I represent Arnauld Gilbert Guillemard. I was born in New Orleans in 1787. My parents were Gilbert Guillemard (adjutant major of New Orleans under the Spanish and lieutenant colonel of the army at Pensacola) and Maria Felicitas Barbeau Boisdore.

I was one of the Spanish officers who stayed behind with the former Spanish Governor Jose Callava to help finalize the transfer of West Florida to the Americans. After I joined several other Spanish officers in publicly protesting the rude treatment of Callava during the Vidal affair, General Andrew Jackson ordered us deported.

I married Marie Josepha Hugues de Villiers at some point before May 1812 (she appears with her full married name in the baptismal record of Maria Juana Alixa Huchet Kernion that year). We had no children. My death appears in the burial records of St. Michael’s parish: April 29, 1858 at the age of 71.
