Biography

!"Married at Topsham Maine, Oct 4, 1731, Mary Lithgow was born in Ireland. Hon. Francis Adams of Bath Maine wrote: "My Grandfather Arthur Hunter was the son of Adam Hunter and Mary Lithgow, who, as I understand it, was a daughter of Robert Lithgow and a sister of William Lithgow. The Lithgows were early settlers near the mouth of the Kennebec River, at what is now Phippsburg Maine. I have heard them referred to as the 'famous Lithgow Line.' The Lithgows are said to have emigrated from Ireland when Mary Lithgow was 10 years old, in the ship Olive in 1719."

Her second marriage, to Capt. David Dunning of Brunswick Maine, was past age 80 for both of them.

!"Ancestor Adam Hunter of Topsham Maine and his Descendants," compiled by Rev. Charles N. Sinnett.

Mary married twice: first, to Adam Hunter, and second, to David Dunning, when she was around 80 years old.
