16	Notes for CHARLES GUTHRIE: 1754-1755 Charles was listed as a Regt. Soldier under Thomas Lovick. August 1761 Charles Guthrie among those appointed to lay off a roadfrom Beaufort to Joseph Morses on North River. 1765 Charles Guthrie appointed constable from North River to CoreSound. March 1769 Joshua Morse appointed constable in room of CHARLES GUTHRIE (Here is where it gets interesting, a lot of things happened withCharles in 1769). March of 1769, James Hutchingson delivered into the court CharlesGutry and the court ordered him into custody. Joshua Morse was thenappointed constable in his place. By the June term of court Charleswas dead, because his wife Lucy was ordered to bring her son, orphanboy Fredrick to the next court. This makes me wonder if Charles was hanged or maybe killed trying toescape. Will need to get copies of the trial docket to find theanswer. (MARCH 1769 TAKEN INTO CUSTODY, JUNE 1769 HIS SON WAS AN ORPHAN [age18 see notes for FREDRICK)	Charles GUTHRIE
17	Notes for DANIEL GUTHRIE per Ellen Fulcher Cloud: Records of the Executive Council 1664-1734 show that a Daniel Guthriewas Deputy Marshall for the Precient of Pasquatank in 1713. In 1716 a Daniel Guthrie received a land patent for 110 acres onPerquimons Precient near Rich Neck (NC Abstracts of Land Patents1663-1729, Hofman) In 1721 he witnessed the will of Francis Farrow in Currituck County.(Record of Wills) 1728 Daniel & Mary were summoned to court for debt, but did notappear. Ordered to be brought into court next term. It has been very hard to determine just where this first DanielGuthrie lived before coming to Carteret County. "Currituck CountyEighteenth Century Tax and Militia Records" list a Daniel Guthrie in1718 and 1719. Currituck County was one of the original precientsestablished in 1670 and included the present Currituck & Dare Countyand parts of Hyde & Tyrrell. Other than the above mentioned recordsonly the records of Deeds survived the burning of the court house. Allof the Outer Banks through Ocracoke Inlet was included. Though thereis no official records of Ocracoke being in any county before theAmerican Revolution, many tax records and oldest deeds are found inCurrituck County. In the tax and milita records in 1718 and 1719DANIEL GUTHRIE is shown living near FRANCIS FARROW, who was known tobe on Hatteras Island, JOHN O'NEAL (of Ocracoke) and GEORGE STYRON of(Portsmouth Island), who are documented as being Pilots at OcracokeInlet. The first record of DANIEL in CARTERET CO., he and JOHN STYRON(son of GEORGE STYRON) witnessed the will of ROBERT WALLIS, who wasalso a Pilot at Ocracoke Inlet, and resided at Portsmouth and HuntingQuarters. Therefor I believe that DANIEL GUTHRIE , before coming toCarteret County resided in CURRITUCK PRESCENT on the Outer Banks,either on Hatteras, Ocracoke, or Portsmouth Islands. I do not know forsure if he is the same DANIEL that received the land grant inPerquimons in 1716 or even the same one that was Deputy Marshall inPasquatank in 1713. Carteret County Court Minutes: June 1737 Daniel Guthrie and John Styron came into court and witnessedwill of Robert Wallis. That same court Daniel Guthrie was appointed Constable in room ofNicholas Roach. March Term 1737- The court adjurned to the house where Daniel Guthrielives neigh Beaufort Town to meet at 3 Oclock this afternoon. I found no records of Daniel buying or selling any land in CarteretCounty. Records show that he left Carteret County and abandoned hiswife and son. March term 1753: Nathan Davis applied to the court tohave DANIEL GUTTERY, son of DANIEL GUTTERY who is not in thisGovernment, bound to him till he arrives to age according to law. Thesaid Nathan Davis to learn sd child to read and write and cypher asfar as the rule of three and to him the trade that sd Nathan Davisenjoyes, and to provide such things as he is out.

