Found multiple reference to Joseph Nourse, "first" Register of the Treasury, for example:

 * "America’s First Civil Servant As first Register of the Treasury, Joseph Nourse was a highly respected and distinguished civil servant. " (The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America)
 * "Nourse, Joseph, register of the treasury..." (Appletons Encyclopedia entry for Joseph Nourse)

Sound like he ought to head up this list. But there's a big gap from him to the next individual. -- btphelps (talk) 20:26, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
