The Unfortunate Valentine MorrisChepstow Society, 1964 - 96 من الصفحات Valentine Morris (1727-1789) was born in Antigua in the Leeward Islands and lived chiefly in Monmouth County, England. He married Mary Mordaunt in 1748, and in the 1770s was appointed Lieutenant-Governor and then Governor of the Island of St. Vincent (which had been acquired from the French by the Treaty of Paris in 1763). As a side effort to their aid to the American Revolution, the French re-took the island in 1779 and (after a short captivity) Valentine Morris returned to England. He was in debtor's prison when the English reoccupied St. Vincent in 1784, but was released the end of 1788, a few months before his death. |
