Capt. Edmund Scarburgh, Sr. (1584 - 1634) Home Page --- Scarborough Family Line --- Name Index Parents: Henry Scarburgh and Mary Hamberstone Siblings: Henry Scarburgh, Samuel Scarburgh and John Scarburgh Marriage: Edmund Scarburgh married Hannah Butler(abt 1585 - aft 1636), daughter of Robert Butler of Field Parish, London, England Children: They had seven children: "Col." Edmund Scarburgh, Jr. (1617 - 1671) + Mary ? (1619 - 1691) Ralph Scarburgh (1620 - 1622?3) Henry Scarburgh (1621 - 1687) Hannah Scarburgh (January 13, 1621?2 - January 14, 1621?2) Hannah Scarburgh (1625 - 1695) + Col. John Wise (1617 - 1695) Katherine (Catherine?) Scarburgh (1627?28 - May 5, 1688) + Randall Revell (1610-13? - 1686?87) Note about Hannah: There were actually two children named Hannah. Apparently the first Hannah died one day after birth. The second is shown to be born on December 25, 1620 as well as in the year 1625! It seems logical that the 1625 date should hold true over the 1620 as there would have been no apparent reason to name a second "living" child with the same name. Also, son Henry is listed as being born in 1621 (apparently late that year). It's also most probable that Henry was born in 1621 and the first Hannah in 1622! Notes:Edmund was a captain in the British Army. When he decided to come to America, for some reason he and Hannah chose to leave eldest son Charles in England. That decision seems to have been fortuitous considering how well "Sir" Charles turned out. One reference states that Hannah Butler didn't come to America until 1635 [Greer's Early Virginia Immigrants] (after husband Edmond died?!). If so, she apparently remained in England helping to raise the eldest son (while waiting to make sure of Edmond, Sr. and Edmond, Jr.'s successful settlement). According to Robert B. Scarborough's book, SCARBOROUGHS..., Edmond was born in North Walsham, County Norfolk, England where he was baptised on December 25, 1584. He, his brother Samuel Scarburgh and son Edmond, Jr. were the first of the Scarborough family in Virginia sometime around 1620. He and his family settled in Accomac County, VA. He seems to have made a name for himself in that he was: prominent in "Ye Kingdome of Accawmacke," was first Justice of Accomac County in 1631, was a Member of the House of Burgess in 1629, 1631 and 1632. A highly detailed work about Edmund's descendants by Cynthia McDaniel updated January 13, 2004 is available on the Internet at: "Descendants of Edmund Scarborough".

Drawing of Col. Edmund Scarburgh
from the book Squires and Dames of Old Virginia by Evelyn Kinder
Donaldson, 1950.
According to Robert B. Scarborough's book, SCARBOROUGHS...,
Col. Edmund Scarburgh came to America with his father. He was called "Conjurer"
by the Indians and he established a flourishing trade commerce.
According to Squires and Dames..., of his many endeavors, Col.
Edmund Scarborough owned several trading vessels. During the 1650's,
his boats with names like "Deliverance," "Mayflower," "King David"
helped to further his enterprises. In particular, he had a shoe factory
that used moose skins to produce a very fine shoe. These skins came
from what is now known as Maine.
