Among other citations, he made a "reconnaissance" on 04 aug 1456 (ACV Fh 123, commissaire Pierre Mange, fol. 577) for property at Gimel. At the time, his father Johannetus Billiard had died, and Pierre had also inherited property from his late mother Johanneta, daughter of the late Arduinus (?) dictus Chanaux, or possibly Chanaz. Also, Pierre had property from his wife Mermeta, daughter of the late Petrus Gaschet. Most of the properties, however, had been purchased from unrelated parties. There does not seem to be any mention of children other than his daughter Anthonia, wife of Ludovicus de Gebennis (Louis de Genève).
The terriers Fh 4 and Fh 5 are closely related. In Fh 4 (fol. 53v), there are a number of properties recognized by Johannetus Billiard and his wife Johanneta. This terrier, though containing no dates, is a summary or "quernet" compliled for Franciscus and Johannes, sons of the late Anthonius Ier, comte de Gruyère, who died in 1433. Fh 5, likewise a "quernet" but including dates for the individual reconnaissances, covers essentially the same properties, including (fol. 176) the same ones previously recognized by Johannetus Billiard, now held by his son Petrus Billiard. Absent other complications, we can infer that Petrus had reached the age of majority and had married by 1444, and that his parents had died after 1433.

First named as the wife of Bernard Guy, so far as we can discover, at the baptism of their child in 1604, and even then without revealing her surname. We deduced her identity because Rolet delaFoge appears as the brother-in-law of Bernard Guy at the baptism of Bernard's son Abraham in 1607.
