Esther Edwards Burr (February 13, 1732 – April 7, 1758) was the mother of 3rd U.S. Vice President Aaron Burr, Jr. and the wife of Princeton University President Aaron Burr, Sr. whom she married in 1752, one year after she moved to Stockbridge in western Massachusetts. From October 1754 she kept a journal recording her perspective on current events and her daily activities. Esther Burr's journal is considered an important source in studies of American history and literature for its insight into a woman's daily life in the late colonial period of the United States, although it was not until 1984 that her journal was published in its entirety to the public.
