Misc. Notes
William came to Clearfield County in 1803 from Williamsport in Lycoming County and was the first settler in what is now known as Penn Township.
He purchased a lot of 409 acres on April 10, 1806, and it was patented June 4, 1811. He is shown on the first assessment of Clearfield in 1806. He is not listed among the single freemen so it is probably safe to assume he was married prior to 1806. Some reports say he married about 1814.
His marker read[s];
“William Hepburn who died June 4, 1854, in the 80th year of his age; “Tis but a few whose day’s amount to three score years and ten and all beyond that short account in sorrow, grief and pain.”
[More is found on Williams’ ancestry from Scotland at this general source.]

Misc. Notes
The marker says, “Also eight children are buried here”. Reference to [Elizabeth’s] marriage is found in the Central Pennsylvania Commemorative Biographical Record page 594 in the biography of John Porter.
The 1810 census [lists them] as a family with one son under 10 and they are both shown to be less than 26 years of age. From the headstone inscription we can determine that they had at least 11 children, eight of those preceded their mother in death.5031
