The Scottish origins of the Hepburn family can be traced as far back as the year 1200. Tradition suggests that the surname is the combination of the names of two rivers, evolving from Hebron to Heborn to Hepborn and finally the modern variant Hepburn. This text presents the genealogies of the brothers James and William Hepburn, who immigrated to PA from Donegal, Ireland in 1773. The genealogies follow the male line from Samuel Hepburn (b. 1698, Glasgow, Scotland) up to the 1890s and are enhanced by a wealth of biographical material.
