Just a point of no particular significance here, but which I offer to show some personal understanding of this, my Great-Great-Great Grandfather Perre Daspit de St. Amand, served with Jean Lafitte, who was granted Letters of Marque and Reprisal. And we're quite proud of him in my family.
oops, typo. That's "Pierre" Daspit de St. Amand.
Actually, I find that worthy of a "Very Cool" label. ;-)
