Alexandre-Marie Quesnay de Beaurepaire (1755–1820[1]) was the grandson of French philosopher and economist, François Quesnay, and was among the idealistic French contingency who joined in the American struggle for independence during the late 18th century.[2]

De Beaurepaire is best known for occupying several positions: a captain in the Royal Guards of Louis XVI, French captain (with residence in Virginia) in the American Revolutionary War Army (April 1777 – 1778) and co-patron, alongside Thomas Jefferson, of the short-lived first United States Academy of Science & Arts in Richmond, Virginia.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
