The Marquis de Lafayette recently dropped in to meet with the members of the Williamsburg chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. Actually, it was Colonial Williamsburg Foundation interpreter Mark Schneider, who has been hired to play Lafayette in the fourth season of “Turn,” the Netflix series about Gen.
