Alexandre Dumas(1802-1870)

His paternal grandparents were Marie Cessete Dumas (a Haitian slave)
and Marquis Antoine Davy de la Pailleterie. Antoine disapproved of
their son, Thomas-Alexandre, joining the French army under the "Davy de
la Pailleterie" name, so Thomas-Alexandre used his mother's surname
instead. He became a valued general of Napoleon, and after he married
the daughter of a local tavern owner, Thomas-Alexandre had a son of his
own. This son was Alexandre Dumas, who became world-famous as the
author of "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte
Cristo".
