Henry James (July 21, 1821 – July 27, 1897) was born in Truxton, Cortland County, New York, son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Ingersoll) James, natives of Vermont and of English descent. About 1843 he came to Baltimore and engaged in the wholesale lumber business and established the wholesale lumber firm of Henry James & Company. This organization purchased large tracts of land in Pennsylvania, erecting mills on them as well as in Harford County, Maryland. The principal office was in Baltimore, with Mr. James as active managing partner, the other members of the firm being William E. Dodge and James Stokes, of New York, and Daniel James, of Liverpool. Several years before his death Mr. James retired from the firm, leaving it in the hands of his sons, Nathaniel W. and Norman James. Mr. James was founder and president of the Pennsylvania Joint Land and Lumber Company, his son, Charles I., acting as superintendent and general manager.
Upon the death of John Clark, president of the Citizens' National Bank, Mr. James, already a director, was elected to the vacant office, which he filled during the remainder of his life.
