Excerpt from Raeburn: English School

The family was nearing the confines of history when, early in the eighteenth century, Robert Raeburn decided to give up farming for manufacturing, and left the undulating uplands of the Border for the neighborhood of the capital. We find him beginning some kind of milling or manufacturing at Stockbridge, then an outlying suburb, but now incorporated with Edinburgh.

Of Robert little is known beyond Cunningham's statement that he was a most worthy man; and of the mother of the painter the only quality mentioned by the same author is her tenderness. They had two sons - William, born about and Henry, born on March 4, 1756.
