Thanks to those that answered my query. One answer: Emigration is to leave. Immigration is to settle - or colonize. So: emigrated from... and immigrated to: But I have another question: If one emigrates must one also immigrate? :) No answers needed. Larry lguthrie@brightok.net

The following is my answer to an individual seeking information on her Guthrie ancestory born just prior to the Revolutionary War. Trying to trace ancestry back through the Revolutionary War period is problematical. It has been suggested that many records of this period were destroyed by the British during the Revolutionary War and that is no doubt true. I think that in addition to the war this was a period of great movement and that records were just not kept. Can't blame everything on the British. The internet has helped us spread the genealogy knowledge that we have around to more folks, but it has been a dissapointment in that very, very little new information has turned up. While some folks are "discovering their ancestry" they are discovering it from information that has been known for several decades. So far as I know no new previously unknown information on the Guthrie's has turned up due to the internet. All my Guthrie data can be documented from old books. In one case I found information from the 1600's that had never been reported, but it was found in a book first published in the 1960's. We're not going to find much additional information from printed records or from public records. These sources have been mined out and the tailings mined several times. Family legends are useless. The only new source of information we have is DNA testing. It's going to be useful when the database gets large enough. Then we'll be able to compare lines of descent and logically figure out which are related and whom the common ancestor has to be. It won't always help fill in the name of a missing generation, but it will help us get past the missing generation. It may not give us the father's name, but maybe the grandfather or gt-grandfather. It'll also tell us who is not our ancestor. An individual to be tested must be a male Guthrie descendant. If you aren't a male Guthrie then you'll have to find one in the line you want tested. Tests cost from $99 to $230. Sounds like a lot, but I've paid many times that for gasoline, programs for the computer, DSL internet, and other researchers. I can email you a price list and invitation to join the Guthrie database. We presently have 8 members in the Guthrie DNA database. We're gaining about one new member a month. Why don't you help us grow faster? Email me directly for more information. Larry lguthrie@brightok.net

Most of the time when a reference is made to the Middlesex Co., VA Guthrie's the reference is to one Guthrie family found in the Middlesex Christ Church records, John Guthrie who married Elizabeth Baskett and their known children. John Guthrie (son of the above) who married three times, first to Sarah Stiff (no know children), second to Jane Mitcham four children (Jane baptized March 7, 1713, John born August 16, 1716, Nanny or Ann born January 1, 1718, and William born February 14, 1723 died in April 1723). third to Mary Shay 4 children Garritt (born February 19, 1724, Henry born January 8, 1727, William and James twins born April 19, 1729) It appears that John remainded in Middlesex Co., VA and died there. William died as an infant. Henry is probably the Henry that married Penelope Johnson. Garritt most likely moved to the area that is now NE Person Co., NC. This is adjacent to Halifax Co., VA. Garritt's route to Person Co., was not direct as he probably had one or more children in counties he passed through. He lived very close to the VA/NC border, certainly within a mile or so and perhaps within a few hundred yards. He and his descendants probably did some of their business in Halifax Co., VA. William is probably the chain carrier found on a survey party in the Person Co., NC area in 1755. There are NO PROVEN links from any of the children of John and Mary Shay to any later Guthrie's. Furthermore many of the folks that would like to trace their ancestry back to Middlesex Co., make the mistake of trying to trace to the above Guthrie's. There were more Guthrie's in the area. There was a John Guthrie on the north shore of the Poropatank river in Middlesex Co., VA. The original land grant for 277 acres dated 1691. His ancestors can be traced for 3 generations before the trail ends. There was a William Guthrie who married first Lettice Burk, in 1716 and second Frances Wilbourn in 1728. Their children and some of their grandchildren are recorded in the Christ Church records. In 1695, Edward Guthrie was awarded 600 acres for importing 12 persons. This grant was in King and Queen County, but only a few miles west of the Middlesex Co., line. probably five miles from John Guthrie and Mary Shay. Some of the Halifax Co., VA Guthrie's appear to be descendants of Edward. Daniel Guthrie is first mentioned in the records in 1702. He was running the ferry from the Guthrie's to West Point, VA. Probably a son of Edward. May have moved to Pasquotanck Co., NC 1677—A list of bills and accounts due to the estate of Mr. Robert Berkingham as follows…William Guttery…Mr. Benjamin Guderry. Will Abstracts of Lancaster Co., VA. Middlesex Co., was formed from Lancaster Co. I don't know how all these Guthrie's were related. They all lived within a mornings ride of each other. It appears that John of Middlesex, John of Poropatank, Edward of King and Queen and William of Middlesex were comtempories. This of course means there were four Guthrie lines that came out of Middlesex Co., VA and the adjacent King and Queen Co., VA. I have much more on these Guthrie's. By the way ALL the published books on these Guthrie's have mistakes. Some of the mistakes mix the lines up. Email me for more information. Larry lguthrie@brightok.net

The one I was seeking information about applied for his pension in Halifax Co., VA. and lived there until his death in 1832. I'm not sure there's any connection between the Halifax Co., NC Guthries and the Hanover Co., VA. Guthries. The William who was responsible for the Halifax Co., NC Guthries likely was of the Middlesex group as best I recall.
