   Gabriel Guignard, the first of the name in Carolina, was born on the Isle of
Oléron, France, in 1708. He is found in the South Carolina Assembly in 1737.[52]
He must have accumulated considerable property, for, in accordance with a time
honored custom, in recognition of those who had large accumulations of property,
a street in Charles Town was named for him. In 1740 he married Frances de
Liesseline. Their son, John Gabriel, was State Treasurer from 1790 to 1799. He
also held the office of State Surveyor.[53]
