Delavan : The Guyon House 121 



Province of New York down to the time of the Revolution (58). 

 As no will of Sarah Casier Guyon has been discovered, it may 

 therefore he assumed that her plantation descended on her death 

 to her oldest son, if she had a son. 



Jacques or James II. — A confirmatory patent for one hundred 

 and sixty acres of land with additional meadow was made in the 

 name of Queen Anne, on August 30, 1708 (59), to Jacques 

 Guyon, the patent reciting that the lands described " were hereto- 

 fore granted vuito the said Jacques Guyon and his Heirs and 

 Assigns by a Certaine Pattent or Instrument under the hand and 

 scale of Edmund Andros Esq. Lieu* & Gov'' Gen" under his 

 Royall Highness James Duke of York and Albany, bearing Date 

 25 March 1675." As it appears that Sarah C. Guyon was in 

 possession of the land in 1703, under the will of her husband, 

 proved in 1694, it is reasonable to assume that the patentee of 

 1708 was her son, and we may infer from the will of Joseph 

 Guyon,^ who died in 1758, that she had another son named Philip, 

 that her son Jacques or James married Mary Holmes, and that 

 their children were named James, Joseph, Ann, who married 

 John Garrison, Stephen, John, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Mary (60). 

 Jacques or James II died in 1742, and letters of administration 

 on his estate were granted to his widow Mary and his son 

 James (61). 



James HI. — James III was born on January 5, 1714 (62) ; the 

 Christian name of his wife, born on January 22, 1729, was Addra, 

 or, as given in his will,* "Adraansha," but her family name has 

 not been learned. The names of their children appear as follows 

 in the family Bible : 



James Guyon, born March 16, 1746. 

 Mary Guyon, born July 24, 1747. 

 James Guyon, born August 20, 1749.
