Lewis Morris's Birth Card: The King of Diamonds

New York

Born April 8, 1726

Died January 22, 1798

The Wealthy King

A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict the Declaration or a revolution.

In the record

Lewis Morris (April 8, 1726 – January 22, 1798) was an American Founding Father, landowner, and developer from Morrisania, New York, presently part of Bronx County. The birth-card coordinate for April 8 is the King of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast.

The King of Diamonds coordinate

Lewis Morris's birthday maps to the King of Diamonds (The Wealthy King). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about the Declaration and not a verdict on Lewis Morris. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You run the system and you can show your work.

Lewis Morris in the public record

He signed the U.S. Declaration of Independence as a delegate to the Continental Congress from New York. Morris was born on April 8, 1726, at his family's estate, Morrisania, presently part of Bronx County, in what was then the Province of New York. He was the third Lewis Morris in the Morris family. He was the son of Lewis Morris (1698–1762) and Katrintje "Catherine" Staats (1697–1731). After his mother died, his father married Sarah Gouverneur (1714–1786). He graduated from Yale College in 1746, and upon his father's death in 1762, he inherited the bulk of the estate. Morris' father had seven children, including his siblings, Staats Long Morris (1728–1800) and Richard Morris (1730–1810), and his half-siblings, Mary Lawrence, Gouverneur Morris (1752–1816), Isabella, and Catherine.
