Jehan Guiot of Dijon, France,
a laborer, and another Jehan Guiot, from Riviere d'Aulray, France, a
"master valler," came to Acadia aboard the St.-Jehan in 1636--the same
ship that brought early colonists Pierre
Martin and
Guillaume
Trahan. Evidently the
Jehans did not remain in the colony, or they may have died there before creating
families of their own.
.
Interestingly, the famous Canadian
explorer Louis Jolliet's stepfather was a Guillot. Louis's father,
wheelwright Jean Jolyet, died at Québec in April 1651, when Louis was
only five and a half. Louis's mother, Marie d'Abancourt, remarried
to Gefroy Guillot, who drowned in the St. Lawrence in the summer of 1655.
.
Marie Guillot married Jean Moisan
on Newfoundland in c1690. She died on Newfoundland a few years later.
~
Pierre, son of Sr. Jean Guiot
or Guyot, was born at Bayonne, France, in c1677. In 1709, he was a habitant,
fisherman, and cabaretier at Plaisance, Newfoundland. He married
Marie-Françoise, daughter of Pierre Baudry, at Plaisance in April 1790
and died at St.-Esprit, Île Royale, in November 1744, age 67. He
and his wife had 11 children, seven sons and four daughters. His oldest daughter
married into the Horquellard family at St.-Esprit, but the spouses of his
other children are lost to history. None of Pierre's descendants
emigrated to Louisiana.
~
Brothers Henri, born
in c1693, and René Guillot dit L'Angevin, born in c1695, reached
Acadia from Doix, France, in the late 1710s, soon after the colony had fallen
under British control. They settled at Minas
and then moved to Cobeguit. Descendants of the younger brother
emigrated to Louisiana from France in 1785.
Henri, whose wife's name is lost to history, fathered two
children, son René le jeune, born in c1722, and
daughter Marie-Josèphe, born in c1723. According to Bona Arsenault, René le jeune fathered at least one child, daughter Marie-Rose,
born in c1751, but Arsenault . In c1750, Henri and his daughter moved to
French-controlled Île St.-Jean, today's Prince Edward Island. In August 1752, a
French official counted Henri,
who he called Herné, age 59, with daughter Marie-Josèphe, age 29, and the
family of nephew Jean-Baptiste Guillot, at Pointe-Prime on the
island's southern coast. Henri's line of the family, except for its blood,
probably ended with his passing sometime later in the decade.
Henri's brother René dit
L'Angevin married Marguerite Doiron
probably at Minas in c1719. They, too, moved to Cobeguit. They had
at least four children, three sons and a daughter, who created families of their
own. All three of René dit L'Angevin's sons followed their widowered uncle to Île St.-Jean
in c1750. His daughter Marie-Josèphe married into the Breau
family at Cobeguit and emigrated to Louisiana from France.
Oldest son Jean-Baptiste, born at
Grand-Pré in
December 1720, married Marie-Madeleine Arcement
of L'Assomption, Pigiguit, in c1745 and settled there. They had at least three children,
a son and two daugters, between 1746 and 1752. They moved on to Île
St.-Jean in c1750. In August 1752, Jean-Baptiste was a
widower living at Pointe-Prime on the island's southeastern shore with his three
children. Also with them were his uncle and a female cousin.
Jean-Baptiste remarried to Marguerite,
daughter of Louis Bourg and Cécile Michel, on Île St.-Jean in c1754.
Between 1755 and 1757, Marguerite gave Jean-Baptiste three more children, two
sons and a daughter. The British deported the family to St.-Malo, France,
in late 1758. Jean-Baptiste, one of his daughters from his first wife, and
all of his children by his second wife died at sea. Marguerite and her two
surviving stepchildren settled in the St.-Malo suburb of Pleudihen. Her
stepson Charles-Olivier married into the Boudrot family at
nearby Trigavou in November 1766 and emigrated to Louisiana in 1785.
Ambroise, born probably at Cobeguit in
c1728, followed his kin to Île St.-Jean in c1750 and married
Théotiste, daughter of François Daigre and Marie Boudrot
of Pigiguit, on the island
in February 1751. In August 1752, Ambroise and Théotiste were living at Pointe-au-Boulleau on the
island's southeastern shore with infant
daughter Marguerite-Blanche. Between 1752 and 1757, Théotiste gave
Ambroise five children, a daughter and four sons. The British deported the
family to St.-Malo, France, in late 1758; their four younger children died at
sea. They settled in the St.-Malo suburb of Trigavou, where Théotiste gave
Ambroise six more children, two daughters and four sons. One of their sons
emigrated to Louisiana in 1785.
