Hamilton was born on the island of Nevis in the British West Indies, on January 11, 1755 or 1757 (the exact date is unknown). Hamilton's parents were Rachel Fawcett Lavien, who was of British and French Huguenot descent, and James Hamilton, a Scottish trader.
In the fall of1772 he arrived in Elizabethtown, New Jersey from Saint Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean about 1755.
Alexander Hamilton emigrated to the United States from Christiansted, St. Croix (formerly capital of the Danish West Indies, now part of the US Virgin Islands) in 1772.
He had no family and was an orphan so the opportunity was in the colonies to make a life for himself. It was Washington who discovered his genius.
