Rebecca Armstrong de Rosenthal Irvine was born in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, daughter of General William Irvine. While visiting her father's brother, Dr Matthew Irvine, in Charleston in 1810, she met and married Peter Simons Fayssoux, son of Dr Peter Fayssoux, the surgeon general of South Caroina during the Revolution. They settled on a plantation in Chester District, but he did not like farming ad they moved t her hometown in Pennsylvania, where he became the military storekeeper. Peter died in Carlisle at age 40, leaving Rebecca with 14 children.
***********************
Rebecca Fayssoux's middle name DeRosenthal is in honor of Gustavus Heinrich de Rosenthal, aka "John Rose".
Brig. General Wm Irvine was able to save De Rosenthal from the horrible conditions of British prisoners-of-war crowded into ships in NY harbor, where death was almost assured. Thus, De Rosenthal was devoted to Irvine, and served with him in several capacities. Irvine helped him acquire a land grant in America.
Under Irvine, serving as a sort of aide-de-camp, De Rosenthal performed well on the disastrous Crawford Expedition, and made a full report to Irvine, as tasked.
(De Rosenthal was an Estonian, who in St. Petersburg killed a man in a duel. Duels had been outlawed. He escaped to America, under the name John Rose. After his American adventures, he returned to the area of his estate in Estonia, and settled there.From Estonia, De Rosenthal sent several beseeching letters to Irvine, inquiring about his property, but there is no evidence Irvine ever replied.).
Giving the De Rosenthal name to Rebecca does show Irvine had warm feelings for him.
This could be shortened to the first paragraph only. I have not torn apart my garage for citations.

There are not thought to be descendants of this De Rosenthal in America.
