- In Oct 1664,Guion received a grant of 200 acres on Staten Island & settled there. His marriage in 1680 says he was from St. Martin in France: sources were Records of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Flatbush , 1 :224-25, & Rikers, Revised History of Harlem, 198n.
He was the progenitor of this family in America and settled on Staten Island principally because of his receipt in 1664 of a land grant consisting of "two hundred acres of land on Staten Island".Jaques Guyon resided on his property located in Old-Town (New Dorp) district on the North end of Staten Island.
Jaques Guyon's will was proved on 1 Dec 1694, his widow, Sarah, qualifying as elecutrix. In 1699, it is recorded that she paid a mortgage on the estate and seems to have held posession of the property until after 1703. Source ; Staten Island & It's People : A History 1609- 1929 ,5 Vols.
