William Cunningham Hector (20 September 1875 – 1 October 1929) was a Scottish painter and antique collector.
His mother was Janet Dick Anderson, known as Jessie, (18 February 1848 – 25 September 1932) from Glasgow.
[3] William Cunningham Hector was born while the couple were in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 20 September 1875.
He had left his son an estate of £25,054, 16 shillings and 4 pence (gross), subject to a £300 annuity to a Miss Johanna Maloney.
When he bought a set of chairs from an antique dealer that proved to be modern in 1912, the case ended up in the Court of Session in Edinburgh.