The Colonel took his business very seriously. On a trading trip in 1651
to the Indians on the Delaware River, his vessel "Sea Horse" was boarded
and taken by the Dutch. He returned the favor the next year when his sloop
"Ye Hobby (Holly?) Horse" captured several Dutch trading vessels and
their crews. When his actions were questioned by his son Charles, the
Colonel "practically told him to mind his business and that he would take
care of the Dutch in his own way." It should have been obvious: the action
lessened compitition and increased his personal fleet! |
Evelyn Donaldson writes: "In 1671 just 40 years after coming to Virginia as a boy with his immigrant parents, the doughty colonel died, a victim of smallpox, and lies buried in a small plot of ground near Hedra Cottage. The state of Virginia has placed a marble marker to mark the spot. His brother Charles in England was knighted August 15, 1669. Sir Charles outlived Edward some thirty years. And so we note a great difference in the lives of the two brothers. Edmund was tempestuous and would fight at the drop of a hat. Charles was peaceful and gentle, taking life with a quiet suavity. His biographers say he died of gentle decay. Edmund Scarborough however built a dynasty in America which was heard from in every generation. He left his widow Mary Scarborough and five children very well-to-do." According to Ron Sweeney's email of May 21, 2000 as shown in Cynthia McDaniel's "Descendents of Edmund Scarborough" Generations 1 through 3 section at website: http://www.esva.net/ghotes/scarb/scarb.htm, "In 1652, Col. Scarbrough planned to return to England for good. He sold the following ocean going ships to William Burton of Boston, Mass: 1) The Deliverance, 2) The Mayflower, 3) King David, 4) The Sea Horse, 5) The Holly Horse, 6) The Ann Clear, and 7) The Artillery." It is unknown at this time if he did go back to England for a visit. He is buried in "Seaside", Accomack County, VA as is his wife, Mary. Note: sons Charles and Edmund apparently were Colonels also! Special Notes: Several references state that Edmund Scarborough, II was married to a "Mary Littleton" or to a "Mary Charleton." Additional information implies that Edmond Scarburgh had a mistress, or at the very least, a very close business associate by the name of Ann Toft. The Internet correspondence below sheds light on these individuals:
[Special Note #1 regarding the name "Mary Littleton"]
According to Sutherland McColley on January 22, 2004
(smcc@mohawk.net):
A "Mary Littleton," daughter of Sir Edward Littleton and sister to Col.
Nathaniel Littleton, married Gilbert Jones, II as recorded in: Worcester
Visitation of 1634, Harleian Society 90: 64 (1938). She did not marry
Edmund Scarborough II. "That this is correct is shown by an application
dated 28 Feb 1633/34 by Mary Jones for a grant of administration dbn
on the estate of her father Sir Edward Littleton of Henley, Salop [PCC Act Books]. Now we know from the will of Gilbert Jones I, the father,
dated 15 Oct 1616 and proved 11 Jan 1616/17 (Montgomeryshire Coll. 21:170)
that his youngest son, Gilbert, was old enough to be named executor. The
younger Gilbert, of Gray's Inn in 1617, was living in Welshpool on 8
October 1639 when Margaret, daughter of Gilbert and Mary Jones, was buried
(fragmentary Welshpool Registers, id. 16:4). As Mary, wife of Edmund Scarborough II was married
to this husband by 3 August 1640 (Virginia Patents 1;699), it is quite
impossible that this latter Mary could be a daughter of Sir Edward
Littleton. "In addition, the following shows Mary Littleton
married Gilbert Jones, II and her brother was Nathaniel Littleton:
"The Littletons," in Transactions of the Shropshire Archaeological
Society, Series 4, Vol. III, Part 2 (1913), p. 307.
According to Sutherland McColley on January 23, 2004
(smcc@mohawk.net):
A "Mary Charleton" [if there ever was Mary Charleton] was not the daughter of Capt.
Stephen Charleton as they were both of the same generation. "Stephen married three
times: 1) to Elizabeth Myddleton, born August 26, 1610, Wales; 2) Bridgett Pott,
born 1613, probably Cheshire, England, sister to Capt. Francis Pott (his baptism
was January 12, 1608 at St. Michael, Macclesfield, Cheshire, England); and 3) Ann
Barloe, born about 1608, England, wife of (1st) Anthony Huffe, and wife of (2nd)
Anthony West. Mary deposed twice that she was born once in 1610 and
another time in 1612. Almost the same time as the above Elizabeth. She arrived in Virginia as Mary Scarborough in August
1640 (Greer, George Cabell, Early Virginia Immigrants, 1978,
p. 291). The only possibilities are: Mary could have been a
sister to Capt. Stephen Charlton or a sister to Capt. Frances Pott.
