Family

Sir Patrick Hepburn was the son of Sir Adam Hepburn of Hailes, Knt., by his spouse Janet (her 1st marriage), daughter of Sir William Borthwick of that Ilk. On June 29, 1444, he had a charter from William Douglas, 8th Earl of Douglas, of certain lands in the lordship of Dunsyre, Lanarkshire, and was subsequently known by this designation until he became Lord Hailes. A charter dated 20 July 1456 mentions Patrick Hepburn Lord Hailes, and is witnessed by his brothers, William and George Hepburn.

With Queen-Dowager

Before his father's death in 1446, he took possession of Dunbar Castle, without authority; Joan Beaufort, the Queen-Dowager, resided there for some time while he held it. But after her death there on July 15, 1445 he evacuated the place. On December 19, 1450 he had a charter of the lands of Little Lamberton, commonly called Sherfbygyn, in Berwickshire.

On December 20, 1451 he had a Crown charter of the Lordship of Hailes and other lordships and lands, which his predecessors formerly held in heritage of the Earls of March, who again held them of the Crown in chief; also the lands of Prendergast and others in the sheriffdom of Berwick, with all rights in the lands formerly held by George de Dunbar, 11th Earl of March, and forfeited by him:- the whole erected into a free barony to be called the feudal barony of Hailes. Between October 1452 and June 1453 he was created a Lord of Parliament as Lord Hailes.
