JAMES ECROYD was born in England, November 11, 1767. While young he learned the tanning business, and later on immigrated to the United States, leaving Liverpool August 30, 1795, and landing at Baltimore in the latter part of October in the same year. He at once proceeded to Philadelphia, and for a short time was the guest of John Haworth. He shortly started on a tour of inspection through the northwestern part of Pennsylvania, where he invested largely in lands bordering on Loyalsock creek, then in Lycoming county, and other lands in Luzerne county. He was married, April 9, 1800, to Martha, daughter of John Haworth, and to this union were born eight children: Henry; John H.; Mary; Deborah; Sarah; Martha; Elizabeth, and Hannah. Mr. Ecroyd died in Philadelphia in 1825; his widow died, April 9, 1845.
