Humphrey Morrey
Humphrey Morrey, or Murrey (b. c. 1650, England – d. 1716, Philadelphia) was the first Mayor of Philadelphia under William Penn's 1691 charter. He was not elected, but rather was appointed by William Penn.〔The Pennsylvania magazine of history and biography, Volume 18, by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, 1894〕 He was the great-great-great-great-grandfather of the singer, actor and political activist Paul Robeson.
Morrey was one of the 15 founders of Cheltenham Township, Pennsylvania.
Morrey first came to Philadelphia in 1683 and worked as a merchant. In 1685, he was appointed a justice of the peace. In 1687, and again in 1690, he was chosen to the provincial assembly. In the charter of March 20, 1691, by which Philadelphia was incorporated as a city, Morrey was appointed mayor. The length of his term was 10 years. In 1701, Edward Shippen was appointed by Penn to a one-year term. He was then re-elected to a second. Mayors of Philadelphia were, from that point, elected to one-year terms, until 1887, when the current term of four years began.
