Michel Bégon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michel Bégon de la Picardière, (21 March 1667 – 18 January 1747), was from a French family with a history of service to the King of France in fiscal and judicial matters. A marriage by a member of the Bégon family to Jean-Baptiste Colbert moved them into the occupations of maritime and colonial administrators.
Bégon served as the intendant of New France from 1712-1726 and was replaced by Claude-Thomas Dupuy.
