Angelica Schuyler

Angelica Schuyler Church is a fascinating personality with an interesting family history. She is the eldest daughter of Continental Army General Philip Schuyler and Catharine Van Rensselaer Schuyler. She was married to a British MP John Barker Church. During the Revolutionary War, Church made a fortune supplying the American and French armies. How he was able to do this as a British Member of Parliament [MP] is not clear. One would suspect that he was not very welcome in his home country. Angelica’s sister Elizabeth was married to Alexander Hamilton.