Edmund Scarborough and Ann Toft
Just wanted to let you know that another researcher into this
couple, Robert Leland Johnson and his wife, Pamela, have been
looking at the documents surrounding Edmund and Ann and think
that they have enough information to put them together as
parents of Ann's 3 daughters. Mr. Johnson is a lawyer and his
wife is a legal researcher.
From the research of Pamela and Robert Leland Johnson regarding
Ann Toft: Anne Toft lived at Gargaphie Plantation which was owned
originally by Colonel Edmund Scarborough II. "Gargaphie comes
from Ovid's Metamorphoses, iii, 180, and refers to the bower where
Diana and her nymphs disported." The first patent (800 acres) to
mention Ann was granted to her on November 3, 1660 (A777, from
Colonel Edmund) when she was 17. In February 1664, Ann received
the patent for 1,200 acres which became the basis for her home
plantation of Gargaphie. There were no other settlers within miles
of her. That seems strange for a young woman with infant children.
"In 1669, Edmund Scarburgh and Mary Scarburgh sold the land to
Mistress Anne Toft for 9,101 pounds of Mevis Sugar in Cask and
708 pounds of Indigo.
The land was improved and several industrial enterprises were
started on the land. In August 1668, Articles of Agreement were
drawn up between Edmund Scarborough and Ann Toft. She agreed to
allow him "during his natural life" to make use of her plantation
as he "thinks fitt" to conduct his business and she agreed to
improve all and every part of his concerns during his absence to
his "best advantage". Edmund renounced "all and every claim, right
interest, profitt or title" to any part of the land, animals or
goods on the land after his natural life for himself and his heirs
or creditors.
After the marriage of Mistress Toft to Daniel Jenifer, a joint
patent was issued to them in 1672 for 5,000 acres to include the
above and 2,000 acres of new land; in later transactions this new
part usually was called swamp land. (Virginia's Eastern Shore--A
History of Northampton and Accomack Counties, Vol 2, p 1350,
Ralph T. Whitelaw).
On July 15, 1672, Daniel and his wife Ann "lately called Ann Toft"
recorded a document to the effect that 5,000 acres at Gingoteague
(the name of the Indians living at that area and applied to the
land) were to be set aside for the daughters of Ann Toft. In 1686,
the final deeds of transfer were made prior to the death of Ann
Toft Jenifer.
From Whitelaw, p 1151 (Vol II) can also be found record of an
event on May 8, 1670 where two witnesses heard a drunken workman
say that "he would work no more for Scarburgh's whores and bastards".
[In Memory of Colonel Edmund Scarborough II (Scarburgh)(1618-1671)
and Anne Toft (1643-1687) of Accomack County, Virginia by Robert
Leland Johnson; Denver: Robela Publishing Co., 2003; (no page
numbers for most of the book)].
This message (I'm not positive that it's in the book) also gives
pertinent information about their reasoning:
Bob asked me to send you a re-cap of where we seem to be on the
Anne Toft connection.
First, a disclaimer: This is not my period or my area. My
contribution to Bob's genealogical research is primarily
European. I am currently working on organizing some 4000
Anglo-Norman ancestors into a coherent presentation. I
know a lot more about 12th Century England than I do about
17th Century Virginia, but I have acquired most of the
Delmarva materials and am trying to learn more about this
area.
Unfortunately, Anne Toft is probably not the easiest place to start. I
gather that this has been an on-going debate, with one faction firmly
committed to the identification of Col. Scarbrough as the father of Anne
Toft's children, and the other opposed. The "opposition" seems to be based
more upon moral and social considerations than upon an alternative candidate
for paternity. The problem with this position, as I see it, is that the
presumed societal consequences would have arisen regardless of who the
father of the children was, unless the father happened to be Anne Toft's
husband.
Anne Toft's three daughters were born during the 1660's and during that same
period Anne was involved in various real estate ventures. In these ventures
she acted as a feme sole; she, therefore, had no husband * (see below).