Youngest son René, fils, born
probably at Cobeguit in c1731, followed his uncle and brothers to Île St.-Jean
and married Marie-Rose, another daughter of François Daigre and Marie
Boudrot, on the
island in February 1751. In August 1752, René, fils, and Marie-Rose
were living at
Pointe-Prime near his uncle and oldest brother. In 1755 and 1758,
Marie-Rose gave René, fils two children, both sons. The British
deported the family to St.-Malo, France, in late 1758. The two children
died at sea, and wife Marie-Rose died in a St.-Malo soon after arrival from the
rigors of the crossing. René, fils remarried to Françoise, daughter
of François Bourg and Madeleine Hébert and widow of Joseph Naquin, at
nearby St.-Suliac in August 1760. Between 1761 and 1773, Françoise gave
René, fils eight more children, four sons and four daughters. A
son and a daughter emigrated to Louisiana in 1785.
[For more of this family in
pre- and post-disperal Acadia and Canada, see
Book Three]
By 1755, descendants of René Guillot
dit L'Angevin no longer lived in British Nova Scotia. They could
be found, instead, in at least two communities on Île St.-Jean.
~
Mainurin Guillot
of Madrignac, Bishopric of St.-Brieux, France, a domestic, age 17, was
counted with the family of fisherman Pierre Cezard Alexandre LeGrand of
Plaisance, Newfoundland, on the Great Harbor of the Île of Scatary, off
Île Royale, in 1752.

LOUISIANA: LAFOURCHE VALLEY
SETTLEMENTS
The Guillots who left France
in 1785 sailed to Louisiana aboard three of the Seven Ships. After a brief
respite in New Orleans, all of them chose to go to upper Bayou
Lafourche:
Françoise-Gertrude Guillot, age 19,
crossed on La Bergère, the second of the Seven Ships,
which reached New Orleans in August. An older brother may have crossed
with her. She married fellow Acadian Félix Boudreaux, who may have
been a widower, at Lafourche in October 1786, and remarried to Paul-Hippolyte, son of fellow Acadian Joseph Thériot,
at Lafourche in May 1787. Paul was a native of nearby St.-Jacques, his
parents having come to the colony 20 years earlier. Sometime in the late
colonial period, Françoise followed
Paul to the Attakapas District, west of the Atchafalaya Basin.
Pierre Guillot, who
would have been age 20 in 1785, cannot be found on any of the passenger
lists of the Seven Ships expedition, but reliable sources place him in France in
the 1770s. He appears in the Valenzuéla census of 1788 on upper Bayou
Lafourche, so he probably came to Louisiana from France in 1785 with his
kinfolks. He may have crossed on La Bergère with his younger
sister Françoise-Gertrude. He remained on the upper Lafourche.
.
Charles-Olivier Guillot, age 38,
wife Marie-Josèphe Boudrot, age
40, and three children--Jean-Michel, age 14, Simon-François, age 12, and
Élisabeth-Madeleine, age 10--crossed on Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the
Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in September. Charles-Olivier and Marie-Josèphe had no more children in
Louisiana. Élisabeth-Madeleine married Ambroise-Mathurin, son of fellow Acadian
Jean-Baptiste Hébert,
at Assumption in November 1796; Ambroise-Mathurin
also had come to Louisiana from France aboard Le St.-Rémi.
Jean-Michel and Simon-François also married and settled on the bayou.
.
Charles-Olivier's aunt, Marie-Josèphe Guillot,
age 62,
husband Alexis Breau, age 61, their daughter Marguerite Breau, age
20, Alexis's cousin Jean-Charles Gautrot, age 22, and Marie-Josèphe's
nephew Fabien-Amateur Guillot, age 20, crossed on L'Amitié, the fifth of the Seven Ships,
which reached New Orleans in November. Fabien-Amateur
married and settled on the upper bayou.
.
