Important financier who signed the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and Constitution (1734-1806)

Morris had founded the North American Land Company with John Nicholson, the Comptroller General of Pennsylvania, and James Greenleaf in 1795. Robert Morris (1734-1806)was aPhiladelphia merchant and financier and a delegate to the Continental Congress (1775-1778). Although voting against independence, which he considered premature, Morris worked diligently on military procurement, playing akey role in keeping George Washington\'s army supplied. He wasU.S. Superintendent of Finance (1781-1784)under the Articles of Confederation, cutting expenses and raising revenue, often borrowing in his own name, to keep the new government solvent. Morris, who was adelegate to the Constitutional Convention, wasGeorge Washington\'s first choice to be Secretary of the Treasury.

Morris was the father-in-law of JAMES MARKHAM MARSHALL(1764-1848),the brother of John Marshall (1755-1835), and also a land speculator,who became Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court (1801-1835).
