Okay so a while ago I signed up for an ancestry free trial and while I was on there I looked for things about my boy AJ and found Eliza P. Knox’s will :((( I can’t read the handwriting at all but was able to make out the words “My beloved and most affectionate husband” and I just !!!!!! THATS MY BOY !!!! BELOVED !!!!

.......And again on Friday night, Mrs. Colonel Alex.and.er Ham.il.ton, great in her ancestry, flickered into eternity. The deceased was the wife of colonel Alexa.nd.er Ham.il.ton, son of the great Ham.ilt.on who was shot by Aar.on Bu.rr. She was a niece of President Monroe, and was a woman of much refinement and culture. Her Husband is a venerable octogenarian, long a resident of the ancient town of Brunswick. He is more distinguished for his fine, thorough gentlemanly bearing and his illustrious progenitor than for any particular greatness developed by himself. He was at one time United States Consult to Cuba

On this day 146 years ago, Eliza P. Knox (Alex Junior’s wife) passed away.

On this day 19 years ago, your girl was born.

Look it's my son's wife. I like how the guy listed as her father isn't the dude Junior said it was. Not even being sarcastic, one of them is wrong and idk who to believe anymore
