Although Robert Morris (1734-1806), the Financier of the American Revolution, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution, a powerful committee chairman in the Continental Congress, an important figure in Pennsylvania politics, and perhaps the most prominent businessman of his day, he is today least known of the great national leaders of the Revolutionary era.This oversight is being rectified by this definitive publication project that transcribes and carefully annotates the Office of Finance diary, correspondence, and other official papers written by Morris during his administration as superintendent of finance from 1781 to 1784.

"John Holbrook, son of William Holbrook, of Glasstonbury, Somersetshire, England was born circa 1595. He married his wife Sarah in England. It is presumed John and Sarah emigrated from England to America prior to 1625. The Holbrooks fourth child was born in Weymouth, Massachusetts in 1627. "He [John] was in Dorchester, Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635 and in 1640 he was made a freeman there ... [He] settled in that part of Weymouth known as "Old Spain"--Page 9. Sarah Holbrook " ... died in Weymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony, November 14, 1643"--Page 9. John "died probably before 1644."--P. 9.
