The family of Scarborough is an old one, and doubtless derived its name from one locality where its early progenitors resided when surnames first came to be used. Scarborought Castle, an old Norman fortress in Yorkshire, England, is built on a high narrow, rocky promontory, extending seaward about a half-mile, at the foot of which the ancient seaport of the same name is nestled in a sheltered nook along South Bay.
The name is derived from its location, the word Scear, or Scaur, meaning a sharp rock or crag, and "burg", or borough, meaning a town or fortress, the combination indicating and literally meaning a town or fort on or near the crags or rocks. The arms of the family consist of a castle by the sea, a beacon flaming on its turrets, the sun rising in the east, and a manned ship at anchor. Just how John Scarborough, American ancestor, was connected with the old Yorkshire line is not known, as representatives had spread into various parts of England.

John Scarborough, by trade a blacksmith and coachmaker, was a member of the Peel Monthly Meeting of Friends, who worshipped in Peel Court, near No. 65 St. John Street, in London. He name appeared on records there 10 mo. 26, 1677. Until about 1800 the name was written Scarbrough by this family. On 7 mo. 4, 1682, John Scarborough bought land of William Penn, two hundred and fifty acres in Pennsylvania along Neshaminy Creek, for five pounds, and came soon after with his son John to settle there, arriving in October 1682, leaving his wife in England. His tract was laid out in Middletown Township, near the present Langhorne, Pennsylvania where he was one of the first settlers. After remaining for two years and preparing a rude home in the wilderness, and having left his son John there in care of the Friends, he returned to England, in 1684, for his wife, but she refused to come to America (not being of the Friends' faith) and the persecution of Friends having somewhat abated, so John Scarborough remained in England, executing to his son John, Jr., in 1696, power-of-attorney to convey his lands in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He also made his will in 1696 which was witnessed by William Penn. (W.H. Davis: "History of Bucks County, Pennsylvania," Vol. III, p.176.)

His only experience among the Indians is mentioned on page 222, "Proud's History of Pennsylvania", 1797.

"...During his residence in Pennsylvania, provisions being sometimes scarce in that part, where her resided, expecially in the first year, he is said to have occasion to remark to the province of God, to him and those near him, when they were under great difficulty.

The wild pigeons came in such great numbers, that the air was sometimes darkened by their flight, flying low, they were frequently knocked down, as they flew, in great quantities, by those who had no other means to take them; whereby they supplied themselves and having salted those which they could not immediately use, they preserved them both for bread and meat.

Thus they were supplied several times, during the first two or three years, till they raised, by their own industry, food sufficient out of the ground; for tilling of which they used hoes, having neither horses or plows. The Indians were remarkable kind, and were very assistant to them in that respect, frequently supplying them with provisions, as they could spare.

...He gave strict charge when it should be in his power to be kind to the poor Indians for the favors he had received from them, which his son John faithfully observed and complied with; and he is said to have been a worthy man, and of good character."


Records of children's births recorded at Holborn Parish, St Sepulchre Church purchased 250 acres in Bucks County PA from Wm Penn 4 July 1682 for sum of 5 pounds. Land was along Neshaminy Creek, near Longhorne, Middleton Township, Bucks County will witnessed by Wm Penn sailed to new world in Oct 1682 aboard ship "Welcome" owned by Wm Penn - the 19th ship to land in new world John was a blacksmith, whitesmith, and coachsmith returned to England about 1684 with intention of returning with wife, but she refused to come. Gave his son, John, power of attorney for the land, marriage recorded in Register of Marriages, St Bride's Church, Fleet Street London.

