The wife that is a descendent of mine was Desdia Belle Freeman. I believe he was married at least 8 times. I haven't found other marriages, but my grandmother said he had been married 8 times and had outlived all of them but the last one. I believe he just missed 90 years old by one day. He had seven children with Desda. One died at the age of 13. Her dress caught on fire while they were making lye soap and died from complications from being burnt. My grandmother was the oldest and was responsible for helping to raise the rest of the children. GG Thomas Guthrie lived in Louisiana, MO when he died.
