He was Chief Justice of the New York Supreme Court from 1779 to 1790.[1] Early lifeHe was born on August 15, 1730,[2] in Morrisania, then located in Westchester County, New York, the third son of Lewis Morris (1698–1762) and Katrintje (Staats) Morris (1697–1731).[3] His paternal grandfather was Governor of New Jersey Lewis Morris (1671–1746). His brothers included Continental Congressman Lewis Morris (1726–1798) and Gen. Staats Long Morris (1728–1800). His half-brother was U.S. Senator Gouverneur Morris (1752–1816) and Assemblyman Richard Valentine Morris (1768–1815) was his nephew.[4] Morris was a graduate of Yale College in 1748. Then he studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1752.[1] CareerIn 1762, he was appointed by Governor Robert Monckton to the New York Court of Vice-Admiralty. At the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War he sided with the Patriots, and resigned from the bench in 1775. On March 4, 1778, he was appointed by the New York State Assembly to the New York State Senate as one of the representatives of the Southern District, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr. John Jones.
