Birth and early childhood
On January 22, 1782, Philip Hamilton was born in Albany, New York. Alexander Hamilton, his father, was the first United States Secretary of the Treasury and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton Hamilton, Hamilton's mother, was the niece of Philip Schuyler, for whom he was named.
Philip's birth, according to Alexander Hamilton, was "attended with all the omens of future greatness" and "continued to have high hopes and aspirations for his firstborn's destiny.
Education
Philip was sent to attend a boarding school in Trenton, New Jersey, later in 1791, at the age of nine, studying with William Frazer, an Episcopal priest and rector of St. Michael's Church. His father purged Philadelphia in early December: he wrote encouragingly from Philadelphia.
Alexander Jr., his younger brother, who was eight years old at the time, joined him at the boarding school in 1794.
Philip took up Columbia College, where his knowledge and enthusiasm were comparable to that of his father, who was also a well-known alumnus. Robert Troup, a family friend who had been Alexander Hamilton's college roommate, wrote that Philip "was very promising in innovation and acquisitions," and Hamilton had a high hope for his future success." "Assuming Hamilton's insistence that Philip was destined for greatness, Troup wrote privately, "alas Philip is a sad rake and I have serious doubts that he will ever be a servant or a republic."
In 1800, Philip graduated from Columbia College with honors and went on to study law. His father advocated rigorous study habits, starting every day from 6 o'clock in September and not later than 7 o'clock for the remainder of the year, but after that, "he is not dressed in the morning until nine o'clock (the time for breakfast has been excluded).
