** The two Heptons are almost certainly descended from the marriage of William Hepton at Westow c1795. He was born Hebden son of Christopher in 1775 and is Hebden on his marriage allegation and bond held at the Borthwick. A descendant of this family, Maree, is in Canberra. All Heptons and Hebdons that I have found so far become Hebden when you go back.
