Note: The Charles Scarburgh who married Katherine West and was Henry's father was NOT a son of Col. Edmund Scarburgh, but probably a cousin in some fairly close degree.

Note: Katherine West's mother Anne was a much-married lady - she had at least three known husbands: Anthony Huffe (d. before 1634), Anthony West (d. May 1652), Capt. Stephen Charlton (d. c. late 1654). She NEVER married anyone named Scarburgh.
