Peggy Schuyler

Peggy Schuyler's first appearance is with her sisters, Elizabeth Schuyler and Angelica Schuyler, in the song "The Schuyler Sisters" as they sing of the Revolution; and Angelica sings in hope that women gain more equal rights. Peggy is portrayed as a rule-follower, always doubting whether the sisters should be out in the excitement while they were supposed to be at home at their father's instruction. Later on, she is seen hugging her sisters and Hamilton following Eliza's engagement to him. Hamilton also mentions that Peggy has begun to confide in him.
Years later, however, Peggy Schuyler passes away at a young age due to an illness, and as such makes no appearance in Act Two. She married Stephen Van Rensselaer III, therefore making her full name Margarita Schuyler Van Rensselaer.
