Vincent de Rochemore

Vincent Gaspard Pierre de Rochemore (c. 1726–1763) was a French nobleman from Languedoc who entered the military as a career.

Rochemore refused to authorize payment to the Swiss mercenaries serving in the colony, whom Kerlerec had hired as he believed they maintained much-needed discipline.

At one point, the governor had Rochemore's secretary dragged from his bed at three in the morning by a detachment of soldiers, to be removed from the colony by ship.

[5] Kerlerec arranged for Rochemore to be recalled to France to answer charges, along with two other of the governor's political enemies, Antoine Philippe de Marigny and Royal Treasurer Jean Baptiste d'Estrehan.

His younger son, Louis, died in battle in 1778 while commanding one of the ships in the fleet of Admiral de Suffren.
