Was it true that Hamilton's mother was a whore?
If yes, how did he feel about it? Did his political enemies use it against him?
If not, who started the rumor?
Thank you and have a nice day!
The only informational and reliable source material I can find in regards to Rachel are; Ron Chernow's biography, and Micheal E. Newton's blog. If by whore, you mean she didn't let herself get restrained by bitch ass men; then yeah. The truthful rumors originated from Rachel's first husband, Johann Lavien.
Lavien peddled household goods and was a slave holder. He owned at least sixteen slaves, including five to seven children. He was possibly a Jewish man, but if he was; he hid it greatly. The Carribean region was treated as a sideline international trade center, especially for the British and Americans. Lavien attempted to utilize the system to make himself wealthy, and spent all his fortune on a plantation and pompous attire.
According to Hamilton; despite Rachel's disinterest in Lavien, her mother, Mary Uppington Faucette, encouraged Lavien to marry her. Because she was captivated by his expensive clothes and rich appeal, and had to push Rachel into reluctantly agreeing to what became a hated marriage. And in 1745, they married — Rachel was sixteen at the time. The couple moved to a plantation called Contentment. The coming year, in 1746; they had their son, Peter Lavien. Although it appears the marriage quickly became an unhappy one. Hamilton claims that Lavien only married Rachel for the wealth that she inherited from her late father;
“A Dane a fortune-hunter of the name of Lavine came to Nevis bedizzened with gold, and paid his addresses to my mother then a handsome young woman having a snug fortune.”
(source — Alexander Hamilton to William Jackson, [August 26, 1800])
Likely due to the disheartening conditions of their marriage, Rachael soughted out a romantic relationship with a man named Johan Jacob Cronenberg. According to Newton's records findings;
“Johan Michael Lawin [...] had been obliged to experience that his wedded wife, Rachel, who for a long time had absented herself from him, was residing with a bachelor Johan Cronenberg.”
“Johan Michael Lawin, whose wedded wife the aforesaid Cronenberg accuses of having resided with him for a long time in fornication.”
(source — Discovering Hamilton)
Apparently Lavien heard somehow of Rachel's residing with Cronenberg, and “found” her in Cronenberg's “lodging, well hidden behind locked doors, wherefrom her husband fetched her and drove her home.” Due to this being an act of infidelity since Rachel and Lavien were not divorced; Cronenberg was “not only…seriously warned to keep away from this woman of loose morals but also punished with some days’ incarceration.” Despite this, Rachel soon returned to live with Cronenberg. And Cronenberg “again had sexual relations with this woman and without feeling shame publicly kept her with him in his house and lived there with her.”
October 8, 1749, John Lavien; “requested the court’s assistance to repair with him to Cronenberg’s plantation house to seize and arrest Cronenberg and Rachel for further legal prosecution.” Which did eventually lead to the arrest of Rachel and Cronenberg;
“‘This the agent of the court complied with, and at night at about 12 o’clock had come to said plantation and […] the 2 accused persons were found in the bedroom taking their usual night’s rest.’
‘The agents of the court […] seized them both in their bedroom, undressed and with more debauched circumstances that sufficiently demonstrated their shameless intercourse and scandalous life’ and ‘declared them both to be under arrest and had them brought…to Fort Christiansvaern’ to be imprisoned.”
(source — Discovering Hamilton)
By the 10th, or 20th, the court case of Cronenberg and Rachel was brought before the municipal court. And both Rachael and Cronenberg were charged and found guilty, they were sentenced to be imprisoned at Fort Christiansvaern.
US National Park Service marker for the Christiansted National Historic Site
“Rachel spent several months in a dark, cramped cell that measured ten by thirteen feet, and she must have gone through infernal torments of fear and loneliness. Through a small, deeply inset window, she could stare across sharpened spikes that encircled the outer wall and gaze at the blue-green water that sparkled in the fierce tropical sunlight. She could also eavesdrop on the busy wharf, stacked with hogsheads of sugar [...] All the while, she had to choke down a nauseating diet of salted herring, codfish, and boiled yellow cornmeal mush.”
