I lived in a good house. I was a lawyer and I worked in court. My tools were the book of law which I would need to plead a case. I wore a wig just like all the other lawyers. I also wore breeches which are short pants.
I was born on December 12, 1745 in New York City, New York. I was the oldest child in my family. When I was eight I went to New Rocchel boarding school. Then when was old enough I went to Kings College.
A horn book was something children could read from . It sometimes
had A, B, C's on it but the paper was so expensive to cover it
they would take a thin slice of a cow horn. It was so thin that you could
see through it.

One of my quotes was: "Providence has given our people the choice
of their rules and it's our as well as a privilege and interest, of a christian
nation to select and prefer Christians for their rules."
I was the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. I was also
one of the three men responsible for the first Continental Congress.
This is a picture of me .
