Hi Donna and troops, I have checked Dobson's Jacobites of the '15 and found the following: John, son of Robert Hepburn of Keith, prisoner at Preston and London Alexander born 1657 in Buchan, Minister of St. Fergus, deposed 1716, died Peterhead 1737 Robert Hepburn of Keith, prisoner at Preston and London William Hepburn, vintner and merchant in Aberdeen. His colleague Frances MacDonnell in her book of the same name says that the Rev. Alexander Hepburn, Episcopal Minister of St. Fergus and Peterhead was a native of Buchan, married Eliza Clark who died 1703 and had 2 sons and 3 daughters. when he died in 1737 he was aged about 81. Can't see any mention of Rev. John Hepburn. Have you checked the fasti?

John Hepburn of Keith > Dear Listers > > I have been looking for any information on the family of Rev. John Hepburn of Keith. In 1715, Rev. John was attempting to join the detachment of the Highland army of the Earl of Winton. There was a skirmish with some of his "neighbors" and his youngest son Robert was killed. He supposedly had a large family but the names of those children was unknown by my source, although it also mentions he had a son known as James the Scottish patriot. > > Any info would be appreciated. > > Donna Hepburn Lykens > >
