Marriage Notes:
"Sir Patrick Hepburn of Waughton is sometimes referred to also as 'of Redbraes' (near Greenlaw in Berwickshire) and 'of Lufness' (in East Lothian). is sometimes referred to also as 'of Redbraes' (near Greenlaw in Berwickshire) and 'of Lufness' (in East Lothian).
It is probable that Redbraes had passed to the Homes of Polwarth by this Sir Patrick's lifetime or even before. However, in a charter confirmed at Holyroodhouse on 13th May 1588 Sir Patrick is referred to as 'of Lufness and Waughton.' A reconfirmation of Lufness to him appears in a charter of November 1618. There are many charters relating to Sir Patrick, one being confirmed at Edinburgh on the 15th November 1641 including lands in Morham and Garvald near Haddington which had once belonged to the Lauder of Bass family, and whilst he was still alive in one drawn up in June 1646 he is thought to have died about 1649.
In 1639-1641 Sir Patrick was a member of the Estates for Haddingtonshire and a Colonel with a 400 strong infantry regiment raised in East Lothian, in General Leslie's army of the Covenant, entering England on the 20th August 1640. Sir Patrick was one of the commissioners to the negotiations at Ripon in Yorkshire. The regiment served at the sieges of York and Newcastle and at the battle of Marston Moor. From late 1644 until January 1647 it remained in England doing garrison duty, its strength being between 631 and 651 infantrymen. In 1646 Sir Adam Hepburn of Humbie, the army treasurer and commissary general, became the colonel, and the numbers increased to 893, and reached a maximum of 1030 foot soldiers in September. The regiment disbanded in February 1647. and (Ref: The Scottish Historical Review, Ed.Ian B.Cowan (Aberdeen 1985, 64th vol. p76).