The Guillots from France
created a center of family settlement on upper Bayou Lafourche:
Descendants of Fabien-Amateur
GUILLOT (1763-1834; René dit L'Angevin)
Fabien-Amateur, son of Ambroise Guillot
and Théotiste Daigle, was born at Trigavou, France, near St.-Malo, in
November 1763. He came to Louisiana aboard L'Amitié, the fifth of
the Seven Ships from France, in 1785, with a paternal aunt, an
uncle-in-law, and two cousins, and followed them to upper Bayou Lafourche, where he married
Anne-Josèphe, daughter of
fellow Acadians Prosper-Honoré Giroir and Marie Dugas, in February 1786 and re-validated the marriage at Assumption in September
1797. Anne had come to Louisiana aboard La Bergère, the second of
the Seven Ships. They settled on the upper bayou. Fabien died in Assumption Parish in October 1834,

Assumption Parish in November 1853, age 44.
During the War of 1861-65,
Zéphirin
served in Company H of the 29th Regiment Louisiana Infantry, raised in Assumption Parish,

Youngest son Arselin Sébastien,
by his second wife, born

Other GUILLOTs in the Lafourche/Terrebonne
Valley
Area church and civil records make it
difficult to link some Guillots in the Bayou Lafourche/Bayou
Terrebonne valley with known Acadian lines of the family there. One
suspects that some of the Guillots who lived in Lafourche valley during
the post-war period were Afro Creoles once owned by Acadian Guillots:
Julian Guillot
died in Lafourche Interior Parish in August 1821, and his succession was
filed at the Thibodauxville courthouse the day after he passed. The
parish clerk who recorded the succession did not give Julian's age, his
parents' names, or mention a wife.
Aimé Guillot
married Pauline Batat, place unrecorded, probably in the 1820s.
Daughter Ambroisine Théodosia died in Lafourche Interior Parish at age 5
months in August 1829.
Marcel Guillot
married Marie Malbrough, place and date unrecorded.
Their child, name and age unrecorded, died in Lafourche Interior Parish in
January 1844.
Pierre Guillot
married Pauline Porche, place and date unrecorded.
Son Pierre Gratien was born near Paincourtville, Assumption
Parish, in May 1848.
Evariste Guillot died in
Assumption Parish in September 1853. The Plattenville priest who recorded
the burial, and who did not give any parents' names or mention a wife,
said that Evariste died at "age 19 years, 4 months." Did Evariste
marry?
_____ Guillot
died in Assumption Parish, age 4 months, in August 1856. The
Plattenville priest who recorded the burial did not give the child's
parents' names.
An unnamed son of Joseph
Guillot died in Assumption Parish, age 2, in August 1863.
The Plattenville priest who recorded the boy's burial did not give the
mother's name, so one wonders which Joseph Guillot may
have been the boy's father.
Estilina Guillot
married Edward Jenkins in a civil ceremony in Terrebonne
Parish in December 1863. The parish clerk gave no parents' names.
Joseph Guillot
died in Lafourche Parish, age 14, in September 1864. The Thibodaux
priest who recorded the burial did not give his parents' names.
Jean Guillotte
married Marie Perque, place and date unrecorded.
Daughter Marie Noémia was born near Labadieville, Assumption Parish, in
July 1868.
Sarah, daughter of Justine Mavigne
Guillot, married Francis, son of Henri Henri and Célestine Gabriel,
at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, in June 1869. The priest
who recorded the marriage did not give
Justine Mavigne's parents' names, so one wonders if she was an Acadian
Guillot.
Evariste Guillot
married Anaïse Boudreaux, place and date unrecorded.
Daughter Marie Avelie was born in Lafourche Parish in January 1870.
Estelina Guillot
married Euliste Aucoin in a civil ceremony in Lafourche
Parish in October 1870. The parish clerk gave no parents' names.
Was she the Estilina Guillot who married Edward
Jenkins in Terrebonne Parish a few years earlier?
LOUISIANA: WESTERN SETTLEMENTS
No Acadian Guillot family line
appeared on the western prairies before the War of 1861-65.
However, female Acadian Guillots lived on upper and lower Bayou Teche during the late colonial
and late antebellum periods. Not until after the war did Acadian Guillots, from Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes, create a
western branch of the family by settling on lower Bayou Teche and in Lafayette
Parish:
Françoise-Gertrude, daughter of René
Guillot and his second wife Françoise Bourg, was born at Trigavou,
near St.-Malo, France, in March 1767. She came to Louisiana from France in
1785, perhaps with an older brother, married twice at Lafourche, and followed her second husband, Paul-Hippolyte Theriot,
to the Attakapas District, where they settled at Grande Pointe on upper Bayou
Teche. He died there in the late 1810s, and she in the early 1820s, in her
mid-50s.
