High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Jean Baptiste Joseph, chevalier de Laumoy (1750-1832) French engineer, fought in the American Revolutionary War, and was on the staff of Lafayette and was captured with him, by the Austrians. De Laumoy was the son of a French infantry captain. He entered the French military engineering school in 1760. He was assigned to America in 1777. On 17 November Laumoy was commissioned Colonel of Engineers; he joined Washington's winter camp at Valley Forge. The French engineers, de Laumoy, La Radiere, and Du Portail, provided knowledge of European fortifications and siege warfare. Laumoy was deployed to the southern operations area on 8 February 1779; he advised Benjamin Lincoln at Charleston to surrender given the inadequate fortifications; he was taken prisoner at the Siege of Charleston (12 May 1780); he was exchanged on 26 November 1782. Laumoy was breveted Brigadier General on 30 September 1783, and honorably discharged from the US Army the following month. He returned to France in December 1783. On 4 July 1784 he was awarded the Order of Saint Louis, a distinction his father had also received.
