“And when my time is up have I done enough?

After 2 years, it is with a heavy heart that I will be closing this blog. I am still very active in the Hetalia community and my love for Hamilton will never die, but times and priorities have changed. I hope you understand. 

You can find me and my drawings in these locations. My main blogs are @romechu and @kistaroshinaragi.

Thank you for following Alice and me through this blog’s journey.

… Will they tell my story?”

I haven’t posted in a long time! But that doesn’t mean that I’ve abandoned this blog! I’m working on coming back. College has kept me really busy and I’ve suddenly realized that I’m running at least 5 ask blogs now. I never forget them, so this is blog that will also not be forgotten.

Thanks for being patient!

Elizabeth Hamilton to Margarita Schuyler, 1781

Count Charles my Dear Margaret arrived here last night and brought me the enclosed letters from our Amiable Angelica.  The Celebrated Beauty Count Dillon accompanied him.  He is handsome but nothing equal to what Uncle Cortlandt was nor do I imagine very Clever.  There has been a _____ Ball given to Mr. Carter (?), and the only one.  Let me know if your friend Maria Morris is with you and how you pass your time.  As to me I am the happiest of Women.  My dear Hamilton is fonder of me every day.  Get married I charge you and give this advice to your friend.  There is no possible felicity but in that state imagined me my Sister.  I was much in want of it.

Adieu. Give my love to Papa and Mama and our friends and the others.  ____

With every regard,

Eliz Hamilton

January 21st, 1781

He was ill for a while, having to cede his leadership of the Invasion of Quebec to Major General Montgomery. I am happy, if not troubled by, his not going because he could have very easily fallen to the same fate as Montgomery in that failed invasion.

He continues his work in the Continental Congress, of course.

That is right! In order it is Chiara, me, and Amadea.

[History stuff below]

From my quick search about the Schuyler family tree, I found something very different. My research is not at all comprehensive nor guaranteed accurate. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Out of creative liberties, the Schuylers had no sons, according to Lin Manuel Miranda:

“In Hamilton, the song “The Schuyler Sisters” diverges from what really happened. 

I actually forgot that Phillip had 15 children. But I think that my brain wanted me to forget because it’s stronger dramatically if societally she can’t marry you. And in reality, she was married when they met.

She was married when Hamilton came into the Schuyler sisters lives. Moreover, “Helpless” and “Satisfied” are a microcosm for the whole story which entirely depends on who tells it.

To me, it’s extremely effective to see the courtship from Eliza’s perspective, then rewind the whole thing and then tell it again. Angelica, while she and Hamilton are soul mates, she reads him in a second and knows she can’t marry him so she lets her sister marry him to keep him in her life. I definitely had to take a dramatic license.”

From my own research: Philip Schulyer and Catherine Van Rensselaer Schuyler had fifteen children, eight of which survived to adulthood. There were five Schuyler sisters: Angelica Schuyler Church (1756-1814), Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton (1757-1854), Margarita "Peggy" Schuyler Van Rensselaer (1758-1801), Cornelia Schuyler Morton (1775-1808), and Catherine Schuyler Malcolm Cochran (1781-1857). Three Schuyler brothers survived to adulthood: John Bradstreet Schuyler (1765-1795), Philip Jeremiah Schuyler (1768-1835), and Rensselaer Schuyler (1773-1847). I couldn’t find the names of every single Schuyler child, so I’m assuming either some of them were stillborn or died in infancy before being given names.

But from the Wikipedia page for Philip Schuyler:

“In September 1755, he married Catherine Van Rensselaer (1734–1803) at Albany. Philip and Catherine had eleven children together, eight of whom survived to adulthood, including:

•  Angelica (1756-1814), who married British MP John Barker Church. •  Elizabeth (1757-1854), married Alexander Hamilton who later was the first United States Secretary of the Treasury. Elizabeth cofounded the first orphanage in New York City. •  Margarita (Margaret) (1758-1801), who married Stephen Van Rensselaer III 8th Patroon of the name. •  Cornelia (1761-1762) •  John Bradstreet (1763-1764) •  John Bradstreet (1765-1795), who married Elizabeth Van Rensselaer, the sister of Stephen Van Rensselaer III who married his sister Margarita.[6] •  Philip Jeremiah Schuyler (1768-1835), who served in the United States House of Representatives. •  Rensselaer (1773-1847), married Elizabeth Ten Broeck, daughter of General Abraham Ten Broeck •  Cornelia (1776-1808), married Washington Morton •  Cortlandt (1778-1778) •  Catherine Van Rensselaer (1781-1857), who married first Samuel Malcolm, and then James Cochran, son of Dr. John Cochren, who was married to her Aunt Gertrude (Philip Schuyler’s sister).”

I just don’t know why the Wikipedia page says and shows eleven children. I have found a couple of sources saying fifteen.

Chiara is doing very well, as always, enchanting everyone around her. She’s taking a liking to my Alfred, however...

O-Of course, I couldn’t possibly say that there is anything wrong about that!
