| − | Randall Fish died early in Hamilton's life, in 1875 in Washington DC, and his mother was allegedly unable to care for Hamilton for a few years and put him in an orphanage, later taking him back out. That is an interesting tale because Randall Fish was at one time quite wealthy. More research needs to be done on this part of his story. | + | His father Randall Fish died early in Hamilton's life, in 1875 in Washington DC, and his mother was allegedly unable to care for Hamilton for a few years and put him in an orphanage, later taking him back out.
