Surnames: Guithrie Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IBh.2ACIB/1223.1.1.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Morris, I don't recall the details because of the long time lapse but there were Guthries who arrived at the port of Charleston in the mid to late 1700s that settled the upstate area of SC. It seems like they were in the Union Co. area but I can't recall. There were a few Guthries from the Person Co., NC area and a few from the Halifax Co., VA. area who also settled in and about Union Co. so keeping them straight is tricky. I only mention this group because a natural migration would have been from SC to GA........and then to points more westerly.
