John A. Marshall was appointed by President Grover Cleveland as the first U.S. District Court judge for Utah when it became a state in 1896. He was a grandnephew of America’s fourth Chief Justice John Marshall and a great-grandson of a founding father of the United States, Robert Morris. Morris was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution and, along with Alexander Hamilton, founded the country’s financial system.
