==Pronunciation==
There is some question as to how to pronounce his first name, 'Gouverneur'. Some places suggest ''GOO-ver-NUR''<ref>[https://ourfriendben.wordpress.com/2008/05/28/a-most-confusing-name/ A most confusing name]</ref> while others point to ''gu-var-nur'',<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=iW1FAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA1-PA150 https://books.google.com/books?id=iW1FAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA1-PA150]</ref> but the most probable and correct pronunciation comes from [[Abigail Adams]], who was known for her phonetic writings. She wrote his name as ''Governeer''.<ref>[http://www.nationalreview.com/article/207063/impromptus-jay-nordlinger My moment of Hope. My man for chief justice. Talkin' Democrat - etc.], [[National Review]]</ref> The Weider History Group also pronounces it as Abigail did.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lucrpA-F3Cc HISTORY TALKS: Gouverneur Morris - Draftsman of the Constitution ]</ref>
