Thomas Pichon (30 March 1700 22 November 1781), also known as Thomas Tyrell, was a French government agent during Father Le Loutre's War. Pichon left behind a very large collection of documents. Never a master of the English language, in 1769 he moved to Saint Helier, Jersey (a remnant of the Norman conquest where French was spoken), in which place he died on 22 November 1781. Pichon retreated to London in 1757, where he entered on an affair with the French novelist Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, whose marriage had been annulled. During Father Le Loutre's War, Pichon entered the service of secretary for Jean-Louis de Raymond, latterly reputed to be a place-seeker, who had been appointed Governor at the Fortress of Louisbourg and Île-Royale (New France) in 1751.
