First found in Northumberland. Thomas de Heburn was on record in the Assize Rolls for that county in 1279. They prospered here from 1271 until the 18th century, when the family line ended with an heiress. Adam de Hepburn (or perhaps de Hylburne) was the first of the line. One version of the tale goes that Hepburn was a prisoner of the Earl of March, who freed him and granted him lands for 'good and faithful service' after he saved the Earl's life from a feral (wild) horse. These lands were in East Lothian and the family spent the next several centuries aggressively acquiring new lands.