June 1787 John Shepard vs Daniel Guthrie, Assult, (for plaintiff) May 1799 Elisha Simpson, in behalf of his wife, returned an account ofsale of estate of Daniel Guthrie, decd.	Daniel GUTHRIE
19	Notes for LEVI GUTHRIE: In the 1800 census for Shackleford Banks Levi Guthrie is listed asbeing age 45 +, there are three other males in the house, ages 0/10,10/16, & 16/26. Samuel Guthrie is listed as being 45 + other males inhouse are ages 0/10 & 2 ages 16/26. By 1810 all of Levi's sons aremoved out of the household. Samuel has one son left in home, and hisson Stephen is listed as head of his own house, so is Samuel Jr. Also listed in 1810 are Zebede and Elijah Guthrie as head of household. Therefore I believe Zebede and Elijah to be sons of Levi Guthriethat were listed in 1800 and in their own home in 1810. I have found no other leads to the parents of Zebede and Elijah andwill continue to look for for proof. Levi Guthrie also was a witness to Zebede's marriage. August 1792 Levi was listed as a juror in Cart. Co. More About LEVI GUTHRIE: Residence: 1779, Colonial census index	Levi GUTHRIE

29	THE FAMILY BACKGROUND OF HANNAH DEVER GUTHERY The father of Hannah Dever Guthery was Lieutenant John Dever, her mother was Hannah Cubberly, daughter of Dr. James Cubberly, a surgeon in the American Revolution. Of the Cubberlys we shall have more to say. Lieutenant John Dever was born in Loudon County, Virginia, October 22, 1756. His father was John Dever and his mother was Mary Barnes. They were married in Hampshire County, Virginia (West Virginia since 1863). They had three children: John, James and George, all born in Virginia. The mother, Mary Barnes, died when the youngest son, George, was born in 1770. According to two descendants of George, Miss Margaret Dever Slavens of Jackson, Ohio and Mr. Samuel Slavens, her brother, of Detroit, Michigan, the older John was of Irish ancestry and was born October 20, 1746 (this date of birth was more likely 1736). Tradition has it that the ancestry had its origin in early Irish kings of Crusade times. They were "Devergons". The meaning of Devergon is obscure. Professor John V. Kelleher, authority on Mediaeval Irish history at Harvard University, in a letter to Mrs. Carroll H. May on June 10, 1954 says in respect to the Dever family of Ireland: The name Dever is the same as Dwyer..........the Irish form is O'Duibhidhir of O'Dubhuidhir...........the name of several families of whom the most important were the chiefs of Coill na manach, now Kilnamanagh barony in West County Tipperary. They were originally from Leinster. Dever is usually a northern form of the name. Our branch has believed we are descendants of the great DeVere family of England. When John Dever, the second, was twenty years old he enlisted with the Colonial troops of the 3rd Maryland regiment on December 10th, 1776. Loudon County is on the Virginia-Maryland line near his home. The regiment was commanded by Colonel Mordecai Gist. John Dever was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant April 1st, 1777. His name is found on the muster rolls of his company for the months of August and September, 1778 as 1st Lieutenant. This rank he held until his discharge on April 8th, 1779. An old newspaper clipping says he was a soldier under Washington and was with General Gates at the time of Burgoyne's surrender at Saratoga in 1777. Six years after his discharge from the army he was married to Hannah Cubberly, in 1785. She was then twenty-two years old, having been born June 25, 1763. Their family of eight children were all, excepting possibly the youngest, born in Virginia by 1800. They brought their family to Ohio in 1797, when the new Congressional lands were opened for settlement under a soldier's grant, and settled in Scioto County. Two of his sons served in the War of 1812 and are buried in Scioto County, Ohio. (Our line says it was William and James as John was too young at the time of the war.) George Dever, son of John Dever and Mary Barnes, followed his brother, Lieutenant John Dever, to Ohio with their two children, Solomon and Noah in 1797. Another account says Lieutenant Dever went to Ohio in 1799 and settled on the west side of the Scioto River, two miles west of the present village of Lucasville and eighteen miles north of Portsmouth. His claim was at the mouth of Big Bear Creek on Virginia Military Bounty land. His brother, George, settled on the east side of the river on Congress lands near Jackson, Ohio. There is no comment on the other brother James. George's descendants still live in Dever valley and in Portsmouth, Ohio. The families came to be known as the East Side Devers and the West Side Devers, from living on opposite sides of the river. Judge Noah Dever of Portsmouth is a descendant of the East Side Devers, his ancestor being George Dever. The old newspaper article says Lieutenant John Dever was a leading citizen and a prosperous man of his day. He was a great lover of horses and cattle. The farm where he settled was owned and lived on by his descendants continuously for over a hundred and fifty years, always with the Dever name. Tradition tells us this was a fine family and we wish we knew for a certainty their origin and more