Yes, Quakers. My Immigrant ancestor was John Scarborough sr. who brought his son, John jr. to Bucks Co, PA, in 1682. John sr. stayed 2 years then moved back to London as his wife refused to move here. John jr. stayed and married a Mary Pearson/Pierson whose mother may have been a Janney. I descend through John and Mary's daughter Mary who married Samuel Pickering. Interesting story here--due to DNA testing us Pickering descendents have discovered recently that Samuel was not a part of the Massachusetts Pickerings as we had always thought so now we are in the process of researching to figure out just who he was. Many mysteries in genealogy. After Stephen died Mary married Joseph Lupton in Buck's County, whose wife Mercy Twining had also died. I am also descended from Joseph and Mercy as their son William married his stepsister, Grace, daughter of Stephen and Mary Pickering. Joseph and Mary and their blended family moved to Virginia and joined Hopewell Monthly Meeting. And they had three children together. So in this Quaker group I have Twinings, Pickerings, Luptons, Pearsons, Scarboroughs, Youngs and possibly Janneys and the son of Joseph and Grace Lupton married into the Kirk family of Pennsylvania, large Quaker family, though I am not entirely satisfied about which branch of the Kirk family.

Burnis, I'm descended from John Scarborough and Mary Pierson/Pearson as well, through their son Robert's second marriage to Mary Bailey. Oddly enough, my husband is descended from that same Robert Scarborough's first marriage. We did NOT know that before we got married! I thought it was hilarious, but it kinda creeped him out :) Anyway, I haven't done any independent research on that line, just thought it was interesting that we're related. Feel free to email me if you want more info on my Scarboroughs.
