Victor Marie du Pont

Victor Marie du Pont de Nemours (October 1, 1767 – January 30, 1827) was a French American diplomat, politician, and businessman.

He was the son of Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours and Nicole Charlotte Marie Louise le Dée.

Returning to Paris in 1793, he married and soon went back to the United States, this time as French Consul at Charleston, South Carolina.

For the next two years, du Pont assisted his father by preparing his entire family to immigrate to the United States.

In 1811, he moved with his family to Delaware and established residence at Louviers on the Brandywine Creek, across from the Eleutherian Mills of his brother.