about John Dever himself. He is buried on the Old Homestead in the private burying ground of the family, not far from the house where the present Devers live. On his gravestone is his military record and a square and compass and this epitaph: Lieutenant John Dever Who Departed This Life November 10, 1827, 71 years old. And also the following lines: He too was of that patriot band Which once did aid our native land; He drew his sword in freedon's cause, He did protect his country's laws. His memory blest shall ever be, By all true friends of Liberty. Before passing to the story of Hannah Dever Guthery's mother's family, the Cubberly's, and the record of her own children, it will be interesting to have a backward look at the European background of the Devers. For, whether in Ireland or England, they were most notable. There is good reason to believe that both originated from the same race, though proof is not available and probably never will be. The name has gone through many changes in spelling, in some cases only a close study by experienced antiquarians could find any relation to the original DeVere. Here are some of the surprising changes the centuries have made in a name that began in northern France. To begin with it was De Ver. Then De Vere or Vere and this was the accepted spelling in England and Ireland through many generations. Then as descendants spread farther and farther down the years and became more remote from the early holdings and family traditions they even forgot their descent from a proud race. And in the struggle of life forgot their true name. An "s" was added: Devers, then Devor, Davor, Divier, Divyor, Dayvor, Deavor, Deever, Deavour and Devore. And de Vere became Viar, Fears, Wire, Wyer, Weir, and Weer. How our family came to preserve the name in its true form with no more corruption than a small "v" instead of a capital "V" is a thing we shall not know. But we changed the pronunciation. We call it Dee-Ver. History says De Vere was pronounced De Ver. The following is from Mary Gray May's "The History of Lieutenant-Colonel John Guthery of Greene County Pennsylvania and of Allied Families. THE MATERNAL ANCESTRY OF HANNAH DEVER GUTHERY. THE CUBBERLYS. Hannah Dever's mother was Hannah Cubberly, daughter of Dr. James Cubberly, a surgeon in the American Revolution. Virginia war records are silent concerning his service, but it must be remembered that many of the Virginia records are missing, having passed through fire. The family legend is so persistent from descendants as far scattered as the state of Washington down to Southern California, across to Ohio and on to Connecticut, that we must accept it as fact. Some think he lived in Maryland. Boundaries were very indefinite then and Loudon County, from where his daughter emigrated, is on the Maryland border. However, the Potomac River has always formed the boundary between Maryland and Virginia. In Revolutionary War times, Loudon County, Virginia, was across from Frederick County, Maryland. Dr. Cubberly may have seen service with Maryland troops as John Devers did, although he was a Virginian. A great great granddaughter, Mrs. E. F. Ragan, owns a set of scales which he used............the type used by surgeons of that day. She has, besides, his knee buckles and other interesting objects that her great-grandmother preserved. Mrs. Elizabeth Gould of Santa Monica, California, has a silver snuffbox that belonged to him. Mrs. Harrison Shafstall of Marion, Ohio, owns a pair of hand wrought silver cuff links that were worn by her ancestor, Hannah Cubberly, Mrs. Shafstall's great great grandmother. They are marked "H. C.". A letter, dated 24 January 1937, to Mrs. Fred Hoch from the late distinguished Prof. Ellwood Cubberly, of Leland Stanford University, gives us all we have of the American Cubberlys. He says it was a tradition in his family that two brothers came from England in the early 18th century. His progenitor was James Cubberly, who settled first on Long Island, then purchased land in Burlington County, New Jersey in 1718. He bought three hundred and fifty acres. From there the family moved westward to Middletown, Ohio, and from there to Richmond, Indiana. This was Ellwood Cubberly's own line. The brother emigrant which Professor Cubberly believes was our Ancestor went South "probably to Virginia and later his descendants went into the deep South". He had found them in New Orleans and also in St. Louis. The first Virginia census lists two Cubbelys of Hampshire County. Cubberly is another very ancient name. It dates back to Saxon times in England. It is found in the Domesday Book as Coberleie and in the annals of Gloucester Abbey, v. 3 of the Bristol of Gloucestershire Archaeological Society publications Cubberly is difined. The name had its origin in Gloucestershire. Ducberlei, another formation, means Cuthbert's lea; lea............old form lei which is lee or meadow. Cuthbert's meadow. There are many forms of spelling which must be when a name is so venerable. Here are some of the spellings that have come down the ages: Cudberlei, Cudberleye, Cutberley, Cubberleg, Cubberley, Cubberley, Cubberly, Coberlei, Coberley, Coburly, coberly, Cobberlee, Cobberl, Coburley, Coberle, deComberlie