Sallie and Charles Lewis. A Prince Edward deed names John Henry and Mary Ann Lewis as Charles’s children. A second deed, in 1822, names his son Robert Carter Lewis and records the transfer to him of Nelsey, an enslaved girl. Charles’s paternity is explicit. The deeds leave the children’s maternity unstated.

Ann and John Wheeler. Their Tennessee household includes Emily, John and Ladowski. An older daughter is suggested by the 1840 census. Ann belonged to this Cumberland family. The Nashville family of Henry Guthrie and Nancy Shackelford belongs to GFG5.

Walker. The reconstruction includes Henry W., George Alexander, Sarah, John M., William, Martha and Henrietta. After Walker’s death, Naoma and younger family members appear in New Madrid, Missouri. The earlier census households do not supply enough names to assign every birth to one of Walker’s two marriages.

Thomas and Catherine Cox. Their family includes Charles Henry, William, Judy Ann Rudd, Elizabeth Jane Reed, Martha Snyder and Catherine Drusilla Reed. William has relatively little documentation. A proposed daughter Elizabeth Sarah who married James Harp still needs a record connecting her to this couple. No known record establishes the frequently claimed twin birth.

Nancy and Gulielmus. The second marriage is associated with Judith Anderson Gillam, David M., Josiah, Marietta Seay and Nancy T. Seay. Josiah married Pocahontas Virginia Guthrie, daughter of Edward Travis Guthrie and Louisa Cook Garnett. Their descendants have Guthrie ancestry through both sides.

A connection noted by Ann Guthrie. George Price Seay, son of Benjamin Seay and Nancy Coleman, married Lillian Margaretta Durham, Ann’s great-grand-aunt. This is how Ann has cousins in this GFG4 family through her Durham relatives.

Henry Sidney. His family includes Marietta Womack Anderson, William Lillious, James Henry, Elizabeth Logan Chesterman, Willianna Patience Anderson, Samuel Watson and John Sims. The 1850 and 1860 census ages support a birth about 1840 for William Lillious. James Henry later lived in Texas.

Bernard identified himself as a son. He named Elizabeth as Henry Cox’s widow and Sarah as Charles Lewis’s wife. Nancy drops out of one early list, then appears explicitly among the eight minors with Polly, Ann, Walker, Thomas, David, Martha and Henry. Their uncle Alexander represented them in the suit. His appearance as guardian explains his name in the court minutes.

The four appointments made in September 1811 served a different purpose. An October order in the family packet directs a division of the widow’s dower after her death. It supplements the May order and the September guardianships. The case is indexed under 1815 although the petition and early orders belong to 1809. Cumberland chancery 1815-005 · Hoggard, Appendix 1 · case papers

The 68-acre Richardson tract and the roughly 100-acre Saunders tract can be followed in the deeds. The later Saunders conveyance addresses title to land already sold. The chancery papers describe 309 acres in the estate. The 165 acres the commissioners sold to Bernard account for only part of that total. The location and title of the balance still need to be established.

Bernard’s later deed places land north of the road from Ca Ira to Cumberland courthouse, adjoining William Guthrey Sr. The deed identifies two generations of Williams as well as Henry and Bernard. Richardson deed, Book 6, p. 10 · Saunders deed, Book 7, p. 505 · Confirmation, Book 9, p. 38 · Hoggard’s discussion of the land and the commissioners’ sale

Thomas. His father’s estate suit names Thomas while he was a minor. James Wilson was appointed his guardian. In Madison County, Bernard’s will directed that his brother Thomas receive twenty shillings. In neighboring Lawrence County, the 19 January 1823 marriage bond names Thomas Guthrey and Catherine Cox. Their son Charles Henry’s published biography follows his parents from Alabama to the vicinity of Athens in McMinn County.

