Husband's Notes
John Guthrie, son of John and Jane (Reed) Guthrie, married Mary (Irwin) Lochry. She was the daughter of Captain Joseph Irwin. Mary was first married to Colonel Archibald Lochry, leader of the Lochry Expedition. It is noted that John "Jack" Guthrie was elected Captain of one of the companies organized by the white settlers in Westmoreland County, Pa., for protection against the Indians. He entered the regular service when Capt. Matthew Jack entered in the service. Jack became a famous Indian Scout. He was an astute woodsman, skilled in Indian warfare, a patriot in the Revolution and a frontier ranger. He was in Lochry's defeat, General St. Clair's defeat and was frequently engaged on the frontier before Wayne's treaty. His oldest son, John, stated in the estate papers of his father, recorded in Westmoreland County, that his father had gone to Kentucky to search for Government land for the family. He took sick and died there. John died without a will around 1805 leaving eight children. In his estate papers, he is referred to as Capt. John Guthrie. His fourteen year old son, John, petitioned the courts for a guardian, while William Guthrie petitioned the courts for guardians of the remaining four children under age.
