I am researching an Edward Scarfe who supposedly originated from the Isle of Man. Henry White, transporter of Edward Scarfe (Scalf) to America in 1663, was also a resident in the Albemarle Sound area of North Carolina. John Scarfe (Scalf) who left his will in 1751 must have been a son or grandson of Edward Scarfe. The naming of John Scarfe's (Scalf) third son, Edward, was probably in honor of John' s father or grandfather.
There is a definite link between the Scarfe (Scalf) name and the Isle of Man. This author firmly believes that the Scarfes who came to America had their origin on the Isle of Man. As pointed out earlier, John Scarfe (Scalf) recorded a deed in the Pasquotank region of North Carolina in 1719. In this deed it is mentioned that the original owner was one Thomas Abbington. However, the second owner was Richard Marsden who according to the "North Carolina Historical and Genealogical Register" came from Douglas, Isle of Man. I am researching and need help finding any information on a Edward Scarfe. If John was his son, then Edward would be my 9th great grandfather. If John was his grandson then Edward would be my 10th great grandfather with John's unknown father as being my 9th. I really need help with this.
