WEEHAWKEN, N.J. - The bitter grudge between their ancestors has long faded, 
but descendants of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr are squaring off again 
Sunday with pistols in hand.


Douglas Hamilton, a fifth-great-grandson of Hamilton, and Antonio Burr, a 
descendant of Burr's cousin, were set to re-enact the July 11, 1804 duel 
that left Hamilton mortally wounded and a sitting vice president's 
reputation sullied.


More than 1,000 people were expected to attend the re-enactment near the 
Hudson River, about a quarter-mile west of the actual duel site, which no 
longer exists. Sixty descendants of Hamilton are to attend, as are 40 
members of the Aaron Burr Association.
