Image description

Robert Morris, Jr. (January 20, 1734 – May 8, 1806) was an English-born American merchant, and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Although he attempted to avoid creditors by staying outside the city at "The Hills", his country estate on the Schuylkill River, his creditors literally pursued him to his gate. After he was sued by a former partner, a fraud who at that time was serving time in debtor's prison, Morris was arrested. He was imprisoned for debt in Prune Street prison in Philadelphia from February 1798 to August 1801. Castner Scrapbook v.19 p. 36
