I meant to say Edmund Scarborough, not Charles.  I believe Charles was his
brother and a physician to the King.  Jay Worrall, in "The Friendly
Virginians", about the Quaker movement in Virginia, referred to Scarborough
as an unprincipled "Prince of Darkness".  He WAS quite a piece of work it
seems, and I wonder if any  other early Virginia leader was in his class?
He, of course, did have the physical separation of the Eastern Shore to aid
and abet in his various "independent" activities.

My apologies for the mistake.
