About Élisabeth Bégon
Élisabeth Bégon née Marie-Isabelle-Élisabeth Rocbert de la Morandière, was a French-Canadian letter writer. She is known for the correspondence she wrote to her widowed son-in-law Honoré-Gabriel Michel de Villebois de La Rouvillière (1702-1752) between 1748 and 1753. The first of her extant letters describe the daily life of an elite colonial laywoman in New France between 1748 and 1749, when Bégon left Canada and settled in Rochefort. She continued to write to Michel from France, and her last known letters were written after their intended recipient's death in New Orleans as news was slow to reach her.
