How many children did he have?: Alexander and Elizabeth Hamilton had eight children. Remarkably for the time, all but the eldest, Philip, lived well into adulthood. Philip died in a tragic duel in 1801, defending his father's honor. Alexander only gave his son one bit of advice for the duel, that being to fire into the air.
Philip Hamilton died a day later, in agony. The death marked the Hamilton family indelibly. Philip's sister Angelica suffered a nervous breakdown from which she never recovered. Yet this would not stop Alexander Hamilton from defending his honor against Aaron Burr on the same dueling grounds three years later.
