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.
James Hamilton and Rachel Lavien had two sons together: James, who was born in 1753, and Alexander. Interestingly, the exact year of Alexander Hamilton's birth is unknown because historians have found two sets of birth records. One set claims Hamilton was born on January 11, 1755, while the other says he was born in 1757. Hamilton himself maintained that he was born in 1757. Alexander Hamilton's family was too poor to afford any regular schooling for the boys, although Alexander later recalled studying for a short time at a Jewish school.
