Husband's Notes
James Guthrie Jr. appears to have been their oldest son. He was a soldier in the Revolution, probably in the service before they removed from Cumberland to Westmoreland County. There are no records other than military ones which can be definately fixed as relating to him in Cumberland, but after moving to Westmoreland about 1789, his name appears on tax lists and in deeds, etc., sometimes distinguished from his father, but often not; so that one is uncertain at times as to which of the two is meant.
He was a man of probity an honor, trusted and respected by those who knew him. He was Sheriff of Westmoreland County, and later Register of Wills of same county.
James Guthrie, Jr., married, probably in what is now Franklin County, Pa., (1) ---- Barr. Her given name may have been Jane. She appears to have been deceased in Westmoreland County before 1801. He married (2) Aug 30., 1803, Martha Scott, of Chambersburg, Pa., widow of John (?) Scott. She had two daughters, Jane and Elizabeth, by her former marriage as is shown in the will of James Guthrie. But these do not appear as legatees in the will of John Scott of Chambersburg, who mentions wife Martha in a will of a date early enough that he may have been deceased at the time of her marriage to James Guthrie.
James Guthrie, Esq., died in Chambersburg, Pa., between the dates of the making and the probating of his will - April 23 and May 21, respectively, 1812.
