You're confusing the Marquise d'Lafayette, who was a friend of Washington and great aid to the cause of American independence with the Louisiana pirate Jean Lafitte, who aided General Andrew Jackson in the defense of New Orleans in 1814.

You are correct, I did get them confused. I always had a soft spot for Jean. Thank you for educating me on that. I'm series. ;-)
