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.
Hamilton emigrated from the Caribbean. Alexander Hamilton was born on Nevis in the British West Indies to parents who were not married to each other. They were living on St. Croix when his father deserted the family, and his mother died when he was around 11, leaving Hamilton and his older brother impoverished.
