General Alfred Duffie
Although he's buried in New York, there's a fine memorial in the Old North Burial Ground in Providence to this Parisian-born, French-trained army officer who made his military mark and career with the US Army.
Duffie's memorial is right next to the Rhode Island memorial to France -- for some a savior of the fledgling republic during the Revolutionary War.