This evidence places Catherine Cox’s husband in Henry and Patience’s family. The older Thomas who married Mary Baskerville in 1793 remains provisionally placed on Travis’s page. Charles Henry’s birth is variously reported as October 1823 and October 1824. His biography, the family chronology and his age when the family moved deserve to be read together. Patrick Hoggard’s guest research · Charles Henry’s legislative biography · Travis and the Baskerville question

Henry Sidney. The 1809 suit and 1811 appointment identify a younger son Henry. Prince Edward marriage indexes give 11 January 1832 for Marietta Womack and 28 October 1837 for Mary Agnes Womack. Compare the first bond, also read as Martha R., and the Womack estate records before assigning a relationship between the wives. The 1850 household includes Henry’s sister Martha. Henry’s 1866 deed describes the property and debts involved in the loss of his home. The family memorial gives 1896 for his death. The death-register image in the packet is from 1880 and includes Mary’s entry. Hoggard, Appendix 4 · Henry S. Guthrey’s deed · Ann Guthrie’s comments on the recovered line

First wife. Nancy Ann Guthrey, daughter of Henry’s brother William and Rebecca Noel, was the widow White. The 1812 marriage index actually calls the bride Sarah White. Hoggard’s corrected account identifies her as Nancy from the family and estate evidence. Her daughter Sarah Howard White later married John Stanback Coleman. The 1827 division of William Guthrey’s estate includes Gulielmus among those drawing lots.

Second wife. Henry and Patience’s Nancy was the first Nancy’s cousin. The index dates her marriage to Gulielmus to 20 March 1826. During the distribution of Bernard’s estate, Gulielmus acted for his wife Nancy, formerly Nancy Guthrey. That relationship is stated in the 1831 and 1833 papers. Nancy Turner Guthrie, daughter of Buck, belongs to the next generation.

Laurence R. Guthrie’s American Guthrie and Allied Families, pp. 523–524, describes two wives of the same name. Hoggard’s first addendum revises the identification in his original manuscript. Hoggard’s correction · William’s estate division, Book 8, p. 330 · The Coleman family in the Guthrie Research Tree · Mistaken Identities · Pocahontas Virginia Guthrie

Patience. The county tax lists give her forename. Hoggard raised Lee as a possible maiden name because of neighbors and family associations. A marriage settlement or estate paper naming Patience as a Lee daughter would be needed to support that proposal. Her surname remains unknown.

Polly. Bernard’s heirs identify her as Chenault. James Chenault’s 1825 inventory and subsequent account establish a deceased James, with William Guthrey acting in his estate. A separate marriage entry names Polly White. Identifying Henry’s daughter as that bride would require evidence for an earlier White marriage. Chenault inventory, pp. 66–67 · Chenault account, pp. 421–422

Elizabeth. Bernard’s petition explicitly names her late husband Henry Cox. A Cumberland probate inventory is a candidate for his estate. Francis A. Cox’s later role as Elizabeth’s administrator does not establish that he was her son. The older website link for the Cox inventory was malformed. The catalog locator is Will Book 3, p. 418, film 007675921, image 219. Locate the Cox inventory

Henry’s father Thomas named Peter, an enslaved man, in his bequest to Henry. Henry’s own inventory and the subsequent petition name Joe, Simon, Kate or Cate, and Chloe. The earlier county records also contain a Joe sold in a transaction involving Philadelphia Guthrey. A shared name cannot establish that these entries describe the same person.

Martha Guthrey’s 1855 Prince Edward inventory names Pompey and Rosetta. Sally Lewis’s family records name Nelsey in the 1822 conveyance to Robert Carter Lewis. Later deeds, inventories and chancery papers may allow their individual histories to be traced.

• Patience’s family. A marriage settlement, estate distribution or deed naming her and a parent would test the proposed Lee connection.
• The remaining acreage and the people named in the estate. Trace the full 309 acres from Bernard’s chancery papers through the commissioners’ sales. Seek receipts or later records naming Joe, Simon, Kate and Chloe.
• Sally, Polly and the two Nancys. Locate the original 1812 White bond and further Coleman distributions. Look for a marriage or estate paper linking Polly Guthrey to James Chenault and records naming the mothers of Charles Lewis’s children.
• The younger generations. Seek proof for Elizabeth Cox’s relationship to Francis, for the proposed Elizabeth Sarah Harp connection, for the names of Walker’s first wife and Bernard’s daughters, and for the identity of Henry Sidney’s first Womack wife in the original marriage papers.
