- On November 8, 2023, Ruth Hyatt sent a message: Regarding identification of Robert Hepburn as Agnes Hepburn’s relative. I would like to clarify that while there may be a very distant connection, they were not closely related. Robert Hepburn was in fact my Great Grandfather. His only son, Ernest Frank Hepburn, was my grandfather. He told stories of the times when he was responsible for helping his dad maintain the toll road. Their farm was located to the west of what used to be called Hepburn hill. Ernest Hepburn was born in 1896 so I think he was quite young when he helped his dad with the toll road.
