GUILLOW Francis Lorenzo

Notes:

Francis Guillou is reported to have been impressed off the coast of France by a British merchant ship in the 1850s, to have run away when the ship reached the colonies, and to have found a home in Norton. His name became Guillow, probably an Anglicized version of the name Guillot. He and Molly had eleven children; he fought in the American Revolution and moved his family to western Massachusetts, settling ca. 1780 in Greenfield. In 1793 he signed the petition to establish the town of Gill from parts of Deerfield, Greenfield, Northfield and Montague and he died there in 1803.
