No. The people I follow didn’t like Aaron Burr, so I wouldn’t have gone near anything of his.

My 5th great grandfather put his daughter into the care of Alexander Hamilton when his wife died, and she was with them until her sister, my 4th great grandmother, took her into her married home. So I follow the Hamiltons, but not the Burrs.

And the Jays. John Jay used to stay with my 5th great grandparents, and tried to have his son taken in by them when he was Ambassador to Spain.

Sorry to hear that (in a way, because Aaron Burr was barking mad, so I understand people would avoid him).

John Jay is an underappreciated figure of the Federal period.
