Patrick was son of William Hunter (the great grandson of Mungo Hunter the 16th chief) of Binberry-yards a former parish in [[Ayr]]. 

As appears from a charter in the possession of the present Hunterstoun. He had a retour of the lands of Ardneil- Hunterstoun and Campbeltoun, as heir of entail and provision, of Robert Hunter of Hunterstoun, 11th July, 1618 in a Precept of that date by [[Charles I of England|Charles]], as Prince and Stewart of Scotland. 

In June, 1630, he sold the lands of South Games in [[Great Cumbrae|Cumbrae]] to Sir Robert Montgomerie, elder of [[Skelmorlie]]. After this sale, the small islets called "The Allans" which formed a part and pertinent of this estate, continued to be possessed by the proprietors of Hunterston, although they are not specially reserved or mentioned in the conveyance to the purchaser. In 1634 he repurchased the lands of [[Annanhill, East Ayrshire|Annanhill]] from Robert Ferguson or Fergushill of that Ilk, and obtained a Crown charter from [[Charles I of England|Charles I]] on 25th January of that year.<ref name=":4" />

His name occurs, among those of other gentlemen, in the Committee of War for Ayrshire, in the troublesome times of 1647.<ref name=":3" />

In 1662, we find the laird of Hunterston fined in £600 by one of Middleton's arbitrary acts<ref name=":3">{{Cite book|last=Patterson|first=James|title=History of the county of Ayr : with a genealogical account of the families of Ayrshire|publisher=|year=1847|isbn=|location=|pages=134}}</ref>. He was succeeded by his eldest son,

He was present at the nuptials of his grandson, Patrick Hunter, with Marion Cunninghame, on 15th August, 1662, signed the marriage contract, and lived to see their children. He died about 1665, aged 74, as appears by two epitaphs, one in Latin and the other in English, which are still preserved.<ref name=":4">{{Cite book|last=Patterson|first=James|title=History of the counties of Ayr and Wigton|publisher=|year=1863|isbn=|location=|pages=351}}</ref>
