Maria Reynolds
Maria Reynolds (née Lewis; March 30, 1768 – March 25, 1828) was the wife of James Reynolds, and was Alexander Hamilton's mistress between 1791 and 1792. She became the object of much scrutiny after the release of the Reynolds Pamphlet and central in America's first political sex scandal. Early life Maria Reynolds, born as "Maria Lewis," was born in New York City on March 30, 1768, the daughter of Susanna Van Der Burgh and her second husband, Richard Lewis. She had six half-siblings, including Col. Lewis DuBois and Captain Henry DuBois, and five full siblings, at least two of whom (older sisters named Susannah and Sarah) lived to adulthood. The Lewises do not appear to have been well-off: Richard Lewis was a merchant and/or laborer, and could not sign his name. Susanna Van Der Burgh Lewis, however, could write at least her name, and Maria Lewis grew up literate, though largely uneducated. On July 28, 1783, when she was 15, Maria Lewis married James Reynolds. Reynolds had ser ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
