[edit] Charles DePauw (moved from article)

Salut --

DePauw did not come with Lafayette but rather was a hussar in Lauzun's Legion who arrived in Newport Rhode Island in July 1780.

Charles DEPAUW was born in Gand in Flanders and enlisted at the age of 24 on 15 July 1779. He deserted from his unit on 30 May 1782 while the Legion was quartered in Charlotte Court House in Virginia.

This information is based on data contained in file Colonies D2c32, "Volontaires étrangers de Lauzun, 1780-1783," in the Archives Nationales de France in Paris, France. Colonies D2c32 contains the "controles" (i.e., enlistment records), inspection reports, requests for promotions, rewards, and other administrative materials pertaining to Lauzun's Legion.
