CARIBBEANA VOLUME III Extracts
GUY OF JAMAICA
This tentative pedigree has been drawn up from entries in a family prayer book (Livingston, 41, 138), Archer's M. I. and other authorities. The use of the two different coats of arms is peculiar. There are several wills of the family in Jamaica. A Sergt. John Guy removed to that Island in 1656 from Nevis. (Ante, II., 264.)
