Jefferson's daughter Martha attended school in Paris at this convent school run by the abbess, Madame Béthisy de Mézières. Martha was joined at the school by her sister Mary in 1787. Angelica Church's daughter Catherine was, at times, a classmate of the Jefferson daughters. Shown here are copies of the only eighteenth century engravings of the school from Oeuvres d'architecture de Pierre Contant d'Irvy and reprinted in the Papers of Thomas Jefferson. Also shown is a hand written list by Martha Jefferson of her classmates at the abbey. The asterisks note those that she knew best. Catherine is not on this particular list. |
