ORIGIN THEORIES for GFG8A – BRANCH B

Nelson Guthrie is frequently found in online trees as John Nelson Guthrie, but I have not found an original record listing the forename John. The source may be family letters which have been referenced, but I have not seen copies for verification.

Nelson is also found incorrectly attached to parents from the Middlesex, VA line (GFG1A), which is not genetically related to his descendants.

The genetic Y-DNA (direct paternal line) profile matches GFG8. The earliest known couple for this group is Branch A’s Thomas & Mary (Cason) Guthrie. Nelson is of the right age to be a grandson of that couple, or might descend from a related collateral line.

Nelson Guthrie spent at least 30 years of his adult life in Lincoln County, NC. Carter Guthrie, whose name is found as a bondsman on his marriage license to Catherine Lowe, and is therefore a likely relative, is enumerated in the 1800 census. This would seem to indicate that Nelson might also be living there with his parents as early as 1800. An examination of the census records shows a cluster of Guthrie households there. Nelson would only be about 12 years old in 1800. There are 2 Guthrie households with boys aged 10-15. Francis Guthrie and Thomas Guthrie are potential fathers for Nelson.

We do not currently have a direct descendant of these other families in our Y-DNA Project to confirm the connection. Testing that line would also reveal if the Vaughan Y-DNA profile extends beyond Nelson’s line of descendants.

More recent surname matches to men of the GFG8A profile are Carter and McCarter, which might indicate some significance in the naming of Nelson’s son, Carter Guthrie.

NELSON GUTHRIE
1830NC-Unknown

Nelson Guthrie was born about 1830 in Lincoln County, NC. He moved to Tippah County, MS with his parents and was enumerated in the 1850 census. That is the last notation I have for Nelson Guthrie. No further data collected.

Children: Unknown

MARY CATHARINE GUTHRIE
1832NC-About 1858TN

The 1850 census indicates that Mary Guthrie was born about 1832. Like her brother Daniel, she married in Hardeman County, TN. Her husband was John W Riggs. They were married in November 1856. It appears that Mary died during or soon after childbirth. Both John and their daughter M C (presumably also Mary Catharine) were listed with the Rainey family during the 1860 census. John remarried on 5 Mar 1861 in Tippah, MS to Martha C. Proctor (his wife’s niece..see above). John died in 1867.

Isaac Guthrie was born about 1844 in Lincoln County, NC. He is listed in the 1850 census as a 6 year old, but is not found in the 1860 census. His mother Catherine had died in 1855. It is possible that he died prior to 1860, or that he was being cared for by friends or relatives. No further data found.

HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS

About 1788: BIRTH of NELSON GUTHRIE
Virginia, USA

The 1850 and 1860 censuses list Nelson Guthrie’s birthplace as Virginia. The 1870 census lists it as North Carolina.

About 1789: BIRTH of CATHERINE LOWE
Maryland, USA

Descendants claim that Catherine was adopted by Thomas Lowe in 1796, the same year as his marriage to Martha ‘Patsy’ Guthrie in Lincoln County, NC indicating that Catherine is probably Patsy’s child by a previous marriage. This infers that Patsy was not a Guthrie by birth, but by marriage.

Thomas Lowe and Martha ‘Patsy’ Guthrie’s marriage presumably occurred in Lincoln County, NC. Patsy’s birth location was Orange County, Virginia. Catherine was born in Maryland. If Catherine was a Guthrie by birth her branch would likely have a MD connection.

About 1843: MARRIAGE of DAUGHTER – MARTHA ‘PATSY’ GUTHRIE

Patsy’s marriage to Simpson Bryant presumably occurred in Tippah County prior to the birth of their first child in 1844. The Mississippi State and Territorial Census collection places Simpson Bryant there by 1845. Patsy and Simpson were parents to Catherine (1844), Mary (1848), Robert Nelson (1849), Sarah Frances (1853), and Elisha (1856). They moved to Benton County, MS between 1870-1880. Patsy died sometime after the 1880 census, probably in Benton County, MS. Simpson was still living there during the 1900 census. His death occurred after 1900.

About 1847: MARRIAGE of SON – WILLIAM JEFFERSON GUTHRIE
Tippah County, Mississippi, USA, reportedly

William J Guthrie married Martha Abigail (MNU) about 1847. According to the Cash Entry Patents for land in Tippah County, MS, William J Guthrie obtained property there in 1847 and 1848, so it is possible that the marriage did occur there. They had 7 children: John Albertis (1849), James Osborn (1850), Martha (1851), Mary (1852), Richard (1854), Agnes (1857), Nancy (1859). They lived in Tippah, MS through the 1860 census. When som of the family moved north to Illinois, William and Martha went with them. She died in Jerseyville, Jersey County, Illinois on 21 Feb 1864 and is buried at Lax Cemetery. William moved to Lamar County, Texas where his brother and other family had settled. He wrote his will on 22 July 1871 and died on 30 July 1871.

1848: MARRIAGE of SON – DANIEL G GUTHRIE
Hardeman County, Tennessee, USA 17 January 1848.

Daniel Guthrie married Nancy Rainey in Tennessee. Hardeman County is located on the TN-MS state line and Tippah County, Mississippi is located on its southern border.

Tippah County, Mississippi, USA

James N Guthry born 22 Jun 1829, died 10 Oct 1851 (aged 22) buried at Mount Moriah Cemetery in Walnut, Tippah, MS.

The DOB is right based on the 1830 estimate. The DOD is also appropriate as Nelson Guthrie is enumerated at age 20 on the 1850 census with his parents and then afterward is no longer found in the records.

1855: DEATH of WIFE – CATHERINE (LOWE) GUTHRIE
Tippah County, Mississippi, USA

No details found.

1856: MARRIAGE of DAUGHTER – MARY CATHERINE GUTHRIE
Hardeman County, Tennessee, USA in November 1856

Like her brother Daniel, Mary Catherine Guthrie married in Hardeman County, Tennessee, just north of the MS-TN state line. The groom was John W Riggs. They had 1 daughter who is documented as “M C Riggs” in the 1860 census record with John, who was already a widower. Mary Catherine’s death may have occurred about 1858 at the time of MC’s birth. Likely that her daughter is named Mary Catherine for her mother. John remarried on 5 Mar 1861 in Tippah to Martha Catherine Proctor. He died in 1867 and Martha in 1881.

Findings:

Our Y-DNA Participant has tested at the Y-111 marker level matching GFG8A’s Group Mode DNA (most common value at any given marker) 110/111.

DYS643 = 9 versus Group Mode = 10. Unique to this kit. Likely a recent or random genetic change not significant to the group as a whole.

One of the most common surname matches continues to be Vaughan / Vaughn. This is mirrored in the Autosomal DNA kits, which have many more matches to people of Vaughan/Vaughn ancestry than this of Guthrie ancestry.
