...this is Andrew Jackson Guthrie, born 1840-1844, on his wedding day or there about 23rd Dec 1869. He served in the Confederacy during the Civil War. According to his military record, he enlisted as a private in Pendleton Co. West Virginia, on 09 June 1861. He was a POW on 06 August 1863, took an Oath of Allegiance on 06 August 1863 and was released. He was 5'5" with auburn hair and blue eyes, his occupation was listed as a farmer. This is as far back as we can trace in this main line of GUTHRIE. We know his parents are Page / Allie (short for Alexander) Guthrie and Frances Smith, according to his death record. We believe him to be the grandson of Rev. George Guthrie (the same one from my previous post) and Frances Smith, but have not been able to prove it with out a doubt, all our evidence thus far is circumstantial.
