If anyone ever told Burr he didn't love his daughter, it wouldn't have been a big deal. He was described as being aloof.

However...his daughter was the one person he truly loved the most. History showed that.

If you're asking if Hamilton accused Burr of with his daughter, then that's something entirely different (!). The answer to that is NO. In the first few letters exchanged between Burr & Hamilton that led to the duel, Burr speaks of other alleged insults relating to his fitness for public office. If Hamilton ever erted something as profoundly insulting as , undoubtedly Burr would have listed it. What Hamilton said, to almost anyone that would listen, was that Burr was an unscrupulous self-aggrandizing schemer who could not be trusted to act in the best interest of the public.

P.S. As an aside, you should read what the great, cantankerous John Adams said about Hamilton. Holy shnickees!
