A minor correction to the Guthrie post: The children of Jackson and Mary L Guthrie were all born in Illinois. Jackson Guthrie was born Ky, and his parents both born TN. His wife Mary L, born Ky, her father born Ky and her mother born NC. The Census is Bowling Green Twp., p. 2, 1 June 1880. "in the 1880 IL census, Bowling Green Twp, Fayette County: 1 Jackson GUTHRIE (62) with wife Mary L. (56) were both born in KY as was your Polly. children: Albert (30); Cynthia (22), John F. (22) --- TWINS?? Samuel (21) and a grandson, Willie Fleming (7) Some children born in KY and some in IL. Jackson was born in 1818 which could make him a possible brother to Polly, born 1803 in Cumberland Co, KY. 2 Carlin GUTHRIE (38) with wife Mary (25) were both born in IL. His parents were born in KY and hers in TN -- maybe Jackson & Mary's son?? chidlren: Alice (4) and Oscar (2) Hope this is of some help to you. Sorry I didn't record the page numbers of the census, but Uncle Albert GUTHRIE is a by-marriage uncle. I am working on his children, however, and expect more from his daughter Doris JONES in St.Elmo. His four children are my 1st cousins, one generation removed.> in the 1880 IL >census, Bowling Green Twp, Fayette County: > 1 Jackson GUTHRIE (62) with wife Mary L.