and Coverly. Lately was seen in a current issue of a popular magazine Coverley. Cuthbert's meadow was the locality where the parish of Cubberly was set up long ago in Gloucestershire. The village of Cubberly was founded, which was dependent on Cubberly Hall or manor. This noble house has been reduced to the size of a farmhouse, with a very few of the ancient walls standing, and the arms of a branch of the great Berkeley family still to be found upon it. They were very rich and grand in the time of Queen Elizabeth I and were called the Berkeleys of Cubberly. Sometimes they used only Cubberly for a surname. They owned the Cubberly lands and a great deal more in surrounding parishes. Volume 16 of the Archeological Society before mentioned says: "The use of Coberley as an alternative surname was not uncommon in the family. Even in the next century when people's names were much more settled we find Sir John de Coberle summoned as a juror to replace Sir Thomas de Berkeley de Coberle in 1336. While in 1372 the last Sir Thomas de Berkeley of Coberley is called in his Probatio Aetatis Thomas de Coberley." If our Doctor James Cubberly was descended from this house he was a Berkeley, one on the great families of England. But there is an even chance that his family was not so notable. Children of HANNAH CUBBERLY and JOHN DEVER are: Mary Dever, b. 18 December 1785; m. Benjamin Fort, 26 January 1800. Notes for Benjamin Fort: Fort may have been Feurt. Sarah Dever, b. 9 October 1787; m. William McDowell, 28 November 1809. Elizabeth Dever, b. 7 January 1789; m. walter Wilcoxen, 24 December 1810 & they had a daughter - Sarah Wilcoxen. James Dever, b. 2 July 1791; m. Mary Barnes, 16 March 1816. William Dever, b. 7 March 1794; m. Asenath McDougal, 16 May 1816 and had a son - Joseph Dever. Hannah Dever, b. 18 January 1796, Kentucky; d. 1864, Marion Coutny, Ohio. John III Dever, b. 10 February 1798; m. Nancy Barnes, 27 September 1827. Rachel Dever, b. 15 September 1800, never married. Notes for William Dever: (Hannah Dever Guthery's brother) As stated by Mary Gray May in her Guthery Family of Greene County Pennsylvania book.................. It was William's descendant, William Thomas Dever, who was the last of the name as male heir to live on the original Dever homestead, the farm near Lucasville, Ohio in the Dever name for over a hundred and fifty years. The descent from Lieutenant John Dever, first owner of the land, was his son William, his son Joseph, and his son William Thomas Dever. Of his sons, James and John, and their families, we have no record. James and Mary Dever of Lacon, Illinois and their brother William of Bloomington, Illinois were descended from one of these brothers. (Correction - James & Mary & William were brothers and sister) The Illinois descendants left no issue. William's son Joseph had seven children. We do not know whether William had other children beside Joseph.	Hannah DEVER
30	William is found in his father's will. United with the First Congregational Church in Woodbury in 1752. He married Suse---, and removed to Jericho (now Bainbridge), Chenango Co.,, N.Y. where he died in 1806	William GUTHRIE
31	Before his marriage to Mrs. Brownlee and for some years afterward he appears to have lived in Mt. Pleasant Township, Westmoreland County. In 1806, William brought his family from Westmoreland County to Porter Township and settled near Smithland (McDonald Farm), at that time the land of General Craig. William died in a tragic accident when his wagon fell from a high bridge, near Licking in Clarion County, Pa., into the creek below. The newspaper account of his death as reported in The Gazette, Saturday, March 15, 1828. Titled "Distressing Casualty" - On Monday evening last Capt. William Guthrie, of Redbank township, in company with one of his sons, was coming to town with a wagon; but before they reached it, night overtook them. It became excessively dark, and it was difficult to proceed. The old gentleman was in the wagon, the son was driving, when they came to a high narrow bridge, about five miles above this place. Dark as it was, they attempted to pass it, but unfortunately they kept too much to the lower side, and horses and the wagon, with the old gentleman in it, fell over the side. Mr. Guthrie was killed instantly; his body, head and limbs were terribly bruised. The son fortunately escaped by leaping from the saddle. Mr. Guthrie was about 73 years of age; he was a soldier of the revolution, and was at Paoli at the time of the shocking massacre of the troops at that place, and he narrowly escaped. He drew a pension. As a man he was much esteemed, and his melancholy end is the subject of universal regret. He has left an aged widow and numerous relatives to mourn his loss. William Guthrie enlisted in Cumberland County, Pa. in May, 1776, in Captain James McConnel's Company, Pennsylvania Company of the "Flying Camp"; was in the Battles of Trenton and Princeton and was discharged in January, 1777. (Pa. Arch. Ser. 2, Vol. 13, p. 89) He enlisted in 1780 and served one year as lieutenant in Captain Mathew Jack's Company of Pennsylvania Rangers and he served one year as Captain of Rangers. He was discharged January 15, 1781.

