Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton

And I was shocked because she comes from the world of theater.

You know, she was the original Eliza in Hamilton.

And she, I just, she has, she's done some TV shows and she's done some film, but really her world is theater.

And I just did not picture that.

The Ha- the Hamilton son who retreats to a cabin.

You know who wanders out there to see him is aged Elizabeth Hamilton.

Oh my God.

Gets in a carriage and is like, "I'm going to see my son."

Both men at this time were married and beginning to establish themselves outside of the military.

Hamilton married Elizabeth Shuler, known as Eliza, and 1780.

Burr married Theodosia Prevost in 1782, although their courtship had been anything but conventional.

Theodosia was still married when she and Burr began their relationship, and their eventual marriage came only after her husband died, and both men's lives had already begun to change in other significant ways.

The national government could make treaties, but it had little power to force individual states to honor them.

This argument became famous in the 1784 case of Ruckers v. Waddington.

Elizabeth Ruckers was a patriot widow who had fled New York during the British occupation.

Her brewery was occupied and operated by British-connected merchants, and under the Trespass Act, she sued Joshua Waddington for 8,000 pounds in damages.

The European banks recommended an institution with a capital of ten or fifteen millions, with authority to establish branches, and with the sole right to issue paper currency equal to the amount of its capital.

He declined several offers of public place, but finally accepted an appointment from Robert Morris, June of 1782, as continental receiver of taxes for New York.

This afforded him an opportunity of meeting the New York legislature, which had been summoned in extra session at Poughkeepsie in July to receive a report from a committee of Congress.

Wealthy and influential, Elizabeth Eliza Schuyler, Dutch's father, was a Continental General and devoted Christian, part of the Dutch Reformed Church.

Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton.

grew up with a deep devotion to Jesus Christ.

As a little girl, she accompanied her father to a meeting of the Six Nations, a powerful confederacy of Northeast Native tribes.

Then she helped open an orphanage and years later served as director of the New York Orphan Asylum Society for 27 years.

She lived generously for 97 years serving orphans and honoring her husband's memory.

Hamilton narrates Alexander Hamilton's life in two acts and details, among other things, his involvement in the Revolutionary War as aide-de-camp to George Washington, his marriage to Eliza Schuyler, his career as a lawyer and secretary of the Treasury, and his interactions with Aaron Burr, the main narrator for most of the musical, which culminates in their duel that ends Hamilton's life.
