Where did the Scottish Hum family come from? What is the Scottish Hum family crest and coat of arms? When did the Hum family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Hum family history?

The Hum family lived in Berwickshire. They held the barony of Home from very early times and possibly predate the Norman Conquest in 1066. The Home family is part of a noble lineage descending from the Earls of Dunbar, and the family of the Earl of Northumberland, the great Gospatrick, a descendent of the Kings of Bernicia. They first appear in the records in 1268, when William of Home appeared on a charter. They next appear (as so many of the prominent Scottish families do) in 1296, when Geffrai de Home of Lanarkshire swore an oath of allegiance (in the Ragman Rolls) to King Edward I of England after that king's brief conquest of Scotland.

Through time, much of their heritage was lost, and it is only this century through Clan societies and highland games that many have recovered their national heritage.
