• Alexander Hamilton Left Lasting Mark On U.S.

One of our greatest Founding Fathers, Alexander Hamilton, was born this week (Jan. 11) in either 1755 or 1757; Hamilton gave 1757 as his birth year but probate records support 1755. In either case, Hamilton was born poor and illegitimate on Nevis Island in the British West Indies to a shiftless father, who soon abandoned him, and a poor mother who died when he was (probably) 13.
