<P> After a short honeymoon at the Pastures, Eliza's childhood home, Hamilton returned to military service in early January 1781 . Eliza soon joined him at New Windsor, where Washington's army was now stationed, and she rekindled her friendship with Martha Washington as they entertained their husbands' fellow officers . Soon, however, Washington and Hamilton had a falling - out, and the newlywed couple relocated first back to Eliza's father's house in Albany, then to a new home across the river from the New Windsor headquarters . There Eliza busied herself in creating a home for them and in aiding Alexander with his political writings--parts of his thirty - one - page letter to Robert Morris, laying out much of the financial knowledge that was to aid him later in his career, are written in her handwriting . </P> <P> Soon, however, Eliza would relocate again, this time back to her parents' house in Albany . This possibly coincided with the discovery that she was pregnant with her first child, who would be born the next January and named Philip, for her father . While apart, Alexander wrote her numerous letters telling her not to worry for his safety; in addition, he wrote her concerning confidential military secrets, including the lead - up to the Battle of Yorktown that autumn . Meanwhile, the war would come much too close to home, after British soldiers attempted to raid the Pastures, where Eliza along with Angelica and the rest of her family were living . They were however spared from any harm, thanks to her sister Peggy's quick thinking . </P> <P> After Yorktown, Alexander was able to rejoin Eliza in Albany, where they would remain for almost another two years, before moving to New York City in late 1783 . Earlier that year, Angelica and her husband John Barker Church, for business reasons, had moved to Europe . Angelica lived abroad for over fourteen years, returning to America for visits in 1785 and 1789 . On September 25, 1784, Eliza gave birth to her second child, Angelica, named after Eliza's older sister . </P> <P> In 1787, Eliza sat for a portrait, executed by the painter Ralph Earl while he was being held in debtors' prison . Alexander had heard of Earl's predicament and asked if Eliza might be willing to sit for him, to allow him to make some money and eventually buy his way out of prison, which he subsequently did . At this time, she now had three young children (her third, Alexander, was born in May 1786) and may have been pregnant at the time with her fourth, James Alexander, who would be born the following April . </P>
