  • Patrick Morris (ca. 1789 – August 22, 1849) was an Irish-born merchant, ship owner, farmer, author and politician in Newfoundland. He represented St. John's in the Newfoundland House of Assembly from 1836 to 1840. He was president of the Agricultural Society. He was born in County Waterford and came to St. John's around 1804 as a clerk for a merchant from Waterford. Several years later, he went into business on his own. Passengers from Ireland, the main overseas source of seasonal labour, increased in concert with the volume of supplies. St John's controlled much of this inflated traffic. Morris's trade centered on the importation of passengers and provisions from his native Waterford and the return of cargoes of cod and oil. He did not restrict himself to the maritime but also timber, brick, limestone, and slate. He purchased a total of four brigs or deep-sea vessels between 1814 and 1825. Waterford gradually faded as a profitable source of supplies. Morris then sent his ships to Cork and Liverpool, and after 1825 to Hamburg and Danzig, where prices were half those in British ports. In 1828, he published a pamphlet, Arguments to prove the policy and necessity of granting to Newfoundland a constitutional government, which lobbied for local representative government in Newfoundland. In 1840, after leaving the House of Assembly, he was named to the Newfoundland Council as colonial treasurer. (en)
