Elizabeth Hamilton, American Patriot

Portrait of Elizabeth Hamilton by Ralph Eagle. Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton (August 9, 1757 - November 9, 1854) was the wife of Alexander Hamilton. She was born in Albany, New York, the second daughter of Philip Schuyler, an American Revolutionary War general, and Catherine Van Rensselaer Schuyler. The Rensselaers of the Manor of Rensselaerswyck were one of the richest and most politically influential families in the state of New York. On December 14, 1780, Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler were married at Schuyler Mansion. Throughout her life, she defended her husband against his critics, maintaining his authorship of George Washington's "Farewell Address" and refusing to acknowledge his responsibility in the duel and sexual scandals of his life. A religious woman, Eliza spent much of her life working to help widows and orphans. After Hamilton's death, she co-founded New York's first private orphanage, the New York Orphan Asylum Society. She died in 1854 at the age of 97.
