Introduction

William Pryor Letchworth's great-grandparents, John and Diana Letchworth, emigrated from England to Philadelphia in the mid-1760's with their four children.

William's grandfather, who was a caretaker for several Quaker properties and a farmer, and his wife, Mary Pryor Letchworth, lived in the Philadelphia area and later in New Jersey. As a boy during the Revolutionary War and the British occupation of Philadelphia, he often foraged for provisions and meat beyond the British lines.

William's father, a harness maker, and mother, Anne Hance Letchworth, moved from Burlington, NJ in 1820 to Brownville, NY (where William was born) and subsequently to Sherwood, NY (near Auburn.)

William moved to Buffalo in 1848 and established with Pascal P. Pratt the firm of Pratt and Letchworth, a saddlery hardware and malleable iron business.

In 1873 at the age of 50, William retired from business and devoted the rest of his life to charity and public service.
