The Marquis de Lafayette had four children with his wife Marie Adrienne Francioise de Noailles:- daughter Henrietta (born 15 Dec 1775, died 3 Oct 1777) - daughter Anastasia (born 1 July 1777, died 23 Feb 1863)- son George-Washington Louis Gilbert (born 29 Dec 1779, died 30 Dec 1849)- daughter Virginia (born 1782, died 1849)
George-Washington de Lafayette was the godson of George Washington; he was sent for his own protection to stay with his godfather in the US in 1792 when death warrants were signed for him, his mother, and many of the members of the de Noailles family -- his mother was spared due to the efforts of James Madison, but his grandmother, aunt, and several other relatives were guillotined. He made another visit to the US when he accompanied his father on a tour of the country in 1824, and when his father died, George placed earth brought from Bunker Hill in his father's grave in Picpus Cemetery in Paris.
Oscar Thomas de Lafayette (1815-1881) is erroneously identified on some web sites as also being a son of the Marquis de Lafayette; in fact, Oscar was the grandson of the Marquis, being the son of George-Washington de Lafayette.