See, for example, the deeds relating to the "Double Purchase" in which she
held an interest with Randall Revell:
Years of legal research make me pretty confident on that part of the
question, so I would conclude that Anne Toft was a "single mother" and that
either she or her lover had enough power to protect her from being
prosecuted for "fornication." Col. Scarbrough would seem to fit the bill in
that regard, and according to at least two of the sources I have viewed, he
was the owner of the plantation, Gargaphie, where she lived. (The name,
incidentally, comes from Ovid's Metamorphoses, III, 180, and refers to the
bower where Diana and her nymphs desported - sounds appropriate to me.) Add
to this the fact that Mary Littleton [sic--cm] Scarbrough was older than her
husband (in her fifties by the time Anne Toft's children were born) and a
not unfamiliar pattern emerges. The fact that Anne Toft did not marry until
shortly after Col. Scarbrough's death, as well as the fact that for some
reason Mary Littleton [sic--cm] Scarbrough was refused letters of
administration to her husband's estate (I do not know the circumstances, but
it was certainly unusual) might also be significant.
Taking everything together, I think that the identification of Col
Scarbrough as the father of Anne Toft's three daughters holds together quite
well and I see that a number of researchers have reached the same
conclusion, possibly for different reasons.
* feme sole: A common law concept derived from feudal Norman custom and
prevalent through periods when marriage abridged women's rights, feme sole
(Norman French meaning "single woman") referred to a woman who had never
been married or who was divorced or widowed or to a woman whose legal
subordination to her husband had been invalidated by a trust, a prenuptial
agreement, or a judicial decision. In some instances by custom a woman could
execute contracts independent of her husband as a feme sole trader, but
generally legal action was required to establish a married woman's legal
separateness from her husband. See also coverture.
coverture: An Anglo-American common law concept derived from
feudal Norman custom, coverture referred to a woman's subordinate legal
status during marriage. Prior to marriage a woman could freely execute a
will, enter into contracts, sue or be sued in her own name, and sell or give
away her real estate or personal property as she wished. Once she married,
however, her legal existence as an individual was suspended under "marital
unity," a legal fiction in which the husband and wife were considered a
single entity: the husband. The husband exercised almost exclusive power and
responsibility and rarely had to consult his wife to make decisions about
property matters. Coverture rendered a woman unable to sue or be sued on her
own behalf or to execute a will without her husband's consent and, unless
some prior specific provision separating a woman's property from her
husband's had been made, stripped a woman of control over real and personal
property. Coverture was disassembled in the United States through
legislation at the state level beginning in Mississippi in 1839 and
continuing into the 1880s.

For more information on Hanford's wartime record, visit Bill Scarborough's website at http://www.infochunk.com/old%20site/family%20history/HAWartimeRecord.htm. Ida Ann died giving childbirth. Madge Willietta and Lalla Rooke died of typhoid. Photos of Hanford, Martha and Madge's tombstones are shown at Bethany Baptist Church and Cemetery.
Per Thomas Wheeler Dickinson (tdickinson@sc.rr.com) as of August 2005:
"Nina Julia died at the Bethea Baptist Home near Darlington.
She married William Wilder, a young minister who came to Bethany Baptist as pastor and I gather
was considered a "catch" by the young ladies of the congregation. His family was from Sumter area.
Nina had two children whose offspring are alive and well, last I spoke to any of them.
"Edna Earle Scarborough died 5/27/1982--I visited her home in Timmonsville a number of times as a
child; she was an accomplished seamstress and did upholstery work and draperies as late as the 1960s." In August 2004, Garry Milligan of Glasgow, Scotland inquired into the origins of Lalla Rooke Scarborough's name. He speculated that she may have been named after an "1817 exotic tale of Lallah Rooke by Thomas Moore." I asked Lalla's nephew, Earnest Hoyt Scarborough, if he had any information on Lalla's name. He did not. So we can only wonder! -- HMS - 8/25/2004. |
