HUNTER, ANDREW [SSNE 5122]
Text source
Andrew Hunter was an Aberdonian who became a burgess of Cracow in 1609.
In 1619 Andrew Hunter, a Scot from Aberdeen who was a citizen of Cracow, verified the legitimacy of James King [SSNE 5123]. This is probably the same Andrew Hunter who on 24 June 1619 received authorisation from the provost, baillies and council of Aberdeen to obtain 100 florins left by William Bannerman, son of the Aberdeen burgess John Bannerman, as a legacy for the Aberdeen hospital.
He is perhaps the same Andrew Huntar who paid the tax to Charles I in 1651.
