Description Glass negative showing two large yew trees standing in front of a wooden fence at Haddon Hall. Marriott C. Morris' sister Elizabeth Canby Morris sits beneath the tree on the right. She wears a long dark dress and hat. Haddon Hall is named after Elizabeth Haddon (1680-1762) who immigrated to the United States in 1701 to manage property her father had bought in the colonies, later Haddonfield. In 1702, she married John Estaugh (d. 1742), a Quaker missionary. The yew trees in her garden were brought over from England circa 1713. Haddon Hall was owned by the Wood family from 1831 to nearly the 20th century.
