A Joseph Lupton was one of the early treasurers of Hopewell Meeting. He was probably the one who, even in the midst of a bloody war, did not fear the Indians enough to pull in the sneck-string of his door at night. Concerning him Henry W. Scarborough, lawyer and business man of Philadelphia, under date of November 3, 1934, writes: My ancestor, Joseph Lupton, came from Yorkshire, England, and settled near Newtown, Bucks County, Pa., where he married Mercy Twining, daughter of Stephen Twining. Stephen Twining and his father had emigrated from Eastham, Barnstable County, on Cape Cod, Mass., about 1700 to Bucks County. Subsequently Joseph Lupton removed to Solebury Township, Bucks County, where he married the widow of Samuel Pickering, whose maiden name was Mary Scarborough. About 1742 Joseph Lupton and his said wife removed to Frederick County, Va., and took along with them some of their own children and some of the children, Pickerings and Luptons, by their first consorts. ... I think Joseph Lupton was one of the early clerks [he was a treasurer] of the Hopewell Monthly Meeting. I am descended from his eldest daughter, Elizabeth, who married Henry Paxson Jr. Their daughter Sarah Paxson married Joseph Wilkinson of Solebury Township, Bucks County, Pa. Their daughter Elizabeth married Crispin Pearson. Their daughter Mercy married Isaac Scarborough, whose son, Watson Scarborough, was my father. From the above showing Joseph Lupton in 1757 was evidently an "ancient" Friend.
