  • Notes 
    • Jean was the son of Jacques Guyon and Marie Huet. Jean sailed from France on 14 March 1634 and arrived in New France 4 June 1634. His wife and most of his children did not arrive in New France until about l year later. His oldest Daughter, Barbe now married to Pierre Paradis did not arrive in New France until 1652.
    • JEAN GUION, SIEUR DU BUISSON
      ED. NOTE: THIS SHORT HISTORY IS AN EXTRACT FROM VOLUME 3 OF
      THE “RED DRUIN” SET, KNOWN MORE FORMALLY AS THE
      DICTIONNAIRE NATIONAL DES CANADIENS FRANÇAIS BY GABRIEL
      DROUIN.
      It was in 1634 that the French emigration began, never to be interrupted.
      Jean Guion was part of the first group brought from Perche by Robert
      Giffard, first Seigneur of Beauport. He disembarked at Quebec on June 4,
      1634. Jean Guion bore the title Sieur de Buisson. This was the name of the
      fief he had received from his Seigneur. From the moment of his arrival in
      the country, Jean Guion settled on his domain and began to clear the land
      with great energy.
      Jean Guion was a mason by trade, but this did not prevent him from
      cultivating his lands and acting as a notary. It was in this latter capacity
      that he drew up the first marriage contract in the country, that of Robert
      Drouin… .
      A fervent Catholic, Jean Guion, your ancestor, has his name linked with
      diverse charitable works of an emerging Canada. In addition, he is seen also
      as participating in all religious gatherings. Here is what the Jesuit Journals
      have to say in a very interesting account concerning the order to be
      followed during the Corpus Christi procession in 1646.
      Since it seemed there were discussions from all ~ - sides, the writer
      tells us: "Someone remembered that the honor of trades had to be
      kept, even though our Liege brother suggested there was no point
      in regarding honor. In other matters, the [participants] were to
      agree among themselves, such as whether it was necessary for the
      fathers to bring their children. In the end, the two oldest walked
      first: that is, Zacharie Cloutier and Jean Guion."
      This was perhaps the first official recognition of the right of
      representation of a corps of trades in a public holiday in Quebec.
      The order of the procession follows:
      "Two bell-ringers marched in front, then the banner, whose bearer
      wore a hat of flowers. The Cross followed, carried by a young man
      of 20 years wearing an alb and a stole; on both sides, two children
      in surplices and stoles. For the first time, there followed torches, six
      in number. It had been determined that the carriers would
      represent the tradesmen of the country, namely: carpenters,
      masons, sailors, tool-makers, brewers and bakers; the torches were
      sent to them the night before. The torches were of our
      manufacture, made of our wax, and then decorated with ribbons.
      Jean Guion, the mason, placed on his torch an escutcheon featuring
      the tools of his trade: hammer, compass, and ruler ..."
      On October 18, 1653, Jean Guion donated to the church of Saint-
      Jean-de-Mortagne in Perche, for charitable purposes, a house and
      garden, on condition that he and his wife be listed among the
      number of benefactors.
      On July 30, 1646, your first ancestor visited the Seigneur of
      Beauport, Robert Giffard. He went to the lordly residence to offer
      fidelity and homage, in accordance with an ancient feudal custom
      then in vogue, in gratitude for the fief of which he was the
      proprietor.
