Another Line Added - Sarah E. Eye

This is Sarah E. Eye, the wife of Andrew Jackson Guthrie. This is her wedding picture. I obtained both pictures when my grandfather passed away. They are in a leather case that folds in half and snaps closed. Sarah would be my gg-grandmother. The interesting things about going back a generation is you pick up a whole new direct descendant line, through your grandmothers. The Eye family came to America in the early 1700's (as far as we can tell), there is much was much debate as to whether the line is English (from a place near the Scottish border) or German. Since they settled in the Virginia's in an area with in the Scottish-German Settlements it was hard to say.

Then a researcher Professor Walter Eye found her ggg-grandfather Christopher S. Eyewho, spelled his name a Christafur Stophel Au, listed in the 'Pennsylvania German Pioneers' as one of the three brothers that immigrated to this country, Gremany entering Philadelphia on 23 Oct 1754.
