John Scarborough came to America in 1682. His father was a friend of William Penn. He was left in Pennsylvania by his father, John, who returned to London, England to fetch his wife, but she died and his father did not return to America. Young John is said to have run away from his foster-family and went to live with the Indians. He was fluent enough to serve as William Penn's interpreter. About 1690, John married
Mary _______, possibly and Indian. They built several cabins ontheir land and gave shelter to poorer members of the fdamily when they needed it. In the records of the Buckingham Monthly Meeting (Quakers), John is memorialized as follows: "...in his youth somewhat airy...a man of remarkable self-denial and endured with much mildness... with loving and kind deportment...".
