Eighteen profiles under Walter and William, including the Middlesex family considered GFG1A and awaiting independent paternal-line verification.
Reading this directory: Participant paths, estimated dates, and proposed relationships remain research leads. Their inclusion does not prove every link. Disputed paths are labeled so they can be investigated without losing the submitted information.
DNA evidence: Autosomal matches can suggest connections but do not, by themselves, identify a particular shared Guthrie ancestor. Y-DNA comparisons investigate direct paternal lines. For a female Guthrie ancestor’s paternal ancestry, a suitable male-line relative of her birth family is needed.
Abbreviations: P = parents; GP = grandparents; GGP = great-grandparents; MNU = maiden name unknown. Research-tree links may require an Ancestry sign-in.
Walter · Scotland & Sweden
Walter Guthrie
of Montrose, Angus, Scotland & Sweden
Reported birth: 1579, Montrose, Scotland
Died in Sweden
Spouse: Agneta Griege / Greig / Grieg (reported birth 1572; death unknown) m. in Scotland
Children: 1 known
Jacobus Walter Guthraeus (11 October 1602–20 June 1661; see published account)
Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
This descendant line remained in Sweden. The participant’s tree supplies the form Jacobus Walter Guthraeus; the published account uses Jacobus Guthrie or Güthrie. The abbreviated female names Jacobsdotter Guthraea and Andreasdotter Therma are retained as submitted without inventing missing given names.
The Scots in Sweden, Part III, “Literaria,” PDF pages 8–9, describes Jacobus as born at Montrose on 11 October 1602 to Walter Guthrie and Agneta Greig or Grieg. It reports that his father brought the family to Stockholm in 1614. Walter’s reported 1579 birth and Agneta’s reported 1572 birth remain tree information; this passage does not establish those dates.
The account says that a brother already established as a Stockholm merchant was also named Walter. That repeated name is a source inconsistency requiring further investigation. The merchant description is explicitly attached to the brother in this passage and should not automatically be transferred to Jacobus’s father.
The same account describes Jacobus’s education at Örebro, Vesterås, and Upsala, his M.A. in 1630, and later clerical appointments. It gives his death as 20 June 1661 and reports a 1633 marriage to a daughter of the Dean of Gefle. The participant identifies his wife as Kerstin Anthelia. Other children of Walter and Agneta may have existed, but have not been traced in the project research.

William · Virginia & Georgia
William Guthrie
of Caroline County, Virginia
Born about 1763 in Unknown Location
Died after 1810, presumably in Virginia, USA
Spouse: Mary (MNU) – Theorized to be Marshall due to naming patterns.
Children: 3 known
Edmund (1784), Thomas (1786), Bartlett H (1788)
Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
Mary’s proposed Marshall surname remains a naming-pattern hypothesis. William Marshall Guthrie appears in the submitted paths as a grandson through Bartlett H. Guthrie, not as one of William and Mary’s three listed sons. Mary remains maiden name unknown.
Kit 756019’s path is corrected to Ethel Gertrude Guthrie, wife of Charles Mosier. No new evidence identifies the elder William’s birthplace or establishes Mary’s birth surname.

William Guthrie / Guthrey
of Virginia and Greene, Oglethorpe, & Walker, Counties, Georgia
Born about 1772, presumably in Virginia, USA
Died 5 May 1854 in Cassandra, Walker, Georgia, USA
Spouse: Mary “Polly” Musgrove; Charlotte / Warren appear in trees
Children: 5 known
Harrison (1809), Barnett (1809), Robert Musgrove (1811), Martha Jane (1820), William Olander (1825)
Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
Mary, also called Polly, appears in trees as Mary Charlotte and Mary Warren. The meaning of Warren is unresolved; no evidence of a Warren marriage is known. Family tradition describes her as a full-blooded Cherokee, but no supporting evidence has been established.
The project editor reports that Harrison Musgrove’s will, Oglethorpe County Will Book A, page 44, names a daughter Polly W Musgrove. This is a useful lead; identifying that daughter as William Guthrey’s wife requires a documented connection. A separately supplied historical-book reference may concern Mary herself or an earlier Musgrove generation; that identification remains unresolved.
Harrison and Barnett are both listed with an 1809 birth year. No documentation confirming twins has been supplied. The participant path and both children remain preserved.
Kit B741545’s test type has not been confirmed in this review. Its listing does not establish that the family has Y-DNA representation.

