Dad wrote down some Guillory information showing Mom how
they were related on the Guillory side but it wasn’t close. I have a good friend in Avoyelles Parish and
we wondered about that too because her Mom is a Guillory. I guess we are because it looks like one Guillory
came here. I don’t know how accurate
this is but here we go: Simon Guillory was born in Blois, France. He went to Quebec. His son, Francois, was born there. Francois went down to Mobile and his son,
Joseph Gregoire, was born near Mobile. Joseph
then went to Louisiana after the British took over the Mobile area. We’re from two of his sons, Jean Baptist
Guillory (He went to Avoyelles) and Jean Louis Guillory (He went to Grand
Prairie).

I wonder if Arcade Guillory was named that because Emelie
Pitre was an Acadian. Maybe it was just
a popular name at the time. I also
wonder why Landreneau kept the “eau” in their name and Fontenot didn’t.
