[6] In June 1783, Peggy married Stephen Van Rensselaer III (1764–1839), a distant cousin, who was 19 at the time; she was almost 25 when they eloped.

Some friends and family argued that Van Rensselaer was "far too young" to be married, but most agreed that the marriage to Peggy would help further his career.

When Hamilton finished his court work, Peggy asked him to stay for a few days, and he complied with her wishes.

In mid-March, Hamilton had to send Eliza a somber note: ‘On Saturday, my dear Eliza, your sister took leave of her sufferings and friends, I trust, to find repose and happiness in a better country.’"[4] She was originally buried in the family plot at the Van Rensselaer estate, and later reinterred at Albany Rural Cemetery.