32	Captain John Guthrie emigrated from Ireland to Pennsylvania and became one of the early settlers of Westmoreland County. He was elected Captain of one of the Companies organized by the white settlers for protection against the Indians. John ("Jack") Guthrie became a famous Indian scout. He was an astute woodsman, skilled in Indian warfare, a patriot in the Revolution, and a frontier ranger. After serving in one or more companies on the western frontier, he went to Kentucky with the intention of taking up government land, but he died before he secured the land. (From "Cyclopedia of Indiana and Armstrong Counties", under head of "Biographies of Armstrong County," p. 516.) 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 'Jack' GUTHRIE

41	James Guthrie, a taxable in Hamilton Township, Cumberland County, Pa. in 1753, was the first Guthrie to settle permanantly that far west in Pennsylvania. His land lay along Back Creek about a mile above the point where the Lincoln Highway crosses it, about the confluence of Wilson's Run and Denney's Run with it. James Guthrie ran an Inn on Back Creek in Hamilton Township on the Old Loudon Road (Forbes Road) in 1759. For proof of this statement refer to the Nicholas Scull map of 1759. On the Nicholas Scull Map of 1759 the only place marked between Shippensburg and Campbells at Mount Parnell is Guthrie's. Notice the three streams are marked Back Creek, Dennis Creek and Armstrong, now Wilson Run. Guthrie's is on the first stream or Back Creek. In 1755, James Guthrie served under Captain Joseph Armstrong and was with Armstrong in the destruction of Kittanning in 1756. In 1763 James purchased land from Barnabas Hughes, then sold the land in 1777 to Robert Peeples (Recorded at Carlisle, Book F, Pg. 230, Hamilton Township) and moved to Chambersburg. From 1756 to 1760 the Conococheague settlements were abandoned, the settlers returning to the valley of the Susquehanna and eastward, except those who remained on military duty at the outposts. During those silent years it is supposed that James Guthrie did considerable military duty and spent his other time in Chester County. As those fearful and restless times drew to their close, he was among the first to reestablish a home on the frontier. Many of the neighbors of James Guthrie were from Chester County and it is quite probable that he, a young man, coming from Chester, was the son of Robert Guthrie. Although poor in earthly goods and living on the rude frontier, James gives ample evidence of having been a man of real quality. It is probable that he worshiped at the Falling Spring Presbyterian Church. It was the nearest church, the next being Rocky Spring. He removed to Westmoreland County in 17807 where for a number of years he bought and sold land with a shrewd eye for gain. He was never strictly speaking a farmer, but energetic and enterprising, was willing to engage in any legitimate undertaking which promised fair returns. The land records represent him as living respectively in Mt. Pleasant, Donegal, Hempfield (including Greensburg) and Salem Townships. He was a Justice of the Peace in Westmoreland County.

49	* This has not been documented. *French/English descent. She did speak fluent German. This information was remember from conversations between my sister Lois L. Guthrie and my beloved mother, Iva Lee. I suspect that my grandmother's real given name was Jerusha. This was a rather common name that was used in the 18th and 19th centuries. This is of biblical roots. It means "possessed by a husband." Jerusha in the bible was the wife of Uzziah, King of Judah, and mother of king Jotham (2 Kings 15:33). I also suspect that the Name , "Lee" , is of prime importance. This because two of her daughters had that as a middle name, Iva Lee and Emma Lee. This is just an educated guess, It was the normal practice for the maiden name to show up with at least one or more female children, just as the practice of giving a male child one of the given names of his father or that of his paternal grandfather. This naming custom was common because it was thought that if the child was female it was because of the strong lineage of the wife and if it was male, it was because of the strong lineage of the husband. However having made that statement, it must be remembered that at this time it is merely supposition, nothing more. I will follow through with this supposition to see if it holds true, having hit a brick wall utilizing straight forward tracing. I hope to one day view the gravestone of Rusha Farmer, if there is one. 5/20/2000 (Found, but unconfirmed Information) Rusha Ann Jones. Born 1872 Jefferson County, TN.
