Happy 235th (December 14, 1780) anniversary to Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler.
They had eight children in their 24 years together. Elizabeth outlived her husband by 50 years (she was 97 when she died in 1854). In his honor, she co-founded the New York Orphan Asylum Society, the first private orphanage in America. It is still in operation.

Thank you, @hamiltonthemusical, @linmanuel for bringing their story to life.
