Suzanne le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau

[3] The writer and academician Jean d'Ormesson is descended from Suzanne le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau.

Her uncles brought their concerns to the French legislature and asked the state to fulfill its role as her father and stop le Peletier from denationalizing herself by marrying a Dutchman.

The public debated upon the powers of national adoption and the defining factors of family and state relations.

[1] Le Peletier and De Witt got married and shortly thereafter, on March 22, 1802, were granted a divorce by the justice of the peace.

[1] In 1804, she is engaged to her cousin Léon Le Peletier de Mortefontaine so Jacques-Louis David paints her portrait.
