Pelham Resident Recorded His Impressions of Meeting Aaron Burr

Aaron Burr, who served as Vice President during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson and who fought a duel with, and mortally wounded, Alexander Hamilton on July 11, 1804, spent time in Pelham, bought a farm there which he promptly sold to his step-son Augustine J. F. Prevost, and married Theodosia Bartow Prevost, a widow born in Pelham Manor who was ten years his senior. The story of the farm itself is quite fascinating, as evidenced by the work of Pelham Manor resident Mark Gaffney.
