This is the time of year I like to contemplate Morrisville. The tiny borough is where George Washington got the idea in early December 1776 to cross the Delaware River and attack the British in Trenton to save the American Revolution. Morrisville also was the home of Philadelphia banker Robert Morris. He was Washington’s go-to guy, delivering cash to George to keep the war going. After the war, Morris nearly convinced Congress to make his hometown the new nation’s capitol. Morrisville has a lesser claim to fame. It’s here where a famous French general chose exile. Except for a twist of fate while living in town, Jean Victor Marie Moreau might have become a national hero in the War of 1812. As it turned out, Andrew Jackson became the hero of that conflict and became president.
