the Scarbrough settlement on Paint Creek was between Mossy and Milburn Creek. It was the first permanent settlement in that region and consisted of Robert Scarbrough, his sons Isaac, James, and John Wesley, and a son-in-law, Isaac Williams. the cabin of Robert (or Robin as he was familiarly known) and his wife Mary was on the south side of Paint Creek just below the mouth of Bishops Fork, where Emory Wriston now resides. Isaac, the oldest son of Robert, located a short distance northward on Milburn Creek. He selected a spot for his cabin at an apple tree where the ginsenger, Milburn, had camped with his family years before. The site of this cabin was a considerble distance above the mouth of the creek, on the western side thereof above Tansy Hollow, in the present coal town of Kingston. Isaac and his wife Rebecca were the first permanent settlers there, and their sons, Alex and Sanford, made their homes in this same valley later. James Scarbrough, the second son of Robert, married Sarah Jane Ball and built his cabin on the east side of Paint Creek directly opposite the mouth of Bishop Fork and the old Mossy Camp mentioned in Taylor's survey of 1786, supposed to be the camp site of Bishop, the ginsenger. A part of this cabin remained standing untill recently, when it was destroyed by fire about 1956. There is more but wanted to see if you think this is the Scarbrough family you are looking for.
