Mathurine ROBIN-- Date: 12 June 1615 Place: Mortagne, Perche, France
"On June 12, 1615, Jean Guyon was married at Mortagne, the parish of Saint-Jean, to Mathurine Robin, probably the daughter of Eustache and Madeleine Avrard. The couple lived at Mortagne. However, a little more than five months after their wedding on November 30, the parishioners of Tourouvre requested from "Jehan (Jean) Froger and Jehan (Jean) Guyon, mason, living in the parish of Saint-Jean at Mortagne, a flight of stones to go up the first floor of the bell tower with a huisserie of white stones from La Louverye, at the bottom and entrance to this flight". A "husserie" is defined as a fixed part in wood, forming the arch and lintel of a door in a section of a wall. The pilgrim descendants visiting the church of Tourouvre can still admire the flight of stones and frame built by his Ancestor."

Biography
DION - alteration of Guyon, a diminutive of Guy, which comes from the Germanic 'Wido' from the root 'wid' which means 'wood'. Or again, agglutination of the nickname given to one who comes from Ion or Yon, either D'Ion or D'Yon.
Jean Guion-Guyon was born on September 18, 1592 in Tourouvre, France. Son of Jacques Guyon, local notable, and Marie Huet. He married Mathurine Robin on June 2, 1615 in Saint-Jean and Saint-Malo de Mortagne, France. His main profession is master mason and enjoys an excellent reputation. He was also a colonizer, carpenter, notary and wrote the first marriage contract in the country. Nine children were born from their union. Lord Robert Giffard recruits him in France to clear and populate his stronghold. Jean then bore the title of 'Sieur du Buisson' name of the fief received. They arrived in the country on June 4, 1634. He owned two thousand acres of land. He died on May 30, 1663 in Beauport and his wife had died on April 17, 1672 in Beauport.
