Additional Comments:
I have researched this family and have the following information.
Christian Geuss was born Christian Geis in Heilgersdorf, Bavaria Germany 
according to Georg Geis family from Toledo Ohio. Georg was Christians brother. 
He came to the US and lived with an Uncle in PA.  He was not happy with the 
arrangements and came to Ohio.  Christian served in the Civil War in the 42th 
Ohio infantry. He went awol one day when his first child was born. He married 
Mercy (Martha) Van Horn from Bucks Co. PA on Sept. 28, 1856.  Mercy was the 
daughter of Samuel Van Horn and Mercy Lovett of Bucks Co. PA. 
The name Geis was German and in the states was changed to Geuss. Later in 1900 
the family changed the name to Geuy. One child, Jesse Jackson Geuy changed it 
to Guoy. Christian married twice. His first wife Martha or Mercy died while 
giving birth to the last child. He then left the eldest daughter to raise the 
remaining children and went to Toledo and lived with his brother.  He met and 
married two years later to Marian Momentaheir. 
Here are the spouses and more info on the family.
Christian Geuss is buried in Pasco, Shelby Co. Ohio. He died on April 22, 1829
Children of Mercy and Christan and their spouses if known are:
Sarah Margaret Geuy m. Martin Maxon She died 1922
John Steward Geuy m. Alice Spellman He died April 8, 1920
Henry Geuy died March 6, 1861
Mary Elizabeth Geuy m. Francis John Davidson She died July 22, 1934.
George Washington Geuy m. Sarah Aetna Pine He died February 15, 1930
Isaac Marquise Geuy m. Emma Rowley He died  in 1930.
Katharine Geuy m. John T. Smith She died Feb. 12, 1948 in Logan Co.Ohio
Francis Marion L. Geuy m. Pearl Lemon/Lemmon He died April 14, 1938
Harvey Edward died young He died March 18, 1876
Jesse Jackson Geuy m. Berley Ethyl Bantley (they changed their name to Guoy)
Another Geuy I found was Laura Geuy whom married, Samuel Joseph Maurice.
 The Bible records had some parts removed  or cut out for some reason by Pearl 
and Francis.  It is on a very fine onion skin type paper and is very fragile.
The Geuy family built elaborate Barns.
 We know that Christian's mothers name was Eva Margaret? His siblings were: 
Georg or George and Maria.Georg's wife was Dortha. I believe Maria m. John 
George Hennig
