I Can't Believe It's Not History Blogging

did maria reynolds have any siblings that we know, like, ANY shit about? i was just spending time on wikipedia and it said she had two sister that survived past childhood. i'm like, 99% sure maria did have siblings but do we,, do we know anything about them at all honestly

i’m afraid i don’t remember much anything at this point — just information like this, about who they married and when. i think sarah had a son born in 1782, maybe called john. i know the lewis family bible exists, so that might have more stuff about the life of the sisters, but i don’t have access to it.

if someone else wants to help out, go ahead.

I'm interested in the addresses in PHL that AH and Maria Reynolds met, esp their first night meeting at her place in July 1791. AH is listed in 1791 PHL Directory. But where MR was boarding is a bit more vague. There is a Mrs. Reynolds at 154 S. Fourth Street in that directory, but that is a common last name. Have you seen anything more conclusive? Looked under "Folwell" in '91 Directory but no boardinghouse. No 1792 Directory exists. James writes AH he's moved to Vine St in Aug 1792)

No, I don’t think I have any info about this. Anyone else want to help out?

hello, may I ask, is there anywhere specific where you get all the little quotes and parts of letters that Burr wrote Theodosia/Theo wrote Burr? Or do you just randomly find them on the Internet?

helloo! i answered to something similar here - and if you meant theodosia the daughter, those same sources have a lot of letters from/to her too.

@runawayforthesummer replied to your post: “Alex/Eliza: meet me in the morning.”:

i hope she fucking murders him

IT’S YOUR PROMPT!!

nah he is just bad. and eliza decides he’s not a worthy opponent and tackles him to the ground or some shit, and does that thing where she presses the tip of her sword to his cheek so there’s like a minuscule little wound, “i’m satisfied.” and alex is of course IN LOVE at this point

while angelica is the heir to the family title, eliza is the troublesome second child with a military career

Alex/Eliza: meet me in the morning.

Send me a ship and a fic title, and I’ll post a summary of the fic with that title I won’t write.

a royal court au. alexander is a young royal clerk, anxious to survive in a world filled with intrigue and enormous egos, where a single faux pas can wreck a man’s career. after a series of unfortunate, if amusing incidents, alexander finds he has indirectly offended the illustrious schuyler family. as the only way to salvage his future at court, he has to accept a challenge from eliza schuyler, a courtier infamous for her skill with sword and her ruthless determination to defend her family’s honor. the meeting will be held at dawn.

related to this famous quote:

1) why wouldnt you want to fuck a man who looks like albert gallatin

2) also, for burr, it would have been like “would you have sex with your clone” kind of a situation, another reason not to turn him down

I keep thinking about that JBC biography and this one, perfect line:

Church loved to be surrounded by the beautiful people and Hamilton was the most beautiful of all.

Like what kind of Snow White shit is this?

[madamejumel]

john barker church hcs for a modern au

looks like the most british dude you can imagine. imagine david cameron

he’s “””the cool uncle””” mostly in a way that he doesnt mind spending cash like he’s printing it in the garage (is he???) and the kids like that. sometimes he’s just plain boring

has an Edgy Sense of Humor. likes shocking people by saying random gross things (he thinks he’s being amazingly subversive because of his background - he grew up surrounded by the upper middle-class who would never say what they think but little does he know that he’s just being a rude rich guy who people tolerate bc of who he is) 

(angelica is the complete opposite especially when she’s young, she values getting along with people. when she gets older she cares less. and less)

(why is angelica attracted to him? do we want to know)

in general, his twenties-thirties are his “”radical”” phase. he complains about the uk. and then when he’s living in america he complains about how everything is better in the uk.

jbc teaches all the ham kids to shoot

tennis

hamilton is not out to everyone but some of his family&friends knows he’s bi. jbc included. and the guy is super fascinated by h’s sexuality. he keeps bringing it up at random moments and keeps telling ham about the times when he “fooled around with the lads” at eton or whatever

and he keeps asking hamilton whether he knows x person because “theyre, u know, gay too”

anytime jbc uses the word “queer” in conversation no matter the meaning he winks at hamilton like “u know. heheh”

hamilton just tries to ignore all of this

hamilton is friends with jbc bc sometimes he’s okay-ish and fun company especially when hamilton is having his middle-life crisis and wants to go out but most of the time it’s just out of duty because he’s his brother-in-law and you need to get along with your family!!
