Hi everyone

Erica Howton recommended starting a discussion about this profile.

It seems that this cannot actually be the same Adam Hepburn as the one described in the About section as his lifespan cannot be reconciled with those of his supposed wife and children with significant dates preceding his 1432 birth.

If anyone knows how to untangle this it would make a big difference to this area of the tree!

Private User - could I trouble you for advice?

The subject of this discussion, Sir Adam Hepburn of Hailes (died 1479), is actually Adam Hepburn, Master of Hailes. He was the son of Patrick, 1st Lord Hailes, and his wife Elene Wallace, and not Patrick Hepburn, younger of Hailes, and Beatrice de Vaux, as presently identified.

His wife was Elyne Home, rather than Janet Borthwick, but disconnecting him from Patrick Hepburn and Beatrice de Vaux, and reconnecting him with Patrick Lord Hailes and Elene Wallace, would be a good first move in the correction process.

I would be happy to proceed with this if there are no objections.

Please do! This is what “The Scots Peerage” has:

The Scots Peerage by Sir James Balfour Paul, Edinburgh, 1905, 'Bothwell' p. 141/2. Archive.Org, page 148. Archive.Org

Sorry Private User
If you saw a notification relating to the About section then I see that this was updated contrary to my last message. So please ignore. Didnt refresh for some reason.
