Raymond Crawfurd
found a total of 13 sittings for "Miss K. Hunter" or "Miss Hunter" in Apr 1757 to Jan 1758.
Looks like these are all Kitty, and
[Leslie and Taylor, 1865]
combined them into one note showing the start of
13 sittings in April.

Raymond Crawfurd also finds a "Miss Hunter" sitting in July 1758. Again, likely Kitty or her sister.
Pages 206-207
cover the elopement of 1762.
The account is quite inaccurate.
They think she is called "Charlotte Hunter".
And they confuse her child with a
Colonel Robert Montgomery who was
killed in a duel in 1803.
They discuss
the Crawfurd picture.
It seems unlikely the Crawfurd picture was finished, with a mask added to it, within a week of the elopement.
More likely it is a later picture, and the picture being sent away here is the
Longleat portrait of Kitty
or the portrait of Kitty's sister Georgiana.
Continued on p.208.
They discuss
the Longleat picture.
"Miss Hunter" sits for Reynolds in Dec 1769.
It is unclear if this is her. She is still unmarried at this point.
From p.349.
Hunter sittings in July 1760.
From p.188
of vol.1 of above.
Could this be Kitty's family?
Kitty did have a sister
Charlotte but she was only an infant.
And there was no sister B. Hunter.
These Miss Hunters may be confused in 1760-61 with entries for Miss G. Hunter.
