• Notes

  Alexander Hamilton, the subject of the very popular Broadway musical, is a cousin to my father's side of the family. He was a brilliant, passionate man who was the aide to General George Washington, a Major General in the Revolutionary War, and our countries 1st Treasurer. He literally created and organized our monetary system. He had a life of many challenges, losing his son and his own life to duals. Aaron Burr was the person that shot him.
