Thomas MacDonough
Thomas Macdonough, Jr. was an early 19th century Irish American naval officer known for his role in the First Barbary War and the War of 1812. He was the son of a revolutionary officer, Thomas Macdonough, Sr. near Middletown, Delaware. He was the sixth child in a family of ten and grew up in the countryside. He joined the marine life at a very young age, assuming the duties of platoon leader at the age of sixteen. Serving with Stephen Decatur in Tripoli, he was a member of the "Preble's Boys", a select group of US naval officers who served under the command of Commodore Preble during the First Barbary War. Macdonough gained fame during the War of 1812, commanding the American naval forces to defeat the British navy at the Battle of Lake Champlain, part of the greater Battle of Plattsburgh, which led to that war's end.