Independent paternal-line verification still needed.
Born between 1686-1700, location unconfirmed, probably Virginia

Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
The project considers this family to be GFG1A. Independent Y-DNA verification through another documented paternal line is still needed, with relatively few likely male-line descendants available.
The project has a GFG1A match among descendants of William Guthrie and Mary Magdalene Roarke. That William is a proposed son of William Guthrie and Frances Wilbourn. The generational connection remains unverified. A suitable documented male-line descendant through Benjamin, John, or Samuel would provide an independent comparison.
Mary, daughter of William and Frances, was born on 3 April 1730 and died on 5 May 1730. She cannot be Mary Guthrie Haggard. The two sons named William, born in 1731 and 1740, remain separately listed; no additional death dates were supplied in this review.
The two participant paths below descend through Elizabeth, daughter of William and Lettice. They are autosomal paths and do not supply the independent paternal-line Y-DNA comparison being sought.

Evidence & Research Notes
William’s death falls in July, August, or September 1861. The former 1761–1764 range was erroneous.
Anthony’s use of his mother’s Boggon surname as a given name does not by itself indicate illegitimacy. The supplied participant path retains Guthery and Guthrie as recorded variants.

Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
Jean, also called Jane, was a daughter of William Guthrie and Isobel Glenn, also listed as Glennie. Her first husband was William Ingram; their one son was George.
Jean married William Strachan on 24 September 1827 at Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. They had four sons and one daughter. Kit B429125’s submitted path names this second marriage, but no further lineage identifies which Strachan child connects to the participant.
The broad birth estimate for the elder William and his reported survival after 1802 remain approximate. No new group placement or test update has been supplied.

The supplied research-tree transcription identifies Thomas, son, and Margaret, daughter, of William Guthrie and Jean Christie in Frostyfold as born on 15 November 1822 and baptized on 1 December following. They were twins. The earlier son Thomas, born in 1815, remains separately listed; no death is inferred here.

William Guthrie (Mason’s Laborer)

Evidence & Research Notes
William’s birth record names his parents as William Guthrie and Jane Bone and describes the birth as illegitimate. His death record instead names his father as James Guthrie, cattle dealer. The discrepancy remains unresolved.
Jane is also found as Jean, and Bone as Boner. The participant path follows the father’s name in the birth record while explicitly preserving the conflicting death-record identification.

William Guthrie
of Ohio and Michigan
Possible Parents: Richard Guthrie & Mary Van Scoyoc
Born about 1837 in Ohio, USA
Death estimated before 1870, presumably Michigan; census-based, unconfirmed
Spouse: Sarah M Doty (November 1829–1904; see census estimates) m about 1853 presumably in Michigan
Children: 3
Alice (22 February 1854–29 August 1923), Frederick (about 1860), Tamar (about 1863)
Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
The 1860 census gives William’s birth about 1837. The marriage about 1853 remains an estimate. Sarah’s census birth estimates fall about 1828–1830; the research tree follows November 1829 from the 1900 census, replacing the former 1821 listing.
Alice’s Michigan death record gives her birth as 22 February 1854 and death as 29 August 1923, naming her parents as Wm Guthrie and Sarah Doty. Alice is the only child listed in 1860. In 1870 the children are Alice, Frederick, and Tamar. The 1900 census reports that Sarah had borne three children, all three living.
The revised research-tree child list is Alice, Frederick, and Tamar. Millie and William have been removed from that list. Millie Guthrie, wife of Charles Earl Royce, belongs to a different family: William Henry Guthrie and Sarah Maria Dimick of GFG2A–Branch F. The three participants formerly attached here have been transferred to that branch; see the transfer reference below.
William’s estimated death before 1870 is census-based. His absence does not establish an exact date, place, or cause of death. Richard Guthrie and Mary Van Scoyoc remain proposed parents; no new evidence resolves that identification.

