Books on the Guthrie Family

StellaS77 — 2009-11-07 02:09:55Z

Greetings,

I just found a new online bookstore that gives away FREE SEARCHABLE CD-ROM with the purchase of any family history book, they have over 20,000 titles to choose from, I just tought that I will pass it along to you.

Their address is www.ancestralbooks.com

Books that I was able to find from their website for my research:

A Brief History of a Branch of the Guthrie Family - by Guthrie, Seymour
Chicago, IL , 1889

A Sketch of Stephen Guthrie, Senior and His Children: A Pioneer Family of the Ohio Land Company of 1787 - by Guthrie, Stephen Hand
Zanesville, OH , 1891

American Guthrie and Allied Families - by Guthrie, Laurence R
Chambersburg, PA , 1933

Records of the Guthrie Family of Pennsylvania - by Dunn, Harriet & Eveline G
Chicago, IL , 1898

Exira, wife of Jonathan (John) Guthrie living Jefferson Co. Illinois

CindyLowe000 — 2009-11-01 18:27:02Z

Found several messages posted to various boards in 1998 concerning an Exira Lowe who married Jonathan/John Guthrie and lived in Jefferson Co. Illinois. Emails to the listed addresses have bounced.

I believe that Exira may be this Exira in the 1850 Census household of Kendal Low(e) and have information and documents on this Lowe family that may be of interest to the poster.

1850 Census Adams Co. Ohio Sprigg Township page 96 #699 enumerated June 1
Kendal Low 51 M Maryland
Elizabeth 40 F Maryland
James W. 23 M Ohio
Rachel 19 F Ohio
Hetty 16 F Ohio
Exira 12 F Ohio
Henrietta 10 F Ohio
Thomas D. 8 M Ohio
Eliza J. 4 F Ohio
Elija 9 months M Ohio

As far as I know, we don't have any Guthries with this name, but I will check with other researchers who are helping me and see if they think there is a connection!!

Thanks for your reply!

Hi! I saw your post and couldn't resist a reply, to say "Rock on!" I'm an English teacher, too, and do not understand why people who post on message boards have to display such disregard for simple things like punctuation, capitalization, and spell-check! Maybe they are hunt-and-peck typists and never learned better. Some posts I see are almost unreadable--with mistakes that go back to 2nd grade. At least we don't have illegible hand-writing to contend with, too!

I came to the board to look for anyone working on Henry Zachariah Guthrie, born in South Carolina around 1820. Any connections you know of? He lived in Georgia, fought in the Civil War and was injured, and died in Alabama.

Re: Guthery VS Guthrie ?

jog49 — 2009-10-30 19:28:05Z

By the way, this family looks like some of the David Guthrie (b. ca. 1764) family that went from Franklin Co., VA. to Pendleton District (now Anderson Co.), SC. Is
that correct or have you gotten that far?

Re: Guthery VS Guthrie ?

dalerich88 — 2009-10-30 19:02:22Z

Thank you for the reply and your time.

Re: Guthery VS Guthrie ?

jog49 — 2009-10-30 17:59:16Z

The farther back in history you go, the less education any particular person possessed. People charged with duties of a legal nature were required to read and write but were not
necessarily proficient with those requirements. When an odd name was encountered, these recorders usually spelled it phonetically (which wasn't always the correct spelling).
Going back at least 600 years in Scottish history, the only name for this family was GUTHRIE and had a Norse meaning of "a high and windy place", if memory serves me correctly.
With origins in eastern Scotland, the Guthries, likely, have a great deal of Scandinavian blood as they settled and intermingled with the people they found there. With the word Guthrie found in their vocabulary, it all sort of makes sense to me.
Anyway, Guthery, Guthrey, Guthry, Guttery, Gutry, Gutherie, etc. were all phonetic attempts at spelling Guthrie over the course of many hundreds of years. With your Thomas Guthery family example, I would just chalk it up to they got back to the correct spelling of the name. However it might currently be spelled though, it's the same family group, in totality.

Guthery VS Guthrie ?

dalerich88 — 2009-10-29 19:12:26Z

The family of Thomas Guthery 1856-1926 and wife Margaret Long had numerous children. Starting with child James M. brn 1895 thier 4th or 5th child, the last named changed spelling from Guthery to Guthrie. Anybody know why?

