LOUISE MARIE ADELAIDE EUGèNIE D'ORLéANS

'Louise Marie Adelaide Eugènie d'Orléans' (August 23, 1777 - December 31, 1847) was the daughter of Louis Philip II, Duke of Orléans, and the sister of King Louis-Philippe of France.
Born in Paris. She moved to the United States in 1801.
She married George Casper von Schroeppel, a Prussian-born tea merchant who was a naturalized American citizen and lived in New York City; they had four children:

★ ''George Casper'', drowned at the age of 12 in Morristown, New York;

★ ''Louis Henry William'', died in a mysterious fall from the second floor balcony in Schroeppel's family mansion, the cause of which was never determined;

★ ''Marie Eugenie'', married John Hinman, a mayor of Utica, New York;

★ ''Marie Antoinette'', married Dr. Pennell, a physician from New York City.
In 1814, when her brother Louis-Philippe returned to France to later become King, she left her family and returned to live in his household. Now known as ' Madame Adelaide', she became his loyal advisor (or in 19th century parlance, his "Egeria"). She died two months before the overthrow of Louis-Philippe's reign.
