The mother-in-law of my 1st cousin 7x removed, Mary White- Morris. She came from a prominent family in Maryland. She married to Senator Robert Morris II. Her husband was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and the United States Constitution.He subsequently paid from his own funds the troops via "Morris notes" to continue Washington's ability to wage war as the US currency had no value.When the Federal Government moved from New York, he offered his home to his friend George Washington. Washington was familiar with the place, since he had stayed there with Morris during the Constitutional Convention. John Adams occupied it in turn. Morris initially offered his city home to Washington for free, but to avoid the appearance of improper influence, he rented the house for $1 a year to the city of Philadelphia to be used as the presidential residence. Philadelphia was the temporary US capital from 1790–1800 during the construction of Washington, D.C.. Morris moved next door, into another house he owned on the corner of 6th and High (Market). In 1787 Morris was elected to the Constitutional Convention.

This is the photo for the Morris/White family vault. All names are on the inscription; however, we do know from documentation in Edward Clark's Inscriptions from 1864 that 30 family members are interred here. Photos of the pages of that book accompany this photo. Shame on the person who roamed around and said "searched the entire cemetery and could not find the grave." Those kinds of people should not be allowed to volunteer on this site. They need to do their homework.
