Yes,
"you guys" is a documented period phrase.

It was morphed into the more curent "yous guys" by some shady Dutch traders...

"I'll tell you whut, yous guys cough up the Island and take this $17.00 worth of trinkets, otherwise, your wigwams might get hit by lightning... you followin' me Cochise?"
