Info from William L. DeCoursey
∼Soldier. Legislator. Civic Leader. He enlisted as a private in the British colonial army when the French and Indian War broke out in 1754. In 1775, he joined the Northampton Militia as a captain; later in the year, he rose to the rank of colonel. A year later, he built his residence in what is today the borough of Stroudsburg. When the American Revolution began, a wooden fence was built around the home, and it became Fort Penn, one of the frontier forts which provided citizens a line of defense against attacks by British soldiers and the Iroquois. Fort Penn was the first stopover for those who survived the attacks of the Wyoming Massacre in 1778. Later in life Stroud operated a public house in the area. He also participated in the convention which gave birth to the Commonwealth's first constitution. He owned the 4000 acres of land that would eventually become the town of Stroudsburg. His son Daniel would eventually lay out the streets of the town. [bio by: rjschatz]
