Scarburgh-39 and Scarborough-138 appear to represent the same person because: duplicates
posted by Mark Burch
There's no evidence that Katherine who married Randall Revell was a daughter of Edmund and Hannah Scarburgh--all of Edmund and Hannah Scarburgh's children were christened at Saint Martin in the Fields in Westminster, and not in North Walsham; there is no Katherine among the Scarburgh christenings recorded in the parish register of St Martin's. As far as I'm aware there isn't any actual evidence that she's a Scarburgh at all. (Clayton Torrence in "Old Somerset on the Eastern Shore" speculates that Col. Edmund Scarburgh and Randall Revell married sisters, hence Revell's wife being called Scarburgh's "sister", in this case sister-in-law).

Colonial Families of the USA, 1607-1775, pg 447 lists Katherine Scarborough as the daughter of Captain Edmund Scarborough and sister to Sir Charles Scarborough, physician to Charles II, James II and William III, and also sister to Edmund Scarborough. Is this not a reliable source?