A succession for Marguerite
Éloise Guillot was filed at the Franklin courthouse, St. Mary Parish, in
May 1851. Was she the Marguerite Louise Guillot who married fellow
Acadian Basile Jacinte Richard at the Thibodauxville church, Lafourche
Interior Parish, in October 1821? If so, she was a daughter of Jean Michel
Guillot and Marie Rose Pitre of Lafourche Interior Parish.
Other GUILLOTs on the Western
Prairies
Some Guillots who lived in
the western parishes during the immediate post-war period cannot be linked by local
church and civil records to other Acadian members of the family in the area:
Estellina Guyot, perhaps a
Guillot, wife or widow of Édouard Jenkins, died in Lafayette Parish,
age 19, in
April 1867. The Vermilionville priest who recorded the burial did not give
any parents' names.
August Guillot married
Arthémise Broussard, place and date unrecorded. Their son Joseph Frédéric was born near
New Iberia, then in St. Landry but now in Iberia Parish, in February 1868.
A succession for Amélie,
daughter of ____ Guillot and Élise Monier,
was filed at the Lafayette Parish courthouse in January 1869. The
clerk who recorded the succession did not give her father's given name,
mention a husband, or give her age at the time of her passing.
Élena Emélina, daughter of
Philomène Guillot, was born near Lydia, Iberia Parish,
near New Iberia, in February 1870. The priest who recorded the
baptism did not give the girl's father's name nor the mother's parents'
names.
NON-ACADIAN FAMILIES in LOUISIANA
Most of the Guillots of South
Louisiana were Acadians, but some of them were Frenchmen with similar-sounding
surnames who came to the colony decades before their Acadian namesakes arrived
in 1785:
Louise-Françoise, daughter of Simon Guillot
and Agathe Martin of Paris, married Charles, fils, son of
Charles Davion of St.-Prix, France, at New Orleans in August 1720, only
two years after the city was founded by the sieur de Bienville. Charles
was a soldier stationed at Fort St.-Jean-Baptiste, Natchitoches. And there
they remained.
Guillots were counted at
Biloxi, then part of French Louisiana, in 1721, and along the lower Mississippi
River in 1726 and 1731, but they probably left no descendants in the
colony.
Jean Guillot of Limoges,
France, married Marie-Angélique Prevost in New Orleans in 1736, but they
do not seem to have left any descendants.
René-Jacques Guiot, a soldier
in de Gauvier's company, Louisiana troops, died at Pointe Coupée, on the river
above New Orleans, evidently where he was stationed, in September 1745.
His burial record says nothing of his parents, birthplace, or a wife and
children.
Mathias Guio married
Anne-Claudine Cleraux, place and date unrecorded. Their daughter Catherine-Élisabeth was born
at New Orleans in November 1752.
Joseph, son of Joseph Guillot
and Françoise Simon of Sambrieu, Savoy, France, was a resident of New
Orleans when he married New Orleans native Catalina, daughter of Jean Paillet,
in January 1801. Their son Joseph François was born at New Orleans in
February 1802.
.
A non-Acadian
Guillot family emerged on the river, on what was called the upper
Acadian Coast, during the early antelbellum period and settled among the
Acadians there:
Antoine Granger Guillot
was widower of Marie Louise Langlois
when he remarried to Marguerite, daughter of Antoine Rebol and widow of
Guillaume Blake, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in June 1816;
Marguerite's mother was a Doiron.
Clarisse Renée, a daughter by Antoine Granger Guillot's first wife, had
been baptized at age four months at St. Gabriel back in April 1807, so
Antoine Granger may have been a native of France who came to Louisiana during
the late colonial period. He seems to have fathered no sons.
.
The largest family of French-Creole Guillots
settled at Pointe Coupée during the early colonial period. Some of them moved west to the Avoyelles and
Opelousas prairies during the late colonial and early antebellum periods:
Descendants of Pierre GUILLOT dit
Dufresne (?-?)
