: Nisbet in his Heraldry, published in 1722, says: "As for the manner and time of their [the Hepburns] rise in Scotland I cannot be positive; but I may assert that there was of this name with us in the reign of King Robert the Bruce, as by the Minute-Book of Old Charters... where Adam de Hepburn ge ts a Charter of the Lands of South and North Hales and Trapren, upon the forfeiture of Hugh Gourly of Beinstoun, to be holden of the Earl of Dunbar and March as also a Charter of the lands of Mersington, Rollingstoun, and some lands of Cockburnspath, all holden of Patrick, Earl of Dunbar."
: : Hailes is on the old Dunbar to Edinburgh Road between Haddington and East Linton about two miles west of East Linton. The ruins of the Castle of Hailes are still standing and are situated above an old bridge where once there was a ford across the River Tyne. Old Hailes had beside the Castle a Mill, a Weir and a Smithy. Today the area is very green rolling farming country and can be reached easily in an hour by car from Edinburgh.
: : Traprain is an area on the hillside about a mile and a half east of Hailes on rising ground above the River Tyne. Both Hailes and Traprain are about eight miles west of Dunbar.
: : Chalmers, in his Caledonia, says "Adam de Hepburn appears to have been a dependant on the Earl of Dunbar, whose confidence he gained"; and adds that Adam's second son John "seems to have been educated in the family of Earl Patrick." Adam's son John is also called an "alumnus" of Earl Patrick and Douglas's Peerage translates this as "foster-brother."
: : Adam joined the Royal Scots in 1317 with Gilbert de Middleton andAdam de Prendergast. He was present with Sir Patrick de Dunbar, Earl of March, at the seige of Berwick in 1334. In 1343, as confirmed by King David II, he was granted the lands of Traprain and Southall, of Mersingtoun, and some in Colbrandspath, to be held of the Earl of March. He was also granted the lands of Southalls and Northalls (now called Hailes), at the Earl's disposition on the forfeiture of Hew Gourlay of Beinstoun; with the lands of Rollanstoun, Berwickshire. Nisbet held that these charters dated from the reign of Robert I. Supposedly the grants were made by Patrick of Dunbar, the Earl of March "for good and faithful service".
: : As Beanston (as it is today spelt) was for centuries a Hepburn property we may safely assume that Mr Gourlay also parted with that to Adam Hepburn.
: : Adam married Mariota Fourbour in 1323. They had two sons John and Patrick. Adam died during the Reign of David II.
: : The major reference work for this and the following detailed entries is" Scots Peerage" edited by Sir James Balfour Paul and published in 1905. This work lists in detail the many specific reference sources.Source: [[#S266]]
