Biography
Hiram Geren was born between 1755 and 1758 in either New Jersey or North Carolina. He married Susannah Allred. Their children were:
Hiram died 31 December 1799 in Knoxville, Knox, Tennessee.
Parentage
Joseph Guerin & Marie Angélique Barbeau are claimed as Hiram's parents in many family trees. However, there is no evidence to suggest they had a son named Hiram or that they migrated to New Jersey or North Carolina. Additionally, Hiram would have been a highly unusual name for a Quebecois family. For an outline of Joseph Guerin's family see his entry in Tanguay.[1] It is very likely that two different Joseph Guerins are in question. So the identity of Hiram's parents is yet to be determined.
Name Variations
Hiram's surname appears as Guren, Gerren, Geron, Guerin, & Giram in various records, his first name is also found as Hyram.

The information also shows his name as Joseph Guerin. Additional support information gives his father as have lived and died in Charlesborg.
My information shows Joseph & Marie Barbeau as Hiram's parents, though there does seem to be some timing issues if Hiram was born in 1758. Tanguay gives Joseph Guerin b.1705 m. 3 May 1734 Angelique Barbot and children Marie-Joseph b. 1734, Joseph b. 1736, Rene 1738, Charles-Joseph 1743, Marie-Louise b. 1745, & Marie Gertrude 1749. The other Guerin family of Morristown, New Jersey provides another set of issues that I don't know enough to make an assessment about. Thoughts?