Pierre Guillot dit Dufresne
of Rheims, France, who also spelled his
surname Guiot, married Pointe
Coupée native Marguerite Richard, a French Creole, not an Acadian, probably
at Pointe Coupée in the 1740s.
His children were born at Pointe Coupée. In the mid-1780s, Pierre dit
Dufresne moved his family northwest to the Avoyelles prairie. Some of his
grandsons moved south into the old Opelousas District.
1
Oldest son Jean-Pierre, baptized at Pointe Coupée,
a newborn, in July
1751, died at Pointe Coupée in
October 1775. He probably did not marry.
2
Joseph, born in January 1754, married Françoise Dardenne
at Pointe Coupée in the
late 1770s. Their son Joseph, fils was born at Pointe Coupée in
c1783, Alexandre in c1784, and Zenon probably at Avoyelles in June 1789.
2a
Alexandre married Élise, daughter of Joseph Carmouche
of Avoyelles, in the Opelousas District in January 1803. Their son Joseph
le jeune was born probably in the Opelousas District in the 1800s or
1810s.
Joseph le jeune married Manette, daughter of Zénon Gailleau,
at the Opelousas church. St. Landry Parish, in January 1835.
2b
Zénon married Seconde, daughter of Antointe Lachenette of Avoyelles,
at the Opelousas church, St. Landry Parish, in September 1809.
3
Jean-Baptiste
dit Dufresne, born in July 1757, died at Pointe Coupée at age 22 months in May
1759.
4
Georges dit Ferret,
born in August 1760, married
Marguerite, daughter of Pierre Landreneau, probably at Avoyelles in February
1787. Their son Georges, fils was born probably at Avoyelles in October
1788.
5
Youngest son Mathurin, born in May
1763, married
Françoise, daughter of Claude Juneau, at Pointe Coupée in the 1780s.
Their son Augustin was born probably at Avoyelles in July 1786, Alexis in March
1788, and Célestin was baptized by a Pointe Coupée priest probably
at Avoyelles in January 1793.
Célestin married
Marguerite Guillory and died in St. Landry Parish in the late 1830s.
.
In September 1850, the federal census
taker in Avoyelles Parish counted a single slave--a 40-year-old mulatto male--on
widow Celia Guillot's farm. The same census taker counted 2
slaves--a 22-year-old black male, and a 14-years-old black female--on another
Widow Guillot's farm. They probably were the wives or
daughters of Pierre dit Dufresne's descendants.
Pauline Guillot, widow of
Julien Guillory and probably a descendant of Pierre dit Dufresne,
married Vincent Lemane in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in March
1853. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's
parents' names. A marriage contract for Pauline and Vincent also was
recorded at the Opelousas courthouse in June 1854. Again, the parish clerk
did not record any parents' names. Pauline's succession was filed
at the Opelousas courthouse in September 1864. The parish clerk recorded
the names of her husbands but not her age.
Jean Baptiste Guillot,
probably a descendant of Pierre dit Dufresne, married Johanna
Quebedeau in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in October 1858. The
parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names.
In June 1860, the federal census taker
in Avoyelles Parish counted a single slave--a 16-year-old black female--on François Guillot's
farm In
early July, the same census taker counted a single slave--a 49-year-old
mulatto--on Widow Célestin Guillot's homestead. Célizie Guillot,
just down the road, owned a single black female slave, age 50. Not far
distant on the Avoyelles prairie, Pierre Guillot held 6 slaves--3 males and 3 females,
all black, ranging in age from 36 to 3, living in a
single house. The following October, the federal census taker in Avoyelles
counted 3 slaves--a 65-year-old male,
a 50-year-old female, and a 25-years-old male, all black and all living under the same
roof--on Valéry Guillot's farm.
John Guillot married Lizy
McKinney in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in March 1869.
.
Another, older, Pointe Coupée family,
the Guéhos from Brittany, who also spelled their surname Guihot,
Guio, or Guiot, are easily confused with the Guillots of
Pointe Coupée, Avoyelles, and Opelousas. A Guého birth was recorded
at New Orleans as early as April 1733.
Descendants of Pierre GUIOT or
GUÉHO dit Le Jeunesse (?-?)
