Summary: Very miscellaneous papers of Anthony Morris, his son, James P. Morris, and grandson, Phineas P. Morris. Anthony Morris papers, 1786-1859, include some correspondence, accounts, and 1813 memoranda relative to Morris's efforts to have Spain cede Florida to the United States. Also in this section are papers, 1767-1817, of Francis Nichols, who served with Morris during the Revolution. There is a small amount of correspondence, affidavits, and accounts on the battle of Quebec during which Nichols was captured; letters from his nephew Arthur St. C. Nichols, a merchant in Havanna; and estate correspondence, accounts, and other legal papers, Bird Wilson, executor. The James P. Morris and Phineas P. Morris sections consist primarily of school notes with some additional legal and financial papers.
