Ungrouped Guthrie Families · F–J
Explore the families, compare the evidence, and help document the next connection.
These families await a supported connection to an established Guthrie Family Group. James Guthrie and Anne Jane Kilpatrick now have a referral to GFG18.
Reading this directory: Dates marked approximate, reported, proposed, or unverified remain research leads. Participant pedigrees are submitted paths; listing a path does not prove every relationship.
DNA evidence: Family Finder and other autosomal tests examine ancestry across many lines. Y-DNA compares a direct father-to-son line. A broad haplogroup or a surname match alone cannot establish a family group or explain a paternal-line change. Independent branches and documentary evidence matter.
Abbreviations: GGP = great-grandparents; GP = grandparents; MNU = maiden name unknown; FNU = first name unknown. “+more” indicates additional generations not displayed. Research-tree links may require an Ancestry sign-in.

Evidence & Research Notes
Frederick’s Revolutionary War pension declaration was made on 12 December 1845 under the Act of 7 June 1832, with additional testimony dated 16 April 1846. The act’s date is not his application date. See pension file R4396.
The property note identifies an indenture from Matthew Guttry to Frederick Guttry dated 9 March 1795, for £5 sterling: 100 acres, one moiety of a 200-acre tract on both sides of Thicketty Creek originally granted to Matthew in April 1786. The entry also cites 13 September 1799. This was a conveyance for consideration; the supplied note does not establish it as a veteran’s land reward.
Kit 690456 represents a male Guthrie with Family Finder only. There is no Y-DNA result for that participant. The updated submitted path uses Emily Torrance; other participants’ submitted spelling variants are retained.

Helen Guthrie
proposed Guthrie–Makemie connection
Birth and death dates and places unproved
Reported spouse: Robert Makemie; marriage unproved
Reported children: Francis, Robert, John, Anne; their parentage through Helen is unproved
Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
The Guthrie–Makemie Family Focus review found no proof that Robert Makemie married Helen Guthrie, or that she was the mother of the reported children. Helen’s existence as described in these pedigrees, as well as her dates and places, remains unverified. The previously reported birth of 1636 in Donegal and death of 1708 in Accomack County are unsupported.
Rev. Francis Makemie’s will, dated 27 April 1708, names his wife Naomi, daughters Elizabeth and Anne, brothers John and Robert, and youngest sister Anne in Ireland. It does not name his parents. The minister is Francis, without an established first name James. His death year must not be borrowed for Helen.
The directory previously reported children as “James Francis” (1658), Robert (1661), John (1664), and Anne (1668). These dates and their placement as Helen’s children remain unproved; the submitted descendant paths below are retained as reported pedigrees.
Robert McKimm and Helen Guthrie married at Cardross on 11 April 1697 and had children recorded in 1701–1713. That documented household is too late to supply the proposed parents of Rev. Francis, born about 1658. Connections from the later American Makemie families to Francis’s brothers also require evidence.

Evidence & Research Notes
The marriage record for Isaac and Sarah lists their occupations and fathers’ names. Isaac is listed as a “Cultivator” residing in St. Elizabeth Parish, while Sarah was a “Laborer” in Mulgrave District. His father is identified as John Guthrie, but without any additional identifying notes. Her father was Jacob Alexander Wright. Married by Linton Rashford. The witnesses were Eugene Tennent and Anna Jones.

James
James Guthrie
of Nether Drummochie, Largo, Fife, Scotland
Born about 1650s-1670s (Rough Estimate), presumably in Fife, Scotland
Died after 1692 presumably in Fife, Scotland
Spouse: Elizabeth Smyth m. 14 October 1696 in Largo, Fife, Scotland
Children attributed to James of Nether Drummochie: 4+; maternal assignments unproved
Jannet (1692), Hellen (1694), Margaret (1699), James (1703)
Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
The participant descends through Jannet, whose baptism names James Guthrie in Nether Drummochie. The supplied Largo index lists Jannet on 6 November 1692, Hellen on 6 October 1694, Margaret on 24 September 1699, and James on 25 April 1703, with only the father named.
James Guthrie and Elizabeth Smyth’s marriage is indexed on 14 October 1696, Largo, OPR 443, 20/430. The earlier children precede that marriage. Father-only entries do not establish their mother or imply illegitimacy; the project notes that most Fife OPR entries of this period name only the father.
Keep the James Guthrie / Elizabeth Smyth household distinct from James Guthrie / Margaret Guthrie, whose marriage is reported in 1702. Andrew’s entry on 26 September 1703 names James and Margaret. Children naming only James of Nether Drummochie need careful assignment. A further James is identified in records as being of Nether Largo. The submitted pedigree through Elizabeth remains qualified.

James Guthrie

Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
James and Elizabeth traveled to America in 1774 with their five daughters. Both parents fell ill and died on the voyage; this does not mean that the daughters also died. Their son Adam had remained in Ireland as heir to his uncle John Guthrie and subsequently made the journey to America.
Mistaken identity: keep this couple separate from GFG2A–Branch A’s James Guthrie (1720 Ireland–1800/1801 North Carolina) and Elizabeth, whose maiden name remains undocumented. That couple’s children were James, Mary, Ann, Robert, Margaret, Martha, Jean, and Elizabeth, associated with Ireland, Maryland, and Orange County, North Carolina.

Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
The earlier chain through John Guthrie / Margaret Leslie and James Guthrie / Agnes Ann Adam remains proposed.
The eighth child is James Guthrie, born 6 July 1800 in Banff, who remained in Scotland and died 6 September 1893 at Turriff, Aberdeenshire, aged 93; the project cites ScotlandsPeople statutory death records.
The family’s migration account places James and emigrating family members aboard the Julia Palmer in 1836, with Chicago as their destination. The son James remained in Scotland. The earlier blanket statement that every child was born in Rothiemay should not override the supplied Banff birthplace for James.

reported Scotland / County Donegal, Ireland connection
Dates unverified; reported death 1641 in Ireland
Reported spouse: William Patton
Children: 1 presumed
William Henry Patton (reported 1627)
Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
The reported husband is William Patton; William Henry Patton is the presumed son. The pedigree appears in many online trees, but corroborating evidence for the marriage and the Guthrie connection has not been established.
The former birth estimate of about 1620 is incompatible with the reported son’s birth in 1627. Neither that estimate nor the reported 1641 death should be treated as a verified date. Scotland versus Ireland remains unresolved.
Y-DNA cannot pass through Jean to her descendants. A Guthrie paternal-line comparison would require a documented male-line relative of her birth family. For a couple placed in the early 1600s, a reliably attributable autosomal match is unlikely. The submitted pedigree is preserved with these limitations.

John Guthrie
of Cardross, Dunbarton, Scotland
Probable parents of Sarah Bain’s husband: Thomas Guthrey & Jean McKim (also recorded in the research pedigree as Guthrie / McKym)
Probable baptism: 16 April 1727 in Cardross, Dunbarton, Scotland
Died after 1783 in Scotland
Spouse: Sarah Bain m. 9 December 1766 in Cardross, Dunbarton, Scotland

Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
The 16 April 1727 entry is a baptism: “John son to Thomas Guthrey and Jean McKim spouses living in Bar was baptized.” This establishes those parents for the baptized child.
John Guthrie and Sarah Bain married at Cardross on 9 December 1766, described as “both in this parish.” The project’s OPR search found only this John Guthrie birth/baptism in Cardross during 1710–1740. That supports identifying the baptized child with Sarah’s husband, but the identity across the two records remains probable rather than conclusively proved.

Mistaken Identities: Found in a number of trees as John Guthrie (carter) & Rachel Wick from Orkney, SCT
Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
The supplied marriage transcription identifies John as a mason at No. 5 Castle Barns, with Rachel Law at the same address, both in St Cuthbert’s parish. Rachel was the fourth daughter of the late William Law, farmer at Bellfield in the parish of Lanark.
The 1855 New York census places John, aged 26, with Rachel, Elizabeth, and an infant Rachel in Rochester, Ward 1. In 1860, John, aged 30 and a stone cutter, was in Detroit, Ward 7, with Rachel, Elizabeth, Anna, and William. These ages suggest birth about 1829–1830.
The supplied headstone index records death on 3 October 1864 and Company E, 7th Michigan Cavalry. Find a Grave agrees on the death and identifies wife Rachel and daughters Elizabeth Gilbert and Rachel L. Short, but gives birth in 1827 at Cupar, Fife. The birth details remain discrepant.
A separate military abstract gives birth about 1819, enlistment on 18 February 1863 at White Lake, muster on 20 February, a transfer from Company E to K on 30 November 1863, and a reference to Battery K, 1st Light Artillery. It also says he survived the war and repeats the muster date as a muster-out date. These conflicting indexed details require reconciliation with the original service record before being adopted for Rachel’s husband.

Kit 189979 is an Ungrouped Y37 result from 2010, reported R-M269, with no autosomal test. The supplied export has 67 matches at distances 0–4; 45 list Henry as their surname, with one additional Hendry. It lists no Guthrie-surname match.
An independent, documented paternal branch is needed to determine how widely this profile applies to the reported family. The surname matches do not identify the generation or circumstances of a paternal-line change. Kits 9685 and B177014 below are separate autosomal participants.
Online trees link John Guthrie to a 1850 census for Burleson, TX, which lists a John Guthrie born in 1830 AL, his parents John and Mary, and siblings. This is an error. That record belongs to the family of John Franklin Guthrie 1802-1858 and wife Mary Swoap. Their son, John Franklin Guthrie Jr was born in AL, married Mary Thompson in Burleson in 1852, and died in TX in 1901. The family of John Guthrie and Fordella Williams have no known connection to Texas.

Jonathan Wiley Guthrie is identified as a doctor/farmer. The 1910 census places him in Enon, Winston County, Mississippi. Find a Grave reports death in 1916 and burial in Holy Rosary Church Cemetery, Philadelphia, Neshoba County, Mississippi.
Miles F., age 1, is the only child listed in the 1860 census. In 1870, Miles is absent and James is listed as age 10. Retain both reported names without calling them twins, assuming they were the same child, or inferring that Miles died.

Evidence & Research Notes
Judith’s placement as a provisional member of GFG1A–Branch B remains unchanged. Her documented marriage in Christ Church Parish, Middlesex County, does not establish that she was born there or identify her parents.
The proposed connection makes Judith an undocumented daughter of John Guthrie, son of John Guthrie and Elizabeth Baskett, with Jane Meacham/Mitcham proposed as the younger John’s second wife. Parentage remains unproved and the DNA evidence inconclusive. New documentary evidence would be needed to resolve the placement.
