This is the ancient family of Westmorland County, England who resided in Cliburn Hall. Their origin is contested with no less than 3 distinct legends surrounding their early history, so for now this information will be presented only after the family has adopted the Cleburne surname. The legends surrounding their origins will have a deep-dive done later on.
