Excerpt from The Annual Monitor for 1870: Or Obituary of the Members of the Society of Friends in Great Britain and Ireland, for the Year 1869
James Backhouse was born at Darlington, the 8th of the Seventh month, 1794. The fruits of pious parental care, and the work of the Holy Spirit in the heart, were early manifested in his life and conversation. He feared the Lord from childhood, and was early called to the public preaching of the Gospel. He first Spoke as a minister in the twentieth year of his age; and in 1824 was recorded as such by York Monthly Meeting.
