The sad thing is even tough they did so much for America, no one would really care about some random dude from the 1700s and his wife if there wasn't a musical about them... But thanks to Lin-Manuel Miranda their story got told and people can finally know about their lives
Some random dude? You know he was a founding father, first secretary of state, and creator of America's early economy? While Hamilton did Colbert bump them, especially Eliza, they would still be remembered for as long as America exists.

If Alexander Hamilton's name had been forgotten, (He is on our $10 bill, after all!!!) Lin would NOT have bothered to take the time, make the effort Invest the money OR His reputation - to present a musical about him🎆 (Just sayin'...)
Most people go to nyc and look at museums and tourist places while when I go to nyc I want to go to trinity church and see their grave sites and I also want to go to his house that they have gated up I think idk a lot about it but yea
She defended his honor all her life. Also, his eldest son died in defense of his honor (a duel...with the same pistols that Alexander himself later chose to use: perhaps planning to die like his son did...) Alexander was not a flawless man; that, he never pretended to be - But he was a brilliant, courageous man a loving husband and a mist attentive, tender father+
I’d like to visit New York. Both for the musicals and this grave. I’d thank them, maybe tell them like other people have about the influence Lin’s musical on the Hamiltons has on so many people. I’d like to do that.
We surely feel more alive, more deeply moved, witnessing his tombstone However Heaven is our goal✨ - where both reunions & long awaited introductions, will happen🎆
I look at this and see an area untouched by time since the day they were laid to rest. What a shock it would be to wake up to a sight like this in modern day New York City.
When hamilton died they had almost no money because they put it all on their house so the gravesite was funded by Hamilton's former soldiers and friends

Every other founding fathers story got told, every other founding father got to grow old. When you gone who remembers your name? Who keeps your flame? Who tells your story? Lin told his story. After 200 years his story got told
My dearest,Alexander, Born In the carribean...his father slip when he was 10 and 3 years later,him and his mother get deadly ill with yellow fever,Hamilton survives but his mothers died. He moves in with his cousin who commits suicide and because a sales clerk. He starts getting interested in his mother’s old books and starts writing. Everyone thinks he is a good writer and sends him to America,were he goes to college and becomes one of the founding fathers and first secretary of treasury
I’m not saying what he did was right but none of the founding fathers were this perfect little angels I mean no one in history was flaws in a human is what an makes a human ,human Thomas Jefferson had children and practically a relationship with his wife’s half sister (Sally) yes Sally was related to Martha Jefferson John Adams what is legitimately on of the laziest president yes he was notoriously known for making time for family but I believe he sacrificed so much time but he has to his family and didn’t worry about work especially when he was president He also to put the alien and sedation act in play so he sort of took away citizen first amendment rightI and basically humanity(he sounds like he is the type of parent That hates kids but loves his own) he also had a dog named Satan just have to put that out there James Madison Jr. some people call him the godfather foreign policy but the Monroe doctrine Flip the economy upside down wasn’t the greatest choice Benjamin Franklin was honestly a pretty chill dude he was against slavery which my grandmaReally argued that he owned slaves I mean he’s legit the Michelangelo of America I believe she was too into work to even worry about slaves and even servants George Washington was not the chill calm collected guy he was portrayed as he was in Hamilton he was known for having a temper on him even Eliza Schuyler called his wife a true woman because she had enough patience to deal with Washington’s temper John Jay Absolutely hated his job as supreme justice
To Phillipa soo’s gasp at the end on the musical I believe that it breaks this forth wall and his story, their story every time a performance is done is their story getting told each time,
Peggy is buried I think in Albany but I could be mistaken. She married a Van Resselaer who where at the time one of the richest families in New York. She was originally buried in a family spot on the grounds of a Van Resselaer home but grave robbers broke into the family crypt and stole things. I believe it may have been her grandson or had the coffins moved to a rural Albany cemetery where he had bought plots.
It would not be hard to find. But I am sure the church would never agree. A ground penetration by Lidar could easily find the coffin. What a God awful rule that Church had in those days.
@@brooks6766 That is crazy. You would think that they would have attended the funeral and been present at the cemetery the coffin was taken to be buried.
Let me tell you what I wish I'd known when I was young and dreamed of glory you have no control who lives who dies who tells your story-George Washington 1796
Wow, Eliza was 97 years and 3 months old when she died. What a long, amazing life she had.

Yeah, and I would love to see the room where it really happened.
I’ve walked past these gravesites so many times and thought nothing of it, but after really feeling the life story behind them, it hits different.

make the effort
Invest the money
OR
His reputation -
to present a musical about him🎆

She defended his honor all her life.

There is a Hamilton Happy Hour walking tour. My kids and I took it when we went to NYC. You start here.
Please do NOT underestimate what Alexander Hamilton did for Lin:
Gave him an opportunity to live in the USA
Made him a famous millionaire
When i die, if they dont bury me at this very graveyard, im not coming

We surely feel more alive, more deeply moved, witnessing his tombstone
However
Heaven is our goal✨
- where both reunions &
long awaited introductions,
will happen🎆
I read on online that his son Philip is buried there somewhere in that cemetery but unmarked..
😱
Yep bc he died in a duel
but I don't get it. Alexander died the same way as his son. Alexander gets to have a marked grave?
cupcake sunshine I think it was bc he was pretty famous
Yes its true. The Friends and family of Alexander had to fight with the Church to get Alexander the grave he has. Phillip has a grave there somewhere.
Atleast their story got told
I look at this and see an area untouched by time since the day they were laid to rest. What a shock it would be to wake up to a sight like this in modern day New York City.
I think Eliza's should have been bigger than Hamilton's because she told everybodies stories and was the strongest out them all.
she planned her own grave
She choose that grave
When hamilton died they had almost no money because they put it all on their house so the gravesite was funded by Hamilton's former soldiers and friends

Alexander is 263. Dang.
To Phillipa soo’s gasp at the end on the musical I believe that it breaks this forth wall and his story, their story every time a performance is done is their story getting told each time,
Alexander is still in “the room where it happens” in the heart of New York City. Burr is in a much smaller and quieter grave in Princeton, NJ.
Hercules Mulligan is buried there too.
eliza’s grave should’ve been bigger
Apparently she chose the one she has
Peggy...?
Gloomy dark she died younger from an illness before Alexander and Eliza died
She died the year that Phillip did, I think, alert me if this is false.
Peggy is buried I think in Albany but I could be mistaken. She married a Van Resselaer who where at the time one of the richest families in New York. She was originally buried in a family spot on the grounds of a Van Resselaer home but grave robbers broke into the family crypt and stole things. I believe it may have been her grandson or had the coffins moved to a rural Albany cemetery where he had bought plots.
Thanks for the information 👌
@izzy Peggy died in March of 1801 Phillip in November of 1801. Eliza could have very well still been mourning her sisters death.
Is Angelica also buried there? And Philip?
Yes and HECULUES MULLIGAN
Sad fact: no one knows where Phillip hamilton was buried.
😭
“Phillip you would like it up town it’s quiet uptown.”
It would not be hard to find. But I am sure the church would never agree. A ground penetration by Lidar could easily find the coffin. What a God awful rule that Church had in those days.
