Born in London in 1666, he evidently was apprenticed to a trade during that time, but ran away from his masters. In 1682, he and his father, also John Scarborough came to the New World: the older John would return to the land of his birth, while his son remained in the new territories. The two had survived with the help of the natives, and John the Younger benefited greatly, as he knew some of the Indian language(s), and acted as an interpreter and negotiator.

The track was between Aquetong and Lakaska Stations. Later, keeping 60 acres, he traded the rest off for an adjacent 820 acres--of limestone. Although it may seem strange to us postmodern citizens, limestone was the building stone for durability--easy to cut, it hardens on contact with air--much easier than cutting granite, for instance. John Scarborough was a Quaker, and helped establish the Buckingham meeting and another meeting led by John Bye in 1702. Scarborough was a Quaker Minister, complete with certification of his role. His wife, Mary (Farr) Pierson, was supposedly of Indian descent, and after Scarborough died, she remarried Phillip Torrey.
