The mystery of William Squyres has daunted researchers for over 30 years. First as to his origin. According to a letter dated 1-11-76 from Martha Rose of Houston, Tx, Fred Squyres ( a noted and published researcher of our family history) got phone book pages from Horry Co., SC and called a Rev. Squires. The Rev. Squires related this story to Fred. "In our family there were two brothers (or men named Squyres) that came over from England or France and one got off the boat in Charleston (SC) and the other stayed on the boat and went up north. The names was really spelled Squyres but the Y had been dropped".

According to Martha Rose, this story has been told in our family also.
Second: Ann's maiden name- lot of conjecture here Lewis, Moody and so on
Third: Where did William get the gold that he was buying up land with in La
Fourth: Why did it take over thirty (30) years to settle his estate and why did Catahoula Par. owe his estate money.

William was a farmer and blacksmith by trade. When he removed to La from SC to La he was hobnobing with the likes of Jim Bowie and Jean LaFitte. See the story in "Squyres with a Y" the story of William and Ann's oldest son Joseph Squyres and his descendents.

No one to this day knows exactly where he is buried, but it is believe he lies on the "home place" in Catahoula Parish, La.
