Servant-Paul Le Saige de Villebrune

I represent Servant-Paul Le Saige de Villebrune. I was a captain in the French army, Agénois Regiment. The Agénois was part of the French forces allied with General Bernardo de Gálvez at the siege of Pensacola, and I was there. I was born in 1747 near Saint Malo. I entered the service in 1762. I fought at Pensacola and Yorktown, and was killed in 1782 at the siege of Fort St. Christopher. After the surrender of Pensacola, General Gálvez submitted a letter specially commending 31 officers and cadets, and I was among them.
