After killing Hamilton, Aaron Burr was charged with murder in both New York and New Jersey, but the cases never came to trial because witnesses had deliberately averted their eyes to preserve deniability.

Hamilton survived the boat crossing and the night, dying at 2 PM on 12 July 1804 at a friend's house in Greenwich Village — over 24 hours after being shot. Eliza arrived with all seven children and her sister Angelica. The Bishop of New York, Benjamin Moore, was summoned, and Hamilton — still managing formal politeness in extremis — asked for communion, reassured Moore he would never duel again if he recovered, and received the sacrament. His final public statement was perhaps his most calculated: 'I have no ill will against Colonel Burr. I met him with a fixed resolution to do him no harm. I forgive all that happened.' Tom immediately identifies this as a masterstroke — a dying man publicly pinning the moral blame on his killer. The Bishop wrote it all down, of course. Hamilton was buried at Trinity Churchyard, Lower Manhattan, where his grave can still be visited today. [1] — Alexander Hamilton "I have no ill will against Colonel Burr. I met him with a fixed resolution to do him no harm. I forgive all that happened." 1:07:10
Hamilton died leaving his family approximately $50,000 in debt — a figure worth millions of dollars today — including a mortgage on his country house, the Grange, which Eliza could not repay alone.
Eliza Hamilton never remarried and spent 50 years devoted to her husband's memory. Hamilton's friends bought the Grange and sold it back to her at half price. She co-founded the Orphan Asylum Society of New York and died aged 97 — having outlived Alexander by more than half a century.
