Chester, PA
A collection of GUTHRIE data found in CHESTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
1790
Located on the DE border, Chester County is one of the 3 original counties formed by William Penn in 1682. The county borders stretched west across the entire territory. In 1729, with the formation of Lancaster County to the west, Chester’s county borders were shaped as you see them in the map below. Chester did not become an inland county until 1789 with the formation of Delaware County on its southeast side.
CHESTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA ARCHIVES
Chester County, PA is a prime location for Guthrie Family Group 2A – Branches B, H, and I, although there are some records on the list below for other branches of the group. Neighboring Delaware was also home to the group’s Branch C as well as unrelated GFG6 lineages.
Notes:
Samuel Guthrie is likely the GFG2A-Branch C progenitor Samuel Guthrie c1700-1746DE who married Mary MNU and purchased land in New Castle County, DE in 1737. Amongst his children are sons named Adam and Robert. He is a good candidate to be the 4th unidentified son of John Guthrie Sr.
Robert Guthrie of Fallowfield and Nantmeal are believed to be the same man. This is the Robert Guthrie identified by LRG to be Robert Guthrie the Ironmonger of Edinburgh (Branch B) and brother to John and James.
The Londonderry & Oxford entries above and below are for John Guthrie 1708IRE-1790PA from GFG2A-Branch H.
Archibald Guthery is likely to be the theorized father of GFG2A-Branch D lines John (1744) and Archibald (1753). He was listed as a private during the French and Indian War and made a New Purchase application for a 300 acre tract in Westmoreland County, PA in 1769.
Robert Guthrie of East Nottingham is supposed to be the son of GFG2A’s Branch C’s Samuel Guthrie who died single in 1750. Does that mean the Nottingham entries for Adam Guthrie are likely to be Robert’s brother/Samuel’s son Adam Guthrie?
Adam Guthrie of West Nantmeal is GFG2A-Branch B. Husband to Mercy Irwin.
James Guthrie of West Caln is either James Guthrie the Ironmonger of Edinburgh or his designated son James Guthrie. The son was born in 1731 and would be 18-19 by the first of the entries.
Adam Guthrie of West Nantmeal & East Caln – GFG2A-Branch B
James Guthrie of West Caln & East Caln – GFG2A-Branch I
John Guthrie of Oxford – GFG2A-Branch H
Samuel Futhey? of West Fallowfield – unknown if a transcription error
William Guthrie of Tredyffrin – unknown
There are frequent entries for James Guthrie who owned a tavern called the Plow and Harrow in East Caln Township. These tavern petitions were either accepted or turned down for various reasons.
Categories:
A – Allowed (license granted)
D – Disallowed (no license granted)
B – Bond
R – Remonstrance (petition against the issuance of a tavern license)

There is a long biography for Frank P. Darlington, the 4th of 5 sons of Amos H. and Sarah H. Darlington, born 1 June 1850, in East Bradford township, Chester, PA. I will not copy the whole article, but simply include the important info on the Darlington ancestors, which might apply to Branch B.
“The Darlingtons of Chester County are descended from Job and Mary Darlington, of Darnhall, Cheshire, England, two of whose sons, Abraham and John, emigrated to America prior to 1711, and settled near the town of Chester, in what is now Delaware county. John, the younger of these two brothers, finally removed to Maryland, and his history and that of his descendants, if any, has become obscure and uncertain.”
“Abraham Darlington married Deborah Carter, a daughter of Joseph Carter, and after her death without issue, in 1716, he wedded Elizabeth Hillborn, a daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Hillborn, of Bucks County, and became the progenitor of the numerous family of Darlingtons in Chester county and its vicinity.”
10 Children: Mary, Deborah, Elizabeth, Abraham, Thomas, John, Hannah, Rachel, Job, and Rebecca.
Based on the dates given here, it seems unlikely to me that Robert Guthrie’s wife could be a Darlington daughter. Even if she was the first child born that would still make her only about 10 when the Guthrie children were estimated to be born. However, they are only estimates.
I have still not found any source besides LRG that mentions a Guthrie-Darlington link for Branch B. If anyone wants a scan of the full Frank P. Darlington bio or the one for John H. Darlington, please ask.
pp.654-656
John H. Darlington, the eldest of two sons of Job & Lydia (Huey) Darlington, born Feb 11, 1850, in East Bradford township, near West Chester.
“The old, numerous and distinguished Darlington family of Chester county was founded in the early years of the eighteenth century by Abraham Darlington, an English Quaker, who came over with his brother John from Darnhall, Cheshire, and settled in Aston township, Chester (now Delaware) county, Pennsylvania.”
The remainder of the 3-page article is similar to that of his cousin Frank P. Darlington above, with additional details on his own Darlington line of descent.