Pierre Guiot or Guého dit La
Jeunesse, son of Pierre Guiot and Catherine La Mirande of Bonneval,
Beauce, Brittany, France, was the widower of Marie-Louise Ozenne when he
remarried to Marie-Jeanne, daughter of Jean-George Poché, at Pointe
Coupée in January 1741. Pierre dit La Jeunesse
remarried to Jeanne-Adrienne, daughter of Francois Riche, at Pointe
Coupée, in August 1759. Pierre dit La Jeunesse died at Pointe Coupée in April
1768; the priest who recorded the burial did not give his age.
1
Older son Jean-Pierre, called Pierre,
by his first wife, born at
Pointe Coupée in November 1749, married Marie-Félicité, called
Félicité, daughter of Francois Berluchaud, at Pointe Coupée in May
1774. Their son François was baptized at Pointe Coupée in
August 1775, Pierre, fils in January 1778 but died in the Opelousas
District at age 10 in April
1789, and Alexandre was baptized at Opelousas in
February 1791.
François returned to Pointe Coupée, where he married
Marianne, daughter of French Creole Pierre Bergeron of Pointe Coupée, at
Pointe Coupée in February 1795. Their son François,
fils
was born at Pointe Coupée in February 1805, Terence in February 1806,
Valérien in July 1811, and Vincent in August 1813. Francois, père died in Pointe
Coupee Parish in March 1852, age 83. One of their daughters married
into the Prospere family.
François, fils married Clarissa, daughter of French Creole Francois David,
at the Pointe Coupee church, Pointe Coupee Parish, in September 1825. François Guého,
perhaps their son, was born probably in Pointe Coupee Parish in the late 1820s
or early 1830s, Hypolite in February 1837, Edmond in May 1840,
and Jean Dupré in September 1842.
Oldest son François III married Julie Prosper probably in Pointe Coupee
Parish in the 1850s.
Their son Émile was born in Pointe Coupee Parish in December 1858.
Terence
married cousin Éloise, daughter of French Creole Hippolyte Bergeron,
at the Pointe Coupee church, Pointe Coupee Parish, in April 1827.
Vincent married Désirée,
daughter of Cyprien Gremillion, at the Pointe Coupee church, Pointe
Coupee Parish, in May 1832.
Vincent died at his home on Bayou
Grosse-Tete, Pointe Coupee Parish, in February 1852, age 30.
Valérien married Irma Gremillion in a civil ceremony in
Pointe Coupee Parish in the 1830s. Their twin sons Valérien,
fils
and Vincent le jeune were born in Pointe Coupee Parish in September 1844,
and Léonce in February 1849.
2
Younger son Louis dit Lejeunesse,
by his second wife, born at Pointe Coupée in
March 1768, married Geneviève, daughter
of French Creole Michel Lejeune of Pointe Coupée and widow of Joseph Jeanise,
at Pointe Coupée in May 1774. They remained at Pointe Coupée.
Omer
or Oscar Guého married Émilie Guého, probably a cousin, in the
1850s. Their son Omer Demetrius was born in Pointe Coupee Parish
in November 1853, Terence in January 1858,
Oscar in August 1860, and Edmond in December 1861.
St. James Guého married Prudence Guého in a civil ceremony probably in Pointe Coupee
Parish in the 1850s. Their son
Arthur was born in Pointe Coupee Parish in March 1861.
No Guého
appears on a Louisiana or Confederate unit roster during the War of 1861-65.
~
Immigrants from France with
similar-sounding surnames, called Foreign
French by native Louisianians, came to New Orleans during the antebellum period.
Some of them settled in predominantly Acadian communities outside of the city,
including the western prairies:
W. C. Guillot, a 35-year-old
merchant from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Venus out of Le
Havre, France, in April 1826.
Barthélémy, son of Jacques Guillot
and Benoîte Duhon of Lyon, France, married Delphine Antoinette, called
Antoinette, daughter of French Creole Sylvain Tregle, at the
Thibodauxville
church, Lafourche Interior Parish, in February 1832. Their son François
Velleinse was born in Lafourche Interior Parish in November 1832, and Barthélemy,
fils
in June 1834, so non-Acadian Guillots settled among their Acadian
namesakes in the Lafourche valley.
A non-Acadian, perhaps a Foreign
Frenchman, whose surname resembled that of the Guillots, also settled on
Bayou Lafourche. In the 1830s, Célestin Guyot married Anglo Marie
Elizabeth,
called Elizabeth, Ferguson probably in Lafourche Interior Parish.
