Who was Alexander Hamilton's real father?

Rachel Faucette was born on the island of Nevis about 1729. At the age of 15 or 16 she and her mother moved to the island of St. Croix. A year later it is thought that her mother pushed Rachel into a marriage with much older man, John Lavien. It was not a happy marriage and after the birth of a child she decided she could no longer live with him and left. At that, Lavien had her jailed for not behaving like a wife. When released several months later, he thought she would come home. Rachel had other ideas. She returned to the Nevis / St. Kitts islands in 1750 where she later met James Hamilton. She lived with him to him for about 13 years and that relationship produced two children, James and Alexander. There is no record of their marriage but on one occasion when they acted as godparents where they represented themselves as James and Rachel Hamilton. In 1759, perhaps unbeknownst to Rachel, Lavien obtained a divorce from Rachel. This divorce permitted John to marry again but Rachel was never allowed to remarry. In 1765, James Hamilton needed to go to St. Croix for an extended business trip and took Rachel and their two sons. Once on St. Croix, something happened between Rachel and James and they split. Some think that the news of the divorce in 1759 finally reached Rachel and James and that was the source of the problem. A a single mother now, Rachel needing to support herself, set up a store where her son Alex got his first taste of business. However, in early 1768 Rachel came down with fever and dies on February 19, 1768.History has been lukewarm in their treatment of Rachel. Some have reviewed the facts known about her life and concluded she was unfaithful and loose. But a closer examination to the details points to a less sensational understanding of her behavior. In the end , the impact of her legacy Alexander Hamilton, suggests she must have done a pretty good job in her role as a nurturer and parent during the developmental years of one great American.
