• Notes

  A list of the freeholders of Morris,, 31 Aug 1752 includes, in Mendham, 'Ebnezor Byram' and 'Jos: Gurin.' The only other Guerin in this list was 'Thomas Gurin' in Morristown, who is thought to have been the first Guerin in the Morris, area. On 16 Sep 1757, 'Joseph Geren' and Ebenezer Byram were witnesses to the will of 'Enock Lennrd.' Since Joseph Guerin was the only Guerin appearing in Mendham records during this period, he would be the prime candidate as Lydia's father. The Morris County history says that "the Guerins are rather a Morristown then a Mendham family, but they intermarried with Mendham families. They were French Huguenots." The link to the Byram family is strongly indicated by the name of the proprietor of the old and new Mansion House hotels in Morristown in the 1860s-1880s, Byram C. Guerin.
