Rachel Warrington
American woman and mother of Lewis Warrington / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rachel Warrington (January 20, 1753–ca. 1815) was a woman who became embroiled in a scandal, bearing a son, Lewis, probably fathered by Donatien-Marie-Joseph de Vimeur, vicomte de Rochambeau in late eighteenth century Colonial Williamsburg and Yorktown, Virginia.[1] There is an alternate theory that Louis-François-Bertrand du Pont d'Aubevoye de Lauberdière was Lewis's father. Rachel and her sister Camilla had been taken in by their aunt and uncle, Suzannah and Dr. George Riddell; both men lived in the Riddell household during the winter of 1781–1782..
Lewis had a notable career in the US Navy, becoming a commodore and later United States Secretary of the Navy.
