Much of the information in this blog (and in all previous Hamilton bios) has been updated, expanded, or even corrected in Michael E. Newton's new book Discovering Hamilton. Please check that book before using or repeating any information you read here on this blog (or that you read in previous Hamilton biographies).
On July 10, 2019, Michael E. Newton spoke about “Alexander Hamilton’s Birthdate, Early Biography, and More” and launched his new book Discovering Hamilton at an event hosted by the Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society and The Colonial Dames of America.
In this talk, Michael E. Newton shared new evidence and conclusions about Alexander Hamilton’s birthdate, places of residence, religion, parents, and more.
This is an excellent lecture. Hearing Michael Newton present evidence from primary sources regarding Alexander Hamilton’s date, place of birth and his mother’s relationships has convinced me that his conclusions are sound.
