From Hopwell Friends History:

A Joseph Lupton was one of the early treasurers of Hopewell Meeting. He was probably the one who, even in the midst of a bloody war, did not fear the Indian enough to pull in the sneck-string of his door at night. Concerning him Henry W Scarborough, lawyer and business man of Philadelphia,under date of Nov 3, 1934, writes:

"My Ancestor, Joseph Lupton, came from Yorkshire, England, and settled near Newtown, Bucks Co., PA., where he married Mercy Twining, dau of Stephen Twining. Stephen Twining and his father had emigrated from Eastham, Barnstable County, on Cape Cod, Mass., about 1700 to Bucks County. Subsequently Joseph Lupton removed to Solebury Township, Bucks County, where he married the widow of Samuel Pickering, whose maiden name was Mary Scarborough.

About 1742 Joseph Lupton and his said wife removed to Frederick County, VA., and took along with them some of their own children and some of the children, Pickerings and Luptons, by their first consorts...I think Joseph Lupton was one of the early clerks [he was a treasurer] of the Hopewell Monthly Meeting. I am descended form his eldest daughter,Elizabeth, who married Henry Paxon Jr. Their daughter Sarah Paxon married Joseph Wilkinson of Solesbury Township, Bucks County, PA. Their daughter Elizabeth married Crispin Pearson. Their daughter Mercy married Isaac Scarborough,whose son, Watson Scarborough, was my father."^[12]

In 1741, Joseph Lupton, Mary and some of the Pickering and Lupton children removed to Frederick Co., Virginia which was then part of Orange Co., Virginia. In Virginia, they were members of the Hopewell and Crooked Run MM.

1741, 2mo 6. Joseph Lupton requests certificate from Buckingham MM, gct. Hopewell MM, for himself, wife, and family to move to Hopewell. John Dawson and Thos. Canby Jr. to inquire.

Research Notes

The profile for Elizabeth (Eliza) "Mary Light" Scarborough states that she, too, was born on August 8, 1695. The Friends records show only that a "Mary Scarborough" daughter of John and Mary Scarborough was born on that date. ^[1] Elizabeth is not mentioned in the Friends record cited above, but her profile refers to her as "Mary LIght". Further research is needed.
