From the Wikipedia article

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. 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 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.