(source — Alexander Hamilton, by Ron Chernow)
Nearly eight months after having his wife and her paramour imprisoned; Lavien requested to the municipal court to free Rachel, and expressed his belief that she had been sufficiently punished. On the 4th of May, 1750, the court agreed and decided that Rachel, “in consideration of her long incarceration,” was to be released so that she “might again betake herself to her husband and with him lead a better life.”
But instead of submitting to the disgusting patriarchal system, and her cruel husband; Rachel left in 1750, after five years of unhappy marriage. She moved to St. Kitts early of that year, where she met James Hamilton (There are a few theories they had met previously, but there are no official records to support such). They had both been struggling with the taints involving their names, and had likely been drawn together. Hamilton claims his parents married, but in any legal sense they had not;
“My mother afterwards went to St. Kitts, became acquainted with my father and a marriage between them ensued, followed by many years cohabitation and several children.”
(source — Alexander Hamilton to William Jackson, [August 26, 1800])
In 1753, they had James Hamilton Jr., and on January 11, 1757 (Or 1755), they had Alexander Hamilton. Some sources claim (Including Hamilton himself) they had more children, but if they did; they are unknown, and there are no surviving records to prove such. Rachel inherited a property in the capital Charlestown, also three enslaved servants from her mother — who were; Rebecca, Flora, and Esther, one of them had a son named Ajax, and he was assigned to care for James Jr and Hamilton.
Fast forward to 1759 - nine years after Rachel fled - Lavien has found himself in a lot of debt. He had to sell most of his plantation, and rent out his few slaves to make enough. A dutiful woman was living with, and cleaning for Lavien. It is likely that he wished to marry her, which lead to him wishing to obtain a divorce summons on February 26, 1759.
Lavien claimed Rachel had;
“absented herself from [Lavien] for nine years and gone elsewhere, where she has begotten several illegitimate children, so that such action is believed to be more sufficient for him to obtain a divorce from her.”
(source — Alexander Hamilton, by Ron Chernow)
Lavien also said he “had taken care of Rachel's legitimate child [Peter Lavien] from what little he has been able to earn,” while she had, “completely forgotten her duty and let husband and child alone and instead given herself up to whoring with everyone, which things the plantiff are so well known that her own family and friends must hate her for it.”
Even after this merciless allegation, Lavien demanded that Rachel be denied all legal rights to his property. He warned that if he died before her, Rachel, “as a widow would possibly seek to take possession of the estate and there- fore not only acquire what she ought not to have but also take this away from his child and give it to her whore-children.”
Mistakenly, Rachel didn't even try to refute the allegations, or show up to court; which meant on the 25th of June, Lavien recieved a divorce that permitted him to remarry — but on the other hand, Rachel couldn't. To make matters worse, in April 1765; James Sr. got a business assignment located in Christiansted. And brought his family with him to St. Croix, although Lavien was far from there he was still on the island. Even more unfortunately, Rachel was no longer allowed the liberty of calling herself “Mrs. Hamilton”, due to how close the Fort - that she was once imprisoned at - was in the area, Rachel would have had to renter her infamous identity as a notorious woman of misdeeds. As records from this time only title her as correct, or mispronunciated, forms of “Faucette” and “Lavien”.
James would then also adruptly leave and abandon his family, after a victory with the Moir case. His motives or intentions are unknown. Hamilton generously claims his father could no longer support his family, and others claim Rachel's smeared name was likely rubbing off on his own.
-
Anyway, that's the tale of Rachel's many marriages and love lives; I think it unfair judgement to call her such derogatory names when considering everything she was dealing with, and additionally from such a young age. It is clear she committed infidelity while married, and they are not only rumors — but I don't think it's a fair assessment to fault her for such, when she was trapped in an unhappy marriage.
As for people using it against Hamilton; they did. As mentioned previously, Lavien called James Jr and Hamilton “whore-children”, and according to Chernow; journalist nemeses called Hamilton “the son of a camp girl”.
Hope this helped!

Ain’t Always The Cowboy
{ Song Inspiration: Ain’t Always The Cowboy by Jon Pardi }
The group of them had been enjoying the bonfire after the Founder’s Day parade. Laughs and drinks had been shared. The air was full of stories and love amongst the friends.
“Wait wait… Oh what was the name of that big shot bull rider that tried to help scam Whiskey…?” Baylie asked Grace.
