Alexander Hamilton, the ablest American jurist and statesman of the early constitutional era of the United States, was born at the island of Nevis, one of the Antilles under the dominion of England, on January ii, 1757- His father was a Scotch emigrant who had settled at St. Christopher, where he engaged in mercantile business. His mother was the daughter of a Huguenot named Faucette, a prosperous physician of Nevis. She had been the wife of a Mr. (lirvine, also a physician, and during a brief married life dwelt at St. Christopher; but, owing to faults of his, she appears to have been driven to procure the judicial dissolution of the marriage, after which she returned to her fathers home at Nevis, and there married James Hamilton.