William Guthrie
of Ireland / Pennsylvania / Ohio
Born on 20 June 1766 in Ireland
Died on 14 September 1848 in Poland, Mahoning County, Ohio
Spouse: Margaret Smith (1774-1849) m. before 1800, Pennsylvania; precise locality unverified
Children: 4
James Smith (1800), Elizabeth (1805), John (1809), Jane (18??)
Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
The marriage is reported as before 1800 in Pennsylvania. Its earlier Lawrence County label does not identify a known township and uses a county formed only in 1849. The precise marriage locality remains unverified.
The project’s migration note instead places the family in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, before the move to Ohio. William reportedly bought Ohio land in 1800 and settled there in 1804. These dates concern different events and are both retained.
Poland was in Mahoning County by William’s 1848 death. The county had been formed in 1846; Trumbull is an earlier jurisdiction relevant to researching the family’s Ohio history.

Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
The reported census age categories are 16 and over in 1790, 45 and over in 1800, and 45 and over in 1820. Taking the older adult male in the 1800 household as William suggests a birth about 1755 or earlier; this is an inference, not an exact birth date. The 1820 Tennessee census and family Bible records support the middle initial C.
The supplied 1800 census index labels his residence “Hillsborough, Wake, North Carolina.” That wording is retained as the index’s locality. The index includes seven enslaved people in the household. The project also records the family in Warren County in 1790.
The earliest currently identified record placing William in Lebanon, Wilson County, Tennessee, is the census dated 7 August 1820. Son John’s marriage to Chloe Babb in Wilson County in 1816 establishes John’s presence there; it does not by itself date his parents’ arrival.
The supplied published Bible transcription is headed “William C. Guthrie Bible” and identifies its then-custodian as descendant Walter Smithwick of Lebanon, Tennessee. It records Wm. C. Guthrie’s marriage to Obedience (Mucklerey) on 17 March 1784 and his death on 14 November 1823. Muckleroy is retained from the research tree as a surname variant.
The first eleven birth entries correspond to the eleven children listed here. The transcription also gives deaths for Henry on 24 October 1808, Sallie C. on 29 November 1839, Susanna L. on 19 September 1816, and William M. on 14 January 1822. Later birth and marriage entries extend into subsequent generations and have not been added as children of this couple.

Clementine Thomas’s death year is 1893. William’s middle initial M is retained as supplied; no expanded middle name has been established in this review.
William held land on Thickety Creek and served as administrator of Frederick Guthrie’s estate. These are geographic and estate associations that support further research but do not state a parent–child relationship.
The research tree attaches William to Frederick Guthrie, born in 1763, and Mollie for investigation, explicitly marked “Parents Unverified.” He may have been a younger son or another relative, but his parentage remains unproved. Local proximity alone does not assign him to a Guthrie Family Group.

Open for family notes & participant lineages
Evidence & Research Notes
Catholic records use Latin forms including Guilielmus, Gulielmus, and Gulielmi for William, and Margarita for Margaret. The supplied parish-register index names Gulielmus Guthrie, spouse Margarita Bergen, and child Ricarda Guthrie. The existing child list names Richard (1874); that index variation is retained for checking against the original register rather than silently changing the child’s identity.
The reported 10 December 1837 date remains in the profile, but the supplied index does not establish whether it is William’s birth or baptism date or identify his parish. Margaret’s reported birth and death range are likewise retained from the existing profile.
The 1900 Newark census household consists of son Thomas Guthrie, a shoemaker, his family, and his widowed mother Margaret. None of Thomas’s siblings is present. William had died before that enumeration; his place of death is unknown.
The existing census notes report immigration in 1888 for Thomas and his family and 1892 for Margaret. Thomas married in Surrey, England, and his two oldest children were born there before their move to America. It remains possible, but unproved, that William and Margaret also lived in Surrey.
The earlier profile reports seven or eight children, with four living in 1900, but that total remains unresolved. Thomas, Margaret, William, and Richard are the four children identified by name. Their absence from Thomas’s household does not establish the other siblings’ residences or deaths.