“Ugh! Don’t get me started on how much I hate big city people,” Jake exclaimed.
Alana felt all eyes fall on her as Jake ranted on. “Yeah we’re the worst,” she says with a playful tone.
"You're far from being the worst..." Grace starts saying.
"He's just still mad Baylie dumped him to move to a big city," Bradley teases.
Alana looked between the two of them. “You two dated? I never knew.”
“Yeah we were high school sweethearts,” Baylie replies. “But now we’re not.”
“You’ll always be my first love Baylie,” Jake says smiling at her. “Even if you annoy me to death now.”
Once again, Alana looked between the two of them. Baylie was happily engaged to Mickey. Jake was the town's eligible bachelor. Alana couldn't help but wonder what would have been the cause of their breakup. She also wondered why he keeps glaring at her with anger in his eyes.
SEVEN YEARS EARLIER
Jake is driving to the Kazansky ranch after picking up some breakfast for him and Baylie. He brought a cooler full of ice and water to help her dad with some labor on the ranch. When he pulls up, he spots Baylie sitting at her window.
He smiles at just seeing her. They had just graduated high school and would both be starting community college in a few weeks.
Baylie had finished packing all that she needed to pack up. Rachael knocked on her door. “Bay? He just parked. Your dad and I are going to give you both some privacy.”
Everyone in town kept telling Baylie to break things off with Jake before he left her. “Bay… You know the cowboy always rides away. He’s going to leave you. High school sweethearts don’t always last.”
Baylie opens the door and hugs her mom. “I love you mom.”
Tom sends Jake up to Baylie’s room. His green eyes fill with confusion when he sees that her room is packed up. “Bay? What’s going on?”
“I’m not gonna beat around the bush Jake. We’re done.”
It ain't always the cowboy
That ain't got a lot of hang around
Jake nearly drops the coffee and breakfast. “What do you mean we’re done? Baylie we just had a date the other night and we were fine?”
“Well… Things change… people change. Listen Jake, I’m not going to be tied down to be your little wife to be getting knocked up and being barefoot just being a doormat for you. I’m going to Billings. I’m going to med school and becoming a doctor and this little town will never see me again.”
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
Gone's just what they do
“Baylie! You know that’s not how I see you or would treat you!”
“No I don’t. Maybe you turn out exactly like your uncles and father and become the cowboy that leaves me for someone younger…”
Her words felt like a buckshot to his heart. By his silent reaction, she knew she’d hit the mark. She grabs her backpack and puts it on. She then starts stacking a few boxes to take to her car.
“Bring me the boxes over there. It’s the least you can do before we’re really done.”
That restless runnin'
Searchin' for somethin'
He followed her down the stairs and to her car. “Baylie please! We can’t be over! I can go visit you… I can transfer to Billings…”
“Jake! Stop! I don’t love you anymore!” Baylie felt guilty lying but it was the only way he would let her go. After putting the boxes away, she climbs into her Jeep and closes the door before he can reach her.
“Goodbye Jake. Don’t call or text me. We have nothing else to say to each other. You’ll only hold me back.” With that, Baylie puts her car in drive and leaves.
Leavin' love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away
His eyes fill with tears as he watches her drive away. Drive away from him. From her parents. From her home. Driving away with a promise to never return.
PRESENT
“So that’s why I left Mount Deston for Billings,” Baylie says finishing the story.
“I remained angry at her for a few years. But after she came back we had a proper sit down talk about us.”
“We finally realized we both wanted different things from each other in high school and even now. I’ll admit apologizing to Jake for how I ended things helped me a lot. I eventually realized I hurt as much as he had hurt.”
Jake hold his beer up. “Besides she’s too stubborn to actually be my wife.”
Alana can’t help but roll her eyes at him. “I pity the woman you end up marrying if you keep that attitude.”
“Ha! Don’t worry doll it’ll never be you,” he replies to Alana with a wink.
“It’s okay. I’ll survive knowing the one that’s hung up on his high school girlfriend and won’t move on isn’t into me. I’ve been through worse.” Alana senses someone is watching her, and not just those sitting there at the bonfire.
She looks closer to the pier and the water when her eyes fall on him. She doesn’t need to see his face to know it’s him. She knows that body and the way his arms are crossed.