John Guthrie in Ayr

emcee4 — 2009-09-18 21:46:03Z

Does anyone have any information regarding the John Guthrie
who is listed at Wallacetown, Ayr in the 1841 census please.

Re: John R. Guthrie-Tennessee.

jog49 — 2009-08-19 14:17:15Z

Find John R. Guthrie's death certificate and it should list both his father and mother as well as place of birth. From what you've listed, he would have lived to a time when death certificates were mandatory.

James Guthrie and Jane Carnes

larryjguthrie — 2009-08-18 22:45:57Z

Are there any researchers reading who are descendants of James and Jane?

If so would you email me directly. Larry at yrralguthrie@yahoo.com

I would very much like to see a descendant of those two have a y-dna test done. James is said to be a descendant of the historical Guthrie's in Scotland and if so it might help find an emigrant to the US.

Re: Bessie (Essie) Guthrie

larryjguthrie — 2009-08-05 03:42:26Z

Look in the Social Security Death Index. Almost certainly these two will be there.

Just searching on Bessie Moringo returns many entries.

However a search for Zachary Taylor Moringo I found this one in Laurel, Mississippi. 427-07-9310.

If you cannot find Bessie, try to find a source for the SS applications. They will likely have spouses information.

As a former employee, I saw that the company commissioned a history of the company on the centennial of its founding. The book should have a Library of Congress catalog number. As I recall, the book was about 200 pages with pictures of the founders, ships, companies owned, and other historical documents.

colemj117 — 2009-08-18 01:41:40Z

Hello!

I need some help. My great grandmother was Gertrude E. Guthrie, who was born 1903 in Nashville. What I need help on is her parents, John R. and Mollie T/F Guthrie. I have them living in the Nashville area from 1910-1930. John was born around 1860/1862 and Mollie around 1866. I am having absolute trouble finding John's parents. I have one census clue from 1870, giving John Guthrie's parents as Robert H. and Martha L. But the birthdate is 1858. Does anyone have any help they could offer? Thank you!

Dear John
I'm so happy to have found your post. The heroine (Nora Lape) would have been my grandmother.
We have not been (up to this point) to find anything on her, as my father Dedrick L. Lape and his twin sister Dorothy were both sent to an orphanage at about age 5, in about 1910. Apparently the mother died and story was told that the father died too, but we believe he just left and can find no traces of him (William J. Lape)
I am hoping to find Nora's death notice somewhere, if you should run into anything of any names of William J. or Nora please contact me.

Thank you so much for all your research.

John Guthrie was my dads uncle. I remember him to sadley he past away. I do have little memeries of him but ones I do are that he had a puppet monkey and he would bring it out for my brother and me. Dad says that when customers came into the shop he would show the monkey to kids as a wee joke.

Glen,

I am awaiting results of a yDNA test performed on a distant cousin; a direct descendant of our common ancestor Dempsey (Lee?) Guthrie who we believe to be the son of Levi. At minimum I hope to see if we link up with other NC Guthries from that same time or if I have been chasing gooses.

Re: George Washington Guthrie

alliedvan — 2009-09-17 22:45:45Z

The Cyrus Bacon you are looking into seems to be my GGfather on my mother's side. My Gfather, named Bert (according to my aunts) Bacon died in the 40's I believe. My mother Collen born in 1931, the youngest and a few more sibling were raised in the Corvalis State Children's Work Farm from about 1933 or so. She married William James Petrie at age 16 and never again lived in Oregon. Some lived there until just a few years ago, my Aunt Katherine passed and was the last of that generation. My father was in the military so we (I) never had contact with our family. I did connect with Katherine about 8-10 yrs ago and started to learn some of my family history, quite a chore. Many Bacon's are buried in Cornleius, OR. Bacona did exist, I have been there. Only one old house and a logging road named NW Bacona Ridge RD, about 8 miles north of Buxton, OR. I even found an old map showing it. I do have a pictures of Cyrus and his wife I believe as well some of Bert-Wert Bacon's children. If this sounds right you can email me at alliedvan@aol.com
