    3. I imagine you have seen 'Provincial Councillors of Pennsylvania...' ? Ans: I think if it is accessible through general search-engine searches I have accessed it already. I wonder if that 1793 city directory entry might have come from his wife - he may well have been gone at that point [to wherever ]but he would still be head of household.  Or, as it seems to have been published by Dobson in early 1793, they would have gathered the information in 1792. Ans: I haven't looked at the City Directories for 1793 yet. I will check that out. Your guess that he might have died in the yellow fever epidemic but not in Philadelphia seems a reasonable assumption since he is not on the Philadelphia list of victims. Ans: I think that list was only partial so I wouldn't be surprised... It seems unlikely that the church would have allowed her to remarry without some sort of indication her husband was dead, especially since they were a well-known family in the city and connected to the Morrises. Ans: That's what I think, too. Vince
