The John Paul Guthrie that you have posted is my grandfather. I attended his 100th birthday party in Louisiana. My mother was married to Toney Guthrie, my father. Toney Guthrie is the son of John Paul Guthrie. Toney Guthrie is deceased. John Paul Guthrie's SSN is 434-48-4779 it was issued in Ardmore or Carter Oklahoma. My mother told me that indeed John Paul Guthrie fathered 21 children and was married 3 times. I know three of his childrens names, Toney, James, Christine and there may have been a child named Paul. Social Security Administration records indicate that John Pauls date of birth was 11-6-1866 and his date of death was 12-19-1968. I think perhaps you may be a half-sister of mine. (if your father was Toney Guthrie). I know I have several half brothers and sisters living in Louisiana. They are; Mark (deceased), Cindy, Gail, Joe, I believe there is also a Carrie and a Wanda and some that I can't remember their names. I have met Cindy and Joe. Last I knew, Cindy lived in Shreveport. If John Paul Guthrie was your Grandfather and your father is not Toney Guthrie, then you would be a cousin. email me back at zshooie@aol.com or gmrkj@aol.com and let me know who your father is. Take care, Amanda
