elizabeth kortright monroe

Elizabeth Kortright Monroe (1768 - September 23 1830) was the wife of US President James Monroe. Descended from an old New York family with Dutch roots, she married the 28-year-old Monroe, then a lawyer, when she was a beautiful girl of 17. Later, while Monroe was posted as envoy to the Court of Versailles in the midst of the French Revolution, she intervened with authorities to gain the release of Madame LaFayette, wife of the Marquis de Lafayette. The wedding of their daughter, Maria Hester Monroe and Samuel L. Gouverneur, was the first to be held in the White House.
