Papers of Robert Morris, 1781-84
Although Robert Morris (1734-1806), "the Financier of the American Revolution," was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution, a powerful committee chairman in the Continental Congress, an important figure in Pennsylvania politics, and perhaps the most prominent businessman of his day, he is today least known of the great national leaders of the Revolutionary era.This oversight is being rectified by this definitive publication project that transcribes and carefully annotates the Office of Finance diary, correspondence, and other official papers written by Morris during his administration as superintendent of finance from 1781 to 1784.
Accommodating Revolutions
Accommodating Revolutions addresses a controversy of long standing among historians of eighteenth-century America and Virginia—the extent to which internal conflict and/or consensus characterized the society of the Revolutionary era.

Morrison-Williams
"David and Robert Morrison were brothers-in-law, having married Sharpe sisters. They also might have been brothers or cousins"--Page 1. Earlier it was thought (but this now seems doubtful) they might have been descendants of William Morrison, who served in the Revolutionary War and was given a land grant in what became Sumner County, Tennessee. There is no absolute knowledge about David and Robert before they appeared on the tax list of Wilson County, Tennessee in 1806 and 1804 respectively, but they probably moved there from North Carolina. Rufus Adlai Morrison (1842-1921), grandson of David, married Mary Ann Williams in 1873, and moved from Tennessee to Red Oak, Latimer County, Oklahoma. T...
