Thank you for the factual story. I had never heard that about Marquis de Lafayette. My Great grandfather Thomas Smith (Va mullitia) was a life guard of Gen George A. Washington (my 3rd Cousin) during the battle of Yorktown. When I researched this story, I found that a Thomas Fear appeared in court for his pension. I then looked up Thomas Fears and found that he too was a life guard during the battle of Yorktown. He served as the life guard of Marquis de Lafayette. They were in the same unit I believe.

Really neat stuff!
