Special Note: Samuel apparently returned to England prior to his death. Per "The Scarburgh Family of the Eastern Shore" by M. K. Miles (September 2002): he references the work by Jennings Cropper Wise, VA Historical Society, "Col. John Wise, His Ancestors and Descendants," Bell Book & Stationary Co;, Richmond, VA, 1918:

"Samuel died 20 Apr 1655 in North Walsham, Co Norfolk, England, at 61 years of 
age. His body was interred in North Walsham, Co Norfolk, England. He attended 
school in North Walsham. He was admitted to Caius College, Cambridge, England 
on 3 Nov 1610 and received a B.A. in 1614. He was admitted at Lincoln's Inn 
in 1614. There is a monument in the church at North Walsham where he is buried."

"William of Bacon's Rebellion did not have a brother, Edward... Amy Holdsworth 
and Amy Davis are the same woman using the surname of her first marriage (Holdsworth) 
and her maiden name (Davis). Naomi used the name (probably a nickname) 'Amy' on 
occasion.

William married Naomi (Amy) Davis, widow of Walter Holdsworth. The proof:

   I don't, at this time, have any of the siblings (if there were any) of William 
   (of Bacon's Rebellion) Scarborough."

William's family settled in Surray County, Virginia. William was an active adherent of Bacon in his rebellion in Virginia. Triggered by grievances against the Royal Governor, Bacon and his followers took matters into their own hands and fought against marauding indians in Virginia since the Royal Governor did not want to take that step. Bacon eventually forced the Governor to call a general assembly to grant political reforms as well. The governor labeled Bacon a rebel. A casualty of the escalating conflict between Bacon and Royal Governor Berkeley was the burning of the Jamestown settlement on September 19, 1676. Due to illness, Bacon died on October 26, 1676 which ended the rebellion.

Royal Commissioners were appointed by King Charles to investigate the grievances that led to the rebellion. [It is possible that William's first cousin, Sir Charles Scarborough, may have influenced King Charles' action.] Governor Berkeley was still in power but stubbornly refused to receive the Commissioners at his mansion at Green Springs. The Commissioners had brought pardons from the King for the rebels, but the Governor carried on his series of trials and executions. On March 16, 1677, William Scarborough was summarily convicted of treason and hanged. Shortly afterwards, the Governor was recalled to England.
