Among the assets at the time were "9 Hogsheads of Tobacco received for the Sale of a Tract of Land" (part of A37); nothing more was found recorded about Whittington as acting in that capacity and apparently the colonel soon took over full management of his son's affairs.

For more information on Edmund Scarburgh (the younger) see Whitelaw, pp. 620- 621. The listed children may not be from the first marriage. He married Susanna Upshur, daughter of Arthur Upshur (II) and Sarah Browne, after 3 July 1722. Susanna (Upshur) Teackle, married Edmund Scarburgh (the younger) sometime after 3 July 1722 when her deceased husband's (John Teackle) estate was administered to his widow, Susanna Teackle..^6,3,7 Edmund [34] Scarburgh the younger deeded land as a gift in 1725 at Accomack Co, VA. It was in this year that Edmund Scarburgh gave the 832-acres part of tract A17 to a son Edmund, to take effect upon the death of the father, but if the son died first without issue the title was to revert to the father, which is what happened. A survery of his land in 1735 showed 1,607 acres. In 1753 the will of Edmund Scarburgh was probated in the York County Court, as he was then living there with his last wife, Anna Maria, who shortly afterwards married a John Thornton. He left his land here to a son William (Meredith) Scarburgh and also mentioned daughters Priscialla Johnson (husband Obediah) and Elizabeth Hall (husband Thomas). In 1756 his son William Scarburgh (wife Alice) left his land to a son William, but the court named another son Edmund as the heir-at-law and he seems to have inherited. The widow Alice married Isaac Dunton.⁸ He married Anna Maria Jones, daughter of Rev. Rowland Jones, circa 1740.^3,8 On 26 Jul 1748 it was recorded in Accomack Court: Edmond Scarburgh of Accomack County Senr. aged fifty six years and upwards who being sworn and examined declares that thirty years ago and upwards he this deponent was acquainted with one George Knight a shoemaker soon after his first arrival in the Accomack County that the deponent was well acquainted with the said George who told this deponent that was born in England and that his father was named Thomas Knight and lived there and also that he had brother in law there one Bey a cabinet maker by trade and the deponent further says that the said George had sundry looking glasses and other things shipped to him to these parts at sundry times and as he told this deponent came from the said Bey his brother-in-law that this deponent bought several of the goods so shipped of the said George and in part of pay gave the said George a bill of exchange on Mr: WCicajah Pony then Merchant in London which was never returned to this deponent protested and he further declares that the said George showed this deponent a paragraph of a letter which he told him was wrote to him by the said Bey wherein he recommended to the said George to give the deponent the first ofter of the goods at that time shipped to him as he had been a good customer that the deponent knew the said George after he married and lived in Northampton and that Thomas Knight now present is the now only son as this deponent has been informed and believes to be true of the said George born in wedlock and further saith not. Signed: Edmond Scarburgh (NOTE: Matilda Riggs, wife of John Riggs, was also a deponent and was evidently Edmond's sister.).²
Edmund died before 17 December 1753 at York Co, VA.^3,8

     Anna was born in 1684. As of circa 1705,her married name was Timson.¹ She married Capt. William Timson circa 1705.¹ As of circa 1710,her married name was Barber.¹ She married Maj. William Barber circa 1710.¹ She married Edmund [34] Scarburgh the younger, son of Col.

     Ursula was born circa 1670 at England.² Ursula immigrated to circa 1672.² She married Capt. Richard Bayly Jr. (III), son of Maj. Richard Bayly (II) and Mary Jones, before 1693 at Accomack Co, VA.³ Ursula was named in her husband's will on 15 November 1707 at Accomack Co, VA. She was named as wife Ursilia in the will of Richard Bayly Jr..⁴ Ursula was named in her father's will on 21 May 1711 at Accomack Co, VA. She was named as daughter Ursley and given only 1 shilling. It was noted that she having had her part of the estate of Col. Edmond Scarburgh..¹ Ursula died circa 1730.⁵

     It is not positive that this Captain Richard Bayly Jr. is the same as the Richard Bayly II referred to in Whitelaw, who was a descendant of Richard Bayly I (est. 1600-1661). There are many references to the name Richard Bayly in Whitelaw. A quick search of Whitelaw indicates that Richard Bayly I (1600-1661) came to Virginia via the Barbadoes in 1640 and married Elizabeth, widow of Henry Weede who died in 1644. They moved from the Henry Weede property (N88) to a part of A18 on the south side of Craddock Creek next to A17, which was Colonel Edmund Scarburgh's property. The was the area were Colonel Edmund's son, Edmund Jr., and Edmund Jr.'s daughter Ursula resided. Therefore, it would seem most likely that the Richard Bayly Jr. that Ursula married would have been Richard Bayly II. Richard Bayly II (est. 1645-1728) was married in 1665 to Mary Jones, sister of a Henry Jones and daughter of Mary Harper. He later married Elizabeth, who survived him. He had at least two sons. One was Richard Bayly III, wife Rosana, who had three sons: Edmund Bayly (? -1796), Richard (?-1769) wife Betty, and Henry (?-?). Richard Bayly II's other son was Edmund, to whom he gave 800 acres of land in 1694. The explanation could be that Richard Bayly II married Ursula Scarburgh after Mary Jones and before his last wife Elizabeth. Edmund could have been the son of Ursula and Richard, as it was a Scarburgh family name. [Whitelaw pg 460, 635-9, 642, 846, 892, 898, 1051] His common name was Richard. Richard was born circa 1665 at Accomack Co, VA.² He married Rosanna (-----) circa 1688.
