Despite financial setbacks, Burr lived out the remainder of his life in New York in relative peace, until 1833, when his second marriage failed after four months, soon followed by medical difficulties.

On July 1, 1833, at age 77, Burr married Eliza Jumel, a wealthy widow who was 19 years younger.
They lived together briefly at her residence which she had acquired with her first husband, the Morris-Jumel Mansion in the Washington Heights neighborhood in Manhattan.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is now preserved and open to the public.

Soon after the marriage, she realized her fortune was dwindling due to Burr's land speculation losses.
She separated from Burr after four months of marriage.
For her divorce lawyer, she chose Alexander Hamilton Jr., and the divorce was officially completed on September 14, 1836, coincidentally the day of Burr's death.

Burr suffered a debilitating stroke in 1834, which rendered him immobile.
In 1836, Burr died on Staten Island in the village of Port Richmond, in a boardinghouse that later became known as the St. James Hotel.
He was buried near his father in Princeton, New Jersey.
