Their children were as follows : Henry Gage, above mentioned, a captain in the royal navy; Amherst, who was named for his god-father Lord Arnherst, who was also a captain in tPie royal navy and who died unmarried in 1S02; Johanna, who married Captain Thomas Co^\•per Hincks of the British dragoons, and who died in 1S19; and another daughter, whose name and fate have not been ascertained.

To the memor)- of Captain Arnherst ]Morris there is a monument at Baildon, England. Of Captain Henry Gage Morris, honorable mention is made in the British Naval Historj'. Of Mrs. Morris' early life there is a most interesting incident. That Washington had some desire to become her suitor, is a fact which rests on the highest authority.

In Mr. Sparks' life of the illustrious commander-in-chief, there is the following passage : --

"\\1iile in New York in 1756, Washington was lodged and kindlj^ entertained at the house of Mr. Beverley Robinson, between vvhom and himself an intimacy of friendship subsisted, which indeed continued ■without change, till severed by their opposite fortunes twenty years afterwards in the Revolution. It happened that Miss Mary PhiHps, a sister of Mrs. Robinson, and a young lady of rare accomplishments, was an inmate in the family. The charms of this lady made a deep impression upon the heart of the Virginia Colonel. He v.ent to Boston, returned,. and was again welcomed to the hospitality of Mr. Robinson. He lingered there till duty called him av\ay; but he was careful to entrust his secret to a confidential friend, whose letters kept him informed of every important event. In a few months intelligence came that a rival was in the field; and that the consequences could not be answered for, if he dela}'ed to renew his visits to New York.
