Thomas-Antoine de Mauduit du Plessis

Thomas-Antoine de Mauduit du Plessis or Thomas Duplessis or Thomas-Antoine du Plessis-Mauduit (12 September 1753 – March 1791) was a French officer who fought with the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Born in Brittany, he ran away to sea at age 12 and voyaged in the eastern Mediterranean Sea for a time. Later, he attended a famous French artillery school. He was among a number of volunteers to join the fledgling American army in 1777, especially distinguishing himself for bravery at Germantown and skill at Red Bank. At Valley Forge he helped train American officers in the finer points of tactics and artillery handling.
He defended a key position at Monmouth in the summer of 1778. Receiving permission to resign from the American army at the end of 1778, he later fought with Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau's army. In 1787, he took command of a regiment in Haiti. He resisted the French Revolution, refusing to carry out instructions from the new government. Instead, he carried out a repressive counter-revolutionary program which provoked a revolt. When reinforcements arrived from France in March 1791, the new soldiers immediately took the side of the revolutionary faction. Stirred up, du Plessis' own regiment rioted and his men murdered him.
==Early career==

Du Plessis was born in Hennebont in Brittany on 12 September 1753. Sent to the famous artillery school in Grenoble at a very young age, he ran away to Marseilles when he was 12 years old. Joining a ship's crew as a seaman, he satisfied his thirst for travel by sailing to the Levant, Alexandria, and Constantinople. Eventually he returned to France and his military studies.〔 1356〕
In December 1776, Philippe Charles Tronson de Coudray and a group of French officers left for America on the ''Amphitrite''. The ship was soon forced to turn back to France.〔 888〕 Anxious to get on with their journey, Lieutenant du Plessis and Philippe Hubert Preudhomme de Borre went aboard the ''Mercure''. Du Plessis paid 400 livres for the price of his passage. Carrying a secret cargo of military supplies, the vessel left Saint-Nazaire on 5 February 1777.〔 105-106〕 The ''Mercure'' reached Portsmouth, New Hampshire on 17 March and de Borre arrived at Morristown, New Jersey exactly two months later.〔 Appointed captain of artillery in the Continental Army, du Plessis' commission dated from 15 April 1777. He fought at the Battle of Brandywine on 11 September.〔 444〕
