Joseph ALSTON, Gov. & BURR, Theodoshia
Posted by: Janice Patricia Buchanan Date: November 20, 1998 at 20:47:26
  of 1206

For those who might be interested.

Theodoshia BURR did marry Gov. Joseph ALSTON.
They had 1 child Aaron Burr ALSTON. Theodoshia was lost at sea on her passage from Charleston to N. Y. Jan 1813. Some say December 1812.
There is also a book out on her called "Theodoshia" written for children. I found it delightful.

Allston, Robert Francis Withers

ALLSTON, Joseph, governor of South Carolina, was born near Charleston in 1778, son of William and Rebecca (Motte) Allston. He was elected to the state legislature, where he served for several years, and was afterwards elected governor, serving from 1812 to 1814. His wife, Theodosia, was the daughter of Aaron Burr, and on that account he was suspected of being a party to Burr's disloyalty, and of aiding him in his scheme for founding an empire in Mexico. He died Sept. 10, 1816.
