John Church Hamilton (August 22, 1792 − July 25, 1882) was the fourth son, fifth child of the founding father Alexander Hamilton.
John Hamilton was twelve years old when his father was killed in a duel with presidential candidate Aaron Burr.[1]
After graduating from Columbia College in 1809, he served in the U.S. Army during the War of 1812 from March to June 1814 with the rank of second lieutenant.[1] During this time he served as an aide de camp to Major General, and future president, William Henry Harrison.
Professionally he was a historian and lawyer, and devoted decades to writing about the life of his father and sorting through his letters and other papers.[2] The Life of Alexander Hamilton and a seven-volume History of the republic of the United States of America are among several books that he published about his father's life.[1]
Gen. Schuyler Hamilton (1822–1903) was his son
His obituary appeared in the New York Times and reads:
John Church Hamilton, a son of Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, died early yesterday morning in the Stockton cottage, on Ocean avenue, Trinity Church at 12 [PM] tomorrow."