Their son Eugène Joseph was born in Lafourche Interior Parish in May
1845.
Their daughters married into the Chiasson, Dantin, Darden,
and Picou families. Célestin died in Lafourche Interior Parish in
October 1847; the Thibodaux priest who recorded the burial did not give his
parents' names or his age at the time of death; a petition for a family meeting,
listing Célestin children--Elizabeth, Marie Loring, Julie Philomène, and Eugène
Joseph--was filed at the Thibodaux courthouse in March 1851.
Philip Guillot, a 38-year-old
carpenter from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Pennsylvania
out of Mexico in January 1836.
Ysidor Guillot, a 24-year-old
baker from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Venezia out of
Havana, Cuba, in September 1836.
Claude Guillot, a 36-year-old
baker from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Alexander out of
Le Havre in November 1837. A few days later, Jean Guillot, a
51-year-old native of France, occupation unrecorded, reached New Orleans aboard
the ship Marengo out of Le Havre.
F. Guillut, a 29-year-merchant
from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Chieftain out of Havana
in March 1838. That same month, J. B. Guyot, a 40-year-old laborer
from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Bonny Boat out of
Santiago de Cuba.
Charles G. Guillot, a
62-year-old trader from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Cora
out of Tampico, Mexico, in March 1839. With him was Virginia Guillot,
age 30, probably his daughter.
Louis Guiot, a 22-year-old
native of France, occupation unrecorded, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Salem
out of Le Havre in November 1839.
____ Guyot, a 31-year-old
native of France, occupation unrecorded, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Vaillant
out of Bordeaux, France, in April 1840. With him was his wife, also a
French native, age 23.
L. M. Guillot, a 19-year-old
native of France, occupation unrecorded, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Châteaubriand
out of Bordeaux in April 1841.
Baptiste Guillot, a 47-year-old
farmer from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Vesta out of Le
Havre in June 1846. With him was wife Françoise, age 40, and their
children Marie, age 13, Emérentine, age 9, Claude, age 8, François, age 5, and
Pierre, age 4.
Guillaume Guillot, a
45-year-old farmer from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Rome
out of Le Havre in March 1848. He was heading to Texas.
August Guyot, a 26-year-old
farmer from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Moselle out of Le
Havre in July 1848.
Jean Guillot, a 49-year-old
farmer from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Hargrave out of
Le Havre in February 1849. With him was wife Marie, age 50, also a native
of France.
Albert Guyot
married Élise Monnier, place and date unrecorded.
Son Jules Albert was born in Lafayette Parish in January 1858 but
died there at 1 1/2 in September 1859, and daughter Marie Émelie was born
in April 1859.
.
Guillots, some of them perhaps
Foreign French, others French Creoles, lived in New
Orleans and the surrounding parishes during the antebellum period. Some of them owned
slaves, and some of them were slaves:
In late August 1850, the federal census taker in
Ward 2, Orleans Parish, which included the city of New Orleans, counted 9 slaves--5 blacks and 4 mulattoes, 3 males
and 6 females, ranging in age from 42 to 3--in J. A. Guillotte's
household. In July 1860, the
federal census taker in Ward 2, Orleans Parish, the city of New Orleans, visited
the household of J. A. Guillotte again and counted only 5 slaves this
time--2 blacks and 4 mulattoes, 1 male and 4 females, ranging in age from 45 to
6.
In late August 1850, the federal
census taker in Ward 5, also part of the city, counted 2 slaves--a 32-year-old
mulatto female and an 18-year-old black female--in Edward Guillot's
household.
In Ward 7, also in the city, in late September
1850, the federal census taker counted
6 slaves--3 blacks and 3
mulattoes, 3 males and 3 females, ranging in age from 50 to 4--in Jh, probably John, Guillot's
household.
In the same
ward, in late October 1850, the census taker counted a single 36-year-old black male
slave owned by E. Guillotte.
In early June 1860, the federal census
taker in Jefferson Parish, just upriver from New Orleans, counted 8 slaves--7 blacks and 1 mulatto, 6 males and 2 females,
ranging in age from 75 to 5, living in 3 houses--on J.
