HEPBURN, David of Waughton ^{1 2}

   User ID: E109.

  General Notes:

"So far as any pedigree of the earlier Hepburns of Waughton [or Waulchton] existed or was known to genealogists in Scotland, David Hepburn, the grandfather of the Sir Patrick Hepburn referred to above, was assumed to be the son of the first Sir Patrick Hepburn of Waughton, from whom he inherited the barony.

This assumption has been traversed by the tracing, after prolonged search, of a document endorsed 23 March 1473 [-4] 'Special Retour of David Hepburn as heir to his uncle Sir Patrick Hepburn in the Barony of Walchtoune' in which the said David inherits the barony as lawful and nearest heir of his uncle Sir Patrick ; and the further knowledge that his father's name was Alexander and that the said Alexander was brother and bailie of Sir John Lindsay, first Lord of Byres, who was also called brother by Sir Patrick Hepburn of Waughton, was gained by a study of the charters brought in evidence in the Lindsay Peerage clajm 1877 and the charters of the Earls of Haddington in Sir William Fraser's 'Memorials.'