John Scarborough, Jr., son of John Scarborough, was born in England in 1667, and died in Solebury, PA, 1 mo. 27, 1727. It is probable that John Scarborough, Jr. lived from 1684 to 1689 in more than one place. Tradition says that he was interested in the Indians, and possibly lived among them, learning their language, and serving them as interpreter at treaties. From 1684, when his father returned to England, until 1689, records of him do not appear, thus substantiating this tradition. His great-grandson, Samuel Preston, born in 1756, in a letter written in 1823, says that he ran away when a youth and resided several years among the indians, learned their language and later officiated at Indian treaties as interpreter. It is said that at one time he was instrumental in preventing an Indian war. In 1689, he appears as an active member of the Friends Middletown Meeting (earlier known as Neshaminy). About 1700, John Scarborough, Jr., sold his father's tract in Middletown and bought five hundred and ten acres in Solebury, exchanging it later for the adjoining eight hundred and twenty acres. He was said to be the first white man to settle in the Buckingham-Solebury Valley. At his recommendation, August 5, 1702, together with that of John Bye, a meeting at Buckingham was set apart apparently by the Falls Monthly Meeting. The Friends record John Scarborough, Jr., as a leading minister and an elder. He was one of the commissioners appointed, in 1711, by the "Pennsylvania Assembly to lay out the York Road from Reading's Ferry to Philadelphia." (W.H. Davis: "History of Bucks County, Pennsylvania," Vol.III, pp. 176-178. "Memoirs of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania," Vol.I, p. 296. "Pennsylvania Archives," Vol.IX.)

Buried in Buckingham, Friends Burying Ground, PA.

Buckingham Monthly Meeting memorialized him: "in his youth somewhat airy ---a man of remarkable self-denial and endured with much mildness -- with loving and kind deportment."

His will was dated 13 Mar 1726/27 and confirmed 2 Oct 1727 by the original witnesses at Doylestown, Bucks County PA.

Famous Indian agent for William Penn in the first Quaker settlement in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Matthew Hall settled on the land belonging to the estate of his wife's first husband, nearly the whole of which he subquently purchased of his step-children. Matthew Hall was not a Friend (Quaker) as was his wife Sarah, which caused some discord amoung the Friends initially, but eventually he was received as a member, 2 Apr 1735 after application request made 4 Apr 1734. Matthew and Sarah continued to reside in Buckingham PA where she died 1748. Matthew then married Rebecca Rhoads Massey, widow of Mordecai Massey, of Marple, and daughter of Joseph and Abigail Rhoads. They lived at Buckingham but on 3 Aug 1752, they received a certificate from Buckingham to Haverford, with three of his children settling in Blockley township; and thence to Chester Monthly Meeting in 1756.

Notes for Robert Scarborough:

Found on WFT CD's

occupation: farmer

When Robert and Elizabeth and their family moved to Frederick Co.Virginia in 1737, they were accompanied by their nephews Stephanus, Absolom, and James Haworth. Robert was a widower by 1747 and married Mary Bailey, daughter of William Bailey, about 1750. He died on 19 January, 1805, probably in Greenbrier Co. Virginia at the age of 97 years. Robert inherited a farm of 127 acres from his father in Solebury PA where he lived until 1737 at which time he believed the country was becoming too crowded. He sold the farm and took his young family to
Frederick Co. Virginia. He next moved to Bedford Co. by 1762 and finally he settled in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia to live in what later became Greenbrier Co. and still later, Monroe Co. West Virginia. Two children, John and Elizabeth were born in Pennsylvania. After Robert and Elizabeth arrived in Virginia, they transferred their certificates to the Quaker Church at Winchester, Virginia. Robert was mentioned several times in Church records and his final location in Monroe Co.is pinpointed by these. He was apparently a friend of the Indians and was frequently asked by the military for aid during troubled times.

In 1762, the court ordered the Church Wardens of Russell Parish in Bedford Co. to "bind out Rachel, William, James, Kiziah and Isaac, children of Rob Scarbrough". According to law, this could be done when
parents were too poor to care for their children. In 1768, William Bailey gave a gift of love to his grandson William (1753), and in a separate action, he gave his son-in-law Robert a power of attorney to collect certain debts in 1769. Robert was declared tax-free in 1783 because of age
