Editing Aaron Burr (section)

===Adopted and acknowledged children===
Burr adopted two sons, [[Aaron Columbus Burr]] and Charles Burdett, during the 1810s and 1820s after the death of his daughter Theodosia. Aaron ([[Name change|born]] Aaron Burr Columbe) was born in Paris in 1808 and arrived in America around 1815, and Charles was born in 1814.{{sfn|Isenberg|2007|p=397}}{{sfn|Lomask|1982|pp=387–388}}{{sfn|Schachner|1961|p=513}} Both of the boys were reputed to be Burr's biological sons. A Burr biographer described Aaron Columbus Burr as "the product of a Paris adventure", conceived presumably during Burr's exile from the United States between 1808 and 1814.{{sfn|Schachner|1961|p=513}}

In 1835, the year before his death, Burr acknowledged two young daughters whom he had fathered late in his life, by different mothers. Burr made specific provisions for his surviving daughters in a [[will and testament|will]] dated January 11, 1835, in which he left "all the rest and residue" of his estate, after other specific bequests, to six-year-old Frances Ann (born {{circa|1829}}), and two-year-old Elizabeth (born {{circa|1833}}).{{sfnm|Oppenheimer|2015|1pp=165–169|Stillwell|1928|2p=66}}
