Surnames: GUTHRIE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IBh.2ACIB/1223.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Fred, I was just passing along some information I recalled seeing on the SC Guthries when I was trying to trace Guthries who had migrated from Halifax Co., VA. and Person Co., NC to SC. I remember finding the Guthries in and about Abbeville who were not related to the migratory Guthries I mentioned. There was some information available about this line having gone to the upstate from a Charleston portage. These folks would appear to be your line. I have no link to these people nor do I have any information that I can send to you. It is certainly a strong and logical progression for your line to have gone from Abbeville to Elbert Co., GA. Strange as it may seem, I actually worked in Abbeville, SC in the early 1970s and had employees under my supervision that lived in Elbert Co., GA. and commuted to work in Abbeville. It is very close geographically. I think you need to establish the Abbeville to Charleston tie and you will have your Guthrie history in this country. Happy hunting!
