I wonder if the name is Guinnniss. In the 1800's ss was frequently written as a "leading s" which looked like the beginning of the letter "p" in lower case, followed by an "s" which may have a rounded top. Thereby appearing in handwritten records as a lower case "p". This is very common in my French and German records of the same time. Mosse looks like Mope and Riess as Riep.
