Biographical History
Morris County was established on March 15, 1738/1739 and was named after the Governor of New Jersey, Colonel Lewis Morris (1671-1746). The first Morris County court met at Morristown on March 25, 1740. Jacob Ford and Samuel Tuthill were the first judges appointed by the county in 1776. The attorney general acted as the Prosecutor of the Pleas before 1824, and if he was absent the court appointed a lawyer to perform his duties. A County Court of Common Pleas heard cases between two people as opposed to cases involving the state and an individual.
