Professor Emeritus Daniel Scott Marrone, a SUNY Distinguished Service Professor who taught in the School of Business, has won a $2,000 research fellowship from the New York Historical Society.

“The task before me involves examining, reading, researching, and writing, concerning the lives of Francis Lewis, Elizabeth Lewis, and their son, Morgan Lewis, as well as Maturin Livingston, the son-in-law of Morgan Lewis,” Dr. Marrone says. “All these individuals made enormous contributions to the early establishment of New York State, and to the successive generations of individuals that proudly call themselves New Yorkers.”

Dr. Marrone is a contributing editor of American Spirit: Magazine of the National Daughters of the American Revolution. He recently published an article about Francis Lewis: “Francis Lewis Park at the Former Estate of the Signer of the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation.”

Lewis was one of four New Yorkers to sign the Declaration of Independence.
