Notes: Walter Guthrie was born in Montrose, Angus, Scotland. He was a merchant who settled in Stockholm, Sweden in 1614. They may have had other children. I have not successfully traced their line. Our participant is a Guthrie descendant from Sweden.

WILLIAM GUTHRIE – of Middlesex County, Virginia
Born between 1686-1700, location unconfirmed, probably Virginia
Died 1781-1782 in Middlesex County, Virginia
Spouse #1: Lettice Burk (1693-1727) m. 24 Jan 1716 in Christchurch Parish, Middlesex County, Virginia
Children: 3
Elizabeth ‘Betty’ (1718), Ann (1722), Rachel (1723)

Children: 9

William Guthrie/Lettice Burk > Elizabeth Guthrie/Robert Chowning > Charles Chowning/Mildred Stephens > Robert Chowning/Mildred Walker > Ezra Walker Chowning/Elizabeth Samuel > Sanford Chowning/Elizabeth Chism > William B Chowning/Mary Lou McCann (GGP) // Theory: GFG1A

Notes: This is probably a GFG1A lineage. The connection to Christchurch Parish, Middlesex, VA makes a strong case. The project also has a match for GFG1A to the descendants of William Guthrie & Mary Magdalene Roarke and William is potentially the son of William Guthrie & Frances Wilbourn. To prove the generational connections we need a male Guthrie who directly descends from one of William’s other sons: Benjamin, John, or Samuel for comparative testing.

William Guthrie/Clementine Thomas > Martin Luther Guthrie/Millie Wilkins > William Early Guthrie/Delia N Hodge (GGP)

Notes: William M Guthrie is designated as a Thickety Creek Guthrie. He is found living in that region with other Guthrie families which are likely related. He was the administrator of the Frederick Guthrie estate. Frederick was born in 1763, so William could potentially be the youngest son of the family.
