In 1 7 10 the population of New Rochelle and its districts was as fol- 

 lows : — Male Christians, 67 ; Female do., 139 ; Male Slaves, 23 ; Female 

 do., 34; Total, 261. 



A few rods west of the Episcopal church, is situated the former resi- 

 dence of the Guion family, at present owned by William Lawton, Esq., 

 of New Rochelle, who married the daughter of the late Frederick Guion, 

 Esq. This property was originally purchased by Louis Guion, in 1691. 

 Upon the 8th of October, 1725, we find Louis Guion, Sr., conveying to 

 Aman Guion, his son, sixty-four acres of land in that part of the manor 

 called New Rochelle. The Guions were from La Rochelle in France; 

 one branch of whom were lords of Salbetter, represented by Peter Guion 

 lord of that place, and elder in the Church of Manars, who appeared for 

 the Province of Dolphiny, at the Synod of Vitre, in 161 7. a Louis, the more 

 immediate ancestor of the Guion family of New Roehelle emigrated 



a Quick's Synodican, Vol. II., page 476. Two of this name were pastors in the French 

 church. First, Simon de Guyon, pastor of the Church of Bordeaux ; second, Mr. Paul Guion, 

 pastor of the Church of Dieu le sit, 1620. A branch of this family appears to have settled upon 

 Staten Island at a very early period ; for on the 13th of October, 1664, we find Governor Nicolls 

 granting to Jacques Guion 200 acres, situated on that island. Of this family was John Guion, 

 Deputy Mayor of New York in 1677.
