As the daughter of super controversial and eventual Vice President Aaron Burr, Theodosia grew up surrounded by chaos and scandal. So does it come as any surprise that her own story would end up being surrounded in mystery? In December of 1812, Theodosia got on a ship sailing out from North Carolina to visit her father in New York...and was never seen again. What happened to Theodosia?! Where did she go?! There are endless rumors and theories as to what happened to this deeply beloved woman.
