Laff, Laur, and Ham were known as “the gay trio.”
A fitting name if you ask me

On October 1st, 1795, George Washington Lafayette (Laff’s son) randomly showed up in NYC with only a tutor
He ended up living with the Hamiltons
There was a poem that read, “Oh Burr, Oh Burr, what hast thou done?/Thou hast shooted dead the great Hamilton/You hid behind a bunch of thistle/and shooted him dead with a great hoss pistol.”
