Despite financial setbacks, Burr lived out the remainder of his life in New York in relative peace until 1833.{{sfn|Isenberg|2007|pp=396–397}} On July 1 of that year, at age 77, he married [[Eliza Jumel]], a wealthy widow who was nineteen years his junior. They lived together briefly at her residence which she had acquired with her first husband, the [[Morris–Jumel Mansion|Morris-Jumel Mansion]] in the [[Washington Heights, Manhattan|Washington Heights]] neighborhood of [[Manhattan]].{{sfn|Oppenheimer|2015|pp=165–169}} Listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]], it is now preserved and open to the public.{{sfn|Ward|2000|p=39}}

Soon after the marriage, Jumel realized her fortune was dwindling due to Burr's [[land speculation]] losses,{{sfn|Brown|1901|pp=3–4}} and separated from him after four months of marriage. The apocryphal story is that she chose [[Alexander Hamilton Jr.]]{{sfn|Beyer|2017|p=163}} as her divorce lawyer in 1834, the same year Burr suffered an immobilizing [[stroke]].{{sfn|Chernow|2004|p=726}}
