Jean GUYON

( - 30 May 1663)

GUYON-dit-DUBOISSON or -DUBUISSON, Sieur du Buisson

Jetté, Tanguay and Drouin. Tanguay mistakenly lists two Jean GUYONs, one married to Mathurine ROBIN and one to Marie-Madeleine GOULE (or BOULE). This has been shown to be wrong (see FCAGR ). After the first register of Québec was burned in June of 1640, many records were recreated from memory, and errors occurred. This seems to have been an instance of such an error.
