ParentAnthony Morris

Anthony Morris (March 1682 – September 23, 1763) was a brewer, merchant, judge, assemblyman, and mayor of Philadelphia.[1]

Early life and education

Morris was born in London, the son of Anthony Morris, Jr.. He emigrated with his family to colonial-era British America, where they settled in New Jersey shortly after his birth.

At age three, the family moved to Philadelphia, where Morris spent the rest of his life. Like his father, Morris was a prominent member of the Religious Society of Friends in Philadelphia.

Career

Philadelphia brewing

In 1696, Morris' father paid fellow brewer Henry Babcock 20 pounds (equal to £3,505.41 today) to place the younger Anthony in a seven-year indentured apprenticeship.

Morris later founded the Morris Brewery, which emerged as one the most highly regarded among colonial Philadelphia's many breweries.

Philadelphia politics

In 1737, Morris served as an associate justice of the city court. He sat for several sessions as a member of the assembly.

The following year, in 1738, like his father before him, he served as mayor of Philadelphia. He was reelected the following year in 1739, but to chose not to serve. In 1747, he was again elected, but fled the city to Bucks County to avoid having to serve. After three days of searching for Morris, a new election for mayor was scheduled.[2]

Death

On September 23, 1763, Morris died in Philadelphia, at age 81.

Legacy

Morris's grandson, Samuel, was Captain of the First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry during the American Revolutionary War, which served with distinction as General George Washington's bodyguard during 1776 and 1777.
