My earliest proven Guthrie ancestor was Joseph Guthrie, born June 1810, South Carolina, married Sarah Jones about 1830, and died about 1855 in Henderson County, Texas. Joseph was closely related to Edmond and Ephriam Guthrie of South Carolina and Arkansas who settled with him in Texas, both sons of Frederick Guthrie, but I don't know how they are related. Joseph could possibly be a nephew or a brother of Edmond & Ephriam. Joseph and Sarah Jones Guthrie had the following children: 1. Jonathan Guthrie - born 1831 South Carolina 2. William Lewellyn Guthrie - born 1832 South Carolina 3. Andrew Jackson Guthrie - born 1834 South Carolina 4. Lucinda Guthrie - born 1837 South Carolina 5. James V. Guthrie - born 1838 North Carolina 6. Smith Guthrie - born 1840 North Carolina 7. Louis J. Guthrie - born 1842 North Carolina 8. Edmond Jones Guthrie - born 1844 Tennessee Joseph Guthrie's parents have been my brick wall for about 25 years now!! Thanks, Carolyn Garner ce.garner@verizon.net
