My 6th great-grandfather Peter Guerrant, Sr. was born about 1697 in France [1]. He came to America on the ship Nassau as a young child in 1700 with his parents Daniel and Marie Guerin (Guerrant) [1]. Peter married Magdalene Trabue about 1732, probably in Virginia. Magdalene was born on 31 Aug 1715, the daughter of Antoine Trabue, Jr. and Magdalene Verrueil [1, 2]. Peter and Magdalene would have at least 7 children.
Peter was reportedly a Major in the Colonial wars, but I have not tracked down any documentation for this yet. He signed a will on 03 Dec 1749 in Cumberland County, Virginia which identifies his wife and 7 children [3, 4]. His estate is in probate in Cumberland County on 25 Jun 1750 indicating he had died in Dec 1749 or early 1750 [1, 5, 6]. His wife Magdalene reportedly died about 1787.
The Guerin and Trabue families were Huguenot refugees who left France to escape Protestant persecution at the hands of the Catholics.
