Forgive me, Michele, I cannot remember if I already answered your posting.
The website that lists the Jewish Guyons is:

JewishGen.com

The Guyon line suddenly appears around 1500. That is a time when many Merranos (Jewish families hiding their faith/identity by outwardly joining the Catholic church)flooded into France, mostly from Spain and Portugal. It is merely a possibility but 'Guyon is close to the Hebrew family name 'Dayan' which means 'Judge. 'Dayan' was changed to'Dion' by Jewish families who fled to Russia centuries ago. This family line still exhists today (descendants of the tribe of Dan).
