VILLIERS, Jean Pierre (veel-yair), French missionary, died in Cayenne in 1672. He sailed in 1664 with Lefevre de la Barre and established the first missions in Guiana. In 1669 he returned to France for supplies, and, arriving in the following year, he founded a convent in Cayenne, with seven missionaries, and built a church in that city. He came into collision with the French company by interfering in their transactions with the Indians, and was imprisoned, but obtained his release on promising not to offend again. Villiers wrote "Etablissements de la foi fondes dans la Nouvelle France du Sad, des sauvages qui l'habitent, etc., avec un vocabulaire de la langue de ces peuples" (Beauvais, 1690).