C. Guillotte's farm.
Joséphine, 18-year-old
mulatresse daughter of Joseph Auguste Guillot or
Guillotte and Marie Évelina Joly, also
Lalande, married Louis, son of Jean Baptiste Hoël
and Sylvie T. Lemaire of France, at New Orleans in
October 1870. Was the bride's father the same J. A.
Guillotte who owned laves at New Orleans in 1850 and 1860?
CONCLUSION
Guillots settled late in
Acadia, and they came "late" to Louisiana. In
fact, if the Spanish government had not coaxed over
1,500 Acadians in France to emigrate to the colony, there probably would be
no Acadian Guillots in the Bayou State today. Le Grand Dérangement and
settlement schemes in France devastated this Île St.-Jean family, but the hand
full of Acadian Guillots who made it to Louisiana in 1785 found peace and
comfort finally in the Bayou Lafourche valley, where several of their lines
proliferated. By the 1850s, a few of them had slipped south into
Terrebonne Parish, one of them as far west as Chacahoula, near Bayou Black, but
most of them remained along the upper stretches of the bayou where their
immigrant ancestors had settled decades before. Soon after the War of 1861-65, Guillots from
Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes settled west of the Atchafalaya Basin on lower
Bayou Teche and on the prairies of Lafayette Parish, but most of them remained
on the southeastern bayous.
Meanwhile, non-Acadian Guillots who had settled
at Pointe Coupee as early as the 1740s moved northwestward into the Avoyelles prairie in the
mid-1780s, and some of them moved south into the Opelousas District, where
they still could be found in the late 1850s. Foreign-French Guillots
found a home in New Orleans as well as on the river above the city
and along Bayou Lafourche among their Acadian namesakes.
Judging by the number of slaves
held by Guillots during the late antebellum period, a few members of the
family, especially on upper Bayou Lafourche and in the city of New Orleans, lived very
comfortably as businessmen and farmers. In 1850, Acadian Jean Baptiste
Guillot held 16 slaves on his farm in Assumption Parish. Louis
Guillot, on the farm next door, held 15. Ten years later, Acadian Alexandre Guillot
of Assumption Parish owned 31 slaves on two holdings along Bayou
Lafourche. His
aunt, Eugènie Templet, widow of Jean Baptiste Guillot,
held 19 slaves in the same parish. But most of the Guillots,
Acadian and French Creole, owned no slaves on their simple farms in the
bayou and prairie parishes.
Dozens of
Guillots served Louisiana in uniform during the War of 1861-65,
and at least four of them died in Confederate
service. Ambroise
Guillot of Company A, 1st Regiment Louisiana Heavy Artillery, a
conscript probably from Assumption Parish, died of disease at Vicksburg,
Mississippi, in November 1862. G.
B. Guillot of Company K(2nd), Crescent Regiment Louisiana Infantry,
another conscript, joined the company in November 1862 at Camp Pratt, near New
Iberia, and died in a hospital at New Iberia a few weeks later. J.
B. Guillot of Company D, 26th Regiment Louisiana Infantry, enlisted
in the Lafourche Parish unit in March 1862 and died in a hospital at Mississippi
Springs, Mississippi, the following July. O.
Guillot of Company C, 18th Regiment Louisiana Infantry, a conscript
assigned to this unit in October 1862, died the following month probably in a
New Iberia hospital, another victim of disease.
During the war, successive Federal incursions devastated
the Bayou Lafourche valley.
Confederate foragers also plagued the area when the Federals were not
around. ...
After the war, Acadian and French
Creole Guillots began to move even farther from the homes of their
immigrant ancestors. One scholar speculates that
the Guillots of Rapides Parish today descend from the Guillots
of Avoyelles. Some of the Avoyelles Guillots who settled in the
Opelousas area may have moved south into present-day Lafayette Parish, but most of the Guillots
who now live in Lafayette, and especially in Iberia Parish, south of the Hub
City, are descendants
of Acadian Guillots who migrated west from Lafourche and Terrebonne
parishes. A recent count of Guillots in Louisiana found more of
them living west of the Atchafalaya Basin than east of it. A substantial
number of them also live in the New Orleans area, descendants not only of
Foreign-French Guillots but also of Acadian and French-Creole members of
the family who succumbed to the material economy of the late twentieth
century and moved to the big city.
The family's name also is spelled
Diotte, Guiau, Guihote, Guillau, Guilleau, Guillote, Guillotte, Guilloz, Guyllotte, Guyot.
