One day he was summoned to go to war before they were planned to get married. Elizabeth wanted to run off and get married before he left.

They lived a long and happy life, until Alexander was killed in a duel with Aaron Burr. In the years to come Elizabeth was wrought with great loss. Her father and mother were both killed soon after Alexander. Elizabeth continued to do great things like, help with the founding of the first Orphanage
