He devised all his ‘manuscript bookes, papers, and collections’ to his wife and Dr. Edward Butler, vice-chancellor of the university of Oxford, ‘to be jointly att their discretion disposed of in the best manner for the publick service;’ but he desired that such as were found completed and likely to prove useful might be published. Ecton was a good antiquary and musician. He was elected F.S.A. 29 March 1723.〔(), Chron. List. of Soc. Antiq., 1798, p. *3〕 His collection of music and musical instruments he bequeathed to James Kent, the church composer. His library was sold in 1735.
