John Scarborough (1649-1706) was born in London, England, the son of John Scarborough (b. 1620). In 1663 he married Sarah Ashley. He purchased 250 acres near Longhorne, Bucks Co., Pennsylvania from William Penn in 1682 and arrived in America with his only child, John, in the same year. In 1684 he returned to England for his wife, but she refused to come. He remained in England until his death. Their son John remained in Pennsylvania, married, and had a family. Descendants lived in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, Illinois, and elsewhere.
