There's a discrepancy in the birth date listed on Albert's cemetery stone, and the birth years given in several U.S. censuses. While living with his parents, and later when counted with his father, brothers and aunt, the date shown was 1875 or 6. Obituary states 1875. Whoever ordered the stone apparently was mistaken.
Albert moved from Clinton County, New York with his father, Lorenzo Guynup, brothers Charles, William, Clarence, sister Cynthia Jane Guynup Johnston and aunt Sally Guynup Branch Soward or Seward.
Both his parents' ancestors were early arrivals in Clinton County. Phebe Comstock Guynup's family has been well documented in a Comstock family history. Lorenzo Guynup's grandfather, William Guynnup was a Massachusetts Revolutionary War veteran who moved north after the war, and settled in Clinton County before 1800.
Shortly after 1900, other Guynups moved north to homestead in Alberta, Canada. Why Albert didn't go is something of a mystery, but he remained in Wyoming.
