Simon Guillory: (1646 - 1696)
     He was the son of Francois Guillory born in France. Simon arrived in Quebec City in 1664 and in the 1666 Montreal census he was listed as a gunsmith, employed by Charles Lemoine. In 1667 he married Louise Bouchard (daughter of Laurent Bouchard & Nicole Bugon) in Montreal and their children were: Guillaume (Simon II) (1700-?) (m. Marie Aly in 1696), Jeanne-Francoise (1674-1700) (m.Jacques Gaudry dit Bourboniere in 1694), Simon  (1678-1698), Francois (1676-1739) (m. Jeanne Monfort at Mobile, Ala. in 1710/11), Marie-Magdeline (1681-1704) (m. Antoine Tesserot in 1699), Louise (b.1682) (m.1st.Jean Bte.Massiot in 1701 & m.2nd.Joseph Cuillerier in 1708) & Marie-Francoise (abt.1684-1727).
     When Simon II & Francois Guillory were young boys their father was at Ft.Albany in 1682 (which was taken by the Lemoyne's from the British) when the British took possession of the fort again from the French. They found Simon I in "irons" for murdering the surgeon & priest, at the fort, with an ax. The British took him to England as a prisoner but by 1696 (the year of his death) he was back in New France.

Guilluame (Simon II) Guillory: (1670 - ?)
     He was the son of Simon Guillory I & Louise Bouchard born in Montreal. Simon II married Marie Aly (Alix/Aliee) at Montreal in 1696 and their children were: Antoine (b.1704) & Simon III (b.1706) Anne (b.1709), Francois-Marie (b.1711), Jean-Joseph (b.1714), Joseph-Marie (b.1716) & Marie-Josephe (b.1723).

Francois Guillory: (1676-1739)
     He was the son of Simon Guillory I & Louise Bouchard born in Montreal. Francois married Jeanne Monfort (daughter of Nicholas Monfort & Renee Samzun) at Mobile, Ala. in 1710/11 and their son was Gregoire (1712-1777/78) (m. (1) Marie Jeanne LaCasse in 1739 at Mobile & m. (2) Marguerite.

Antoine Guillory: (1704 - 1745)
     He was probably the son of Simon Guillory I & Louise Bouchard born in Montreal. Antoine married Anne Villeneuve (daughter of  Daniel Amiot dit Villenuve & Domitille Oukabe dit Neveu- step sister of Charles Langlade) in 1735. While Antoine was trading in the western Great Lakes Region (he was on Lake Superior in 1738) in the 1730's, his cousins were at the opposite end of the Mississippi River. His cousins were the children of Francois Guillory, who apparently was with the Lemoynes in the establishment of a French colony, not far from the mouth of the Mississippi, at Mobile, Ala. (where his children were born).
