and no doubt had other children. The name appears in the census of Port Royal in 1686, and was then spelled Guilbault. In the census of Port Royal of 1714 the original spelling, Guillebeau, is restored. Among the inhabitants of the Annapolis River who signed the oath of allegiance in 1730 was Charles Gilbo and Charles Guillebaud. The latter could write: the former could not, so we may assume that both names were the same, and that these two men were the descendants of Pierre Guillebau and his wife, Catherine Tériau. In Winslow's list of the families he deported from Mines in 1755 there is none named Guillebeau, and there were none of the name at Beausejour in 1752. Port Royal appears, therefore, to have always been the home of the family. The name does not now exist in the Maritime provinces, although it is to be found in the province of Quebec.

The name of Laurent Grange or Granger, was referred to in the first of this series of articles as that of an Englishman, who had been in the employment of Sir Thomas Temple, and who resided in Acadia, when it was restored to the French under the terms of the Treaty of Breda. Granger had been a Protestant; and is said to have abjured and become a Roman Catholic before M Petit, secular priest of the seminary at Paris, who was then a missionary at Port Royal. Granger was 34 years old when the census of 1671 was taken. His wife was Marie Landry, and he had two children Pierre, aged 9 months, and one girl. The Grangers were living at Port Royal when the census of 1686 was taken, but in 1714 the name was to be found both at Port Royal and Mines. They became a numerous and influential family. Subercase mentions Granger, an inhabitant of Port Royal River, as a very brave man who took a leading part in the defence of Port Royal in 1707. Lawrence Granger and Pierre one
