In the end, Peggy found her own happiness in 1783, having married herself and having three children.
However, 16 years later, she suddenly fell ill and her condition worsened in the following year at winter. Alexander happened to be in Albany for work when she felt sick and he often stayed at her side.
She appreciated the company, and that he was keeping her sister posted on developments.
And when he finished his work, he complied to her wish that he stays for a few days.
It eventually came to an end when Eliza got the 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.'
She was originally to be buried in her husband's family estate but she was reinterred.
No matter. She would still be remembered.
