Theodosia Burr Alston

Theodosia Burr Alston was the daughter of United States Vice President Aaron Burr. (The same Aaron Burr who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel.) Theodosia was a rarity of her time as Aaron Burr made sure to classically educate her. After taking a trip to Europe, she returned on The Patriot, a ship used during the War of 1812, but it disappeared and was never found again. Some believe it was attacked by pirates, and she was forced to walk the plank.
