This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Guthrie Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IBh.2ACIB/1152.2.1.1 Message Board Post: I believe the Franklin Co., VA. Guthries will be related to the Middlesex Co. Guthries, either from William or James who are children of John Guthrie. Check with Larry Guthrie in OK as he is much more of an authority on the early Guthries than I. Also check the Franklin Co. records as there are a couple of wills there for Guthries from the second half of the 1700s that may help you.
