Jane Hunter (1837 - 1911), was the 26th chief of the ancient Clan Hunter, a Scottish clan of the Scottish Highlands and Scottish Lowlands.
Born in 1837, Jane was the elder daughter. She married Lieutenant- Colonel Gould Read Weston in 1863. Gould's family seat was at Sutton Place, Guildford, England. (Recently owned by Paul Getty) and he had a successful career in the service of H.M. Indian Army.
He survived the siege of Lucknow in 1847, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (D.S.0.). Gould and Jane had two sons, Aylmer, born April 1864, Jane was a Laird in the true sense of the word. She completely managed the estate, and proved herself to be a most competent Laird.