Alana doesn’t even say anything as she puts on her jacket and just leaves the bonfire.

🌹 'Bachelor' Winners: Epic Update! You Won't Believe!
Rachael Kirkconnell: A Rollercoaster Romance 🎢😄
Ah, reality TV love stories – where roses are handed out like candy on Halloween, and emotions flow faster than a water slide at a water park. But let's talk about Rachael Kirkconnell and her whirlwind journey on The Bachelor with Matt "The Confused" James. Cue the dramatic music and grab your popcorn, because this tale is juicier than a watermelon on a summer day.
The Finale That Left Us Scratching Our Heads 🌹🤔
So, there they were, Matt and Rachael, in the grand finale of The Bachelor. The suspense was killing us like a suspenseful TV show usually does. And then, plot twist – Matt decided not to pop the question. Can we get a "what the heck" emoji here? 🤯 The twist was so sharp, even I got a paper cut just watching it through my screen.
Antebellum Party Shenanigans 🎉🏛️
Hold on to your monocles, folks, because here comes the drama train. Rachael had a little party throwback to the good ol' days of antebellum charm. Yeah, you heard that right – a plantation party. Now, I don't know about you, but my idea of a good time isn't dressing up like I'm headed to a Civil War reenactment.
Naturally, photos of this peculiar shindig surfaced faster than a beach ball at a Nickelback concert. The internet erupted, and Rachael found herself in hot water hotter than the tea you forgot on the counter for two days.
The Apology Tour via Instagram 📸🙏
But wait, Rachael had an idea: Instagram apologies! Not just one, but two – because one heartfelt apology just wasn't enough for a plantation-themed party. It's like trying to put out a forest fire with a squirt gun. Nice try, Rachael.
The Heart-to-Heart with Matt and Special Guest 🌹🎙️
So, they all sat down for the big talk – Rachael, Matt, and the special guest star, Emmanuel "The Relationship Judge" Acho. Things got more intense than a game of Monopoly with a sore loser. Rachael's face showed confusion, like when you find out your favorite snack got discontinued.
She spilled, "When he first called me to end things, my initial reaction was I was very confused. I was very blindsided. But once that initial reaction went away, I thought about, you know, how strong I thought our relationship was."
The Rollercoaster Rides Again! 🎢🔄
Just when you thought the rollercoaster was over, it revved up again. They split up but then got back together, like a flip-flopping drama duo. They confirmed their reconciliation in the ultimate "take that, rumors!" fashion – by being spotted together. Seriously, if I had a dime for every time a celebrity confirmed something by simply walking out of a Starbucks together, I'd be a millionaire by now.
Love and Rumors: A Day in the Life 💑📰
In a stunning twist, they revealed they've become so immune to breakup rumors that they treat them like mosquito bites – an annoying itch that eventually fades away. Rachael eloquently put it, "I get it – because we’re together so much so whenever our schedules don’t line up or whenever we have our own things going on, I get where people come from."
And get this, even Matt's own mom has taken up a part-time job as a relationship detective. She's like, "Where's Rachael?" whenever Matt shows up without his other half. Newsflash, mom: people have lives, even if they are on TV!
So, there you have it – the rollercoaster love tale of Rachael and Matt. From antebellum parties to Instagram apologies, this story has more ups and downs than a pogo stick championship. Just remember, folks, if you ever want to navigate the maze of reality TV romance, bring a snack and a good sense of humor. It's gonna be a bumpy ride! 🍿🎢😄# Rachael Kirkconnell: A Rollercoaster Romance 🎢😄

Welcome Home
Mickey "Fanboy" Garcia
Mickey “Fanboy” Garcia. Growing up in Miami, Mickey never would have expected to end up in Montana of all places.
After serving in the Navy with Pete Mitchell, Mickey returned home to Miami. However, the hustle and bustle of the city would get too much for him. While he didn’t experience war as others, the city life got to be too much for him.
It was during one trip to see Pete that Mickey considered and extended his trip in Montana. During his trip he grew close to Pete’s friends, the Kerners, as they opened their home to him. It was then he decided to extend his stay.
