This move was prompted by a series of restrictive laws regarding lines of credit in effect throughout most Midwestern states at the time.[3] American forebear of the Armour family, Scotsman James Armour was among the earliest to settle in the newly established British colony of New Jersey, arriving just three years after its establishment in 1664, though settlers from Holland, Germany, Sweden, and France had been living in the area since 1614 in the former New Netherland and New Sweden (Nya Sverige) colonies. Armour died on September 8, 1901[4] at his New York City home and was laid to rest at the family mausoleum in Woodlawn Cemetery.[5] See also
