This is what i have found on Rene. I would like know when and were he died.
RENE(dit L’Angevin)GUILLOT was born about 1695 in Doix, Diocese Angers, France. Dit L’Angevin is for somebody who came from the town of Angers or around Angers. This part of France is L'Anjou. A cousin Preston Guillote wrote the following about Rene GUILLOT in the Terrebonne Life Lines, Vol. 17 No. 2. " I have been unable to find the exact birthplace of Rene GUILLOT, my direct ancestor, born approximately 1695 in France. I have made two unsuccessful trips to France to find records of the exact community where the family originated. I have been to Doix, Diocese Angers France. That is located today in the department of Vendee, southwest of Poitier near the community of Pontenay Le Comte. It is northeast of La Rochelle. No records exist with him or his Brother, Henri's name. Although they gave Doix as the point of origin of their voyage upon arrival in Acadia, they may have lived there at the time they left for Acadia but were baptized in some other church in another community. A visit to Cherminac, a small community south of Saintes, France, also proved fruitless. This is one of the possible communities where the GUILLOT name could have originated. The church there was built in the 12th century, but their names again did not appear in the registers. The archives in the port city of La Rochelle gave me no information as to the ship that they might have sailed on to get to Acadia. This is the logical port to have sailed from as this was one of the main ports of they day when so many sailed to Acadia. It also is very close to the community of Doix. I would call this area of France "west central" as it is on the Atlantic side of the country and just north of Bordeaux. It is in the modern region of Poitou-Charentes. It is an agricultural region of wheat and rye. The coastal area is predominantly fishing communities. The landscape of the area is simply beautiful. Rolling hills of light greens to dark greens to bright yellow patches cover endlessly the farms as you drive down the highways. "'
The Guillot's arrival in Acadia shortly after the signing of the Treaty of Utecht in 1713 giving the English the whole Acadian Peninsula. RENE and HENRI first appeared in the records of Acadia in 1714. In the "History of the Acadians" by Bona Arsenault, Rene's family along with most of Cobequid and Pisiquid fled to the Isle Saint Jean (Prince Edward Island) around 1752 because of the war with the English over control of Acadia. Rene's family was deported to Saint Malo, France.
HENRI GUILLOT, RENE'S brother was born 1693 in France. In Sieur de la Roque 1752 Census for Prince Edward Island/Ile Saint Jean, Page 6 - Prince Edward Island: Herné GUILLOT, plough man, native of Doix, bishopric of Angers, aged 59 years. He has Marie Joseph GUILLOT, his daughter, aged 29 years and in stock, two cows and one calf. The land upon which they are settled was given to them verbally by Monsieur de Bonnaventure. On it they have made a clearing for the sowing of four bushels of wheat in the coming spring.
Rene GUILLOT is the brother in law of Charles Doiron according to the text of an action 24 May 1736 at the garrison of Annapolis Royal between Rene GUILLOT and Charles Duron (Nova Scotia Archives, page 346 "Minutes of H.M. Council 1720 - 1742"), "The plaintiff represents & sets forth that the defendant Charles Duron his brother in law has disturbed him in the possession of his inheritance left to his wife Margaret by her deceased father John Duron, & not only so, but that gave him a summons to appear before Gov & Council to have their difference decided he beat him with a stick & ca as upon file."
He was married to MARGUERITE Doiron (daughter of JEAN BAPTISTE Doiron (DOUARON) and MARIE ANNE de CANOL (DECANO)) about 1719 in Cobequid, Acadie. MARGUERITE Doiron was born about 1699 in Cobequid, Acadie. She died on 13 FEB 1759 in Saint Malo, France. RENE (dit L’Angevin) GUILLOT and MARGUERITE Doiron had the following children:
JEAN BAPTISTE GUILLOT.
MARIE JOSEPHE GUILLOT.
RENE (REYNOLDO) GUILLOT.
AMBROISE GUILLOT.