After a month, Mickey knew he would one day move to Montana to finally have his peace of mind. Returning home to Miami, he started getting his affairs in order to make the move.
It took him several months, but it all worked out. During that time, he received an email that he had been connected with a second cousin, Alana Metcalf. They started communicating and sharing backstories.
Once Mickey was settled in after the move, he drew even closer to the locals. The Kerner’s, Ron and Jade, became his surrogate parents while in Montana. Soon he meets the most extraordinary woman and falls in love.
The move to Mount Deston was the best he could have done.
Alana "Cinco" Metcalf
If anyone would have ever told Alana that she’d end up moving across the country from Georgia to Montana, she’d have laughed at them. Except that’s her reality now.
At the age of 6, Alana entered foster care after her parents were killed in a home invasion. She had no other family to take her in, as both sets of grandparents were also dead.
The first few years were tolerable in the foster home. It wasn’t until she hit puberty that things changed. The more attention the boys in the neighborhood or school boys were giving her the more chores as punishment her foster father would give her.
While she wouldn’t give in to the attention of the boys, her foster father didn’t care and would continue with the pusnishments. Soon, her foster brother started also joining in on the bullying and punishments.
Immediately upon her high school graduation, Alana left for college. During her 19th birthday, Alana took one of those DNA tests to learn about her family background. She found that she had a second cousin, Mickey Garcia, serving in the Navy.
After attaining her Business Administration Bachelor’s degree, Alana started her undergraduate degree to become a lawyer. As she was halfway done with her undergraduate degree, Alana’s cousin invited her to come live with him and his fiancee in Mount Denton.
So the next day she packs her small car and starts the drive from Georgia to Montana.
Baylie "Lucky" Steele
Born and raised in Mount Denton, Baylie “Lucky” Steele always knew she was destined for bigger things.
From day one, Baylie was always a scrappy little thing. Her family and friends loved her so much for it. Even though she drove her parents crazy, they would do anything for her.
Unfortunately, William and Delilah Steele had been killed in a car accident. Baylie was then adopted by her aunt Rachael.
Rachael was William’s sister and the closest living relative to Baylie. While she missed her parents, Baylie loved her aunt Rachael and Uncle Tom. They raised her as their own.
Eventually, Baylie left Mount Deston to go to medical school in Billings. She worked her ass off for years and graduated.Even got a residency at the local hospital in Billings.
However, It wasn’t a couple years later that Baylie returned to Mount Deston. Upon her arrival, she surprised everyone when she opened a veterinary office with her childhood friend Reuben.
Baylie’s friends and family figured that something must have happened for her to change her degree. She never told anyone what happened in Billings. There was no way they would see her the same agian.
It didn’t stop the rumors from going around. Yet, rumors proved to do nothing to stop love from finding Baylie and showing her she can trust again. A chance encounter with her uncle’s ranch hand changes her future.
Leonard "Wolfman" Wolfe
What a way to head back home from New York, just in time for the new year.
Leonard “Wolfman” Wolfe moves further down the security line at the airport waiting his turn to pass through and be cleared to board.
Two hours later the airport fills with yells of “Happy New Year.” Couples around him are kissing in celebration. All he does is looks down at the folder in his hand with the documents naming him a newly divorced man with sole custody of his 2 year old.
His now ex-wife chose to give up all parental rights of their son. She wanted nothing to do with either of them and the ranch life back in Montana. After receiving the final divorce papers, Wolfe knew there was nothing he could do. He decided he didn’t need to hang around New York anymore.
Soon it’s time to board the plane. Since many are celebrating the new year, the flight is half empty. About an hour into the flight, the pilot comes over the speaker to announce the new year again, as they’re entering the central time zone.
As soon as the pilot counts down from five and the love birds in front of him start kissing, Wolfe downs his whiskey and asks the flight attendant for another drink. He stares longingly at the lonely window seat that was supposed to be hers.
It’s only a few more hours but the flight drags on. Eventually, Wolfe is home and is greeted by Slider and Whiskey waiting for him, along with his son, Greyson.
Finally, he was back home.

As a BW I agree with EVERYTHING anon writes about the double standard that exists for BW.
I really wonder if PK felt the same way when the first black Bachelor Matt James chose Rachael, especially given her past
Me too haha
