothers were elders in their churches.  The Hunters of Polmood didn't disappear; they moved out of the neighborhood.
