Source: Abstracts of Rev War Pension Files Pg 1462 -"GUTRY- John R4398, NC Line he lived in Caswell Co. NC at enl, appl 31 Oct 1836 LAURENS Dist SC aged 98 sol mentions his bro William GUTRY as having filed in the state of GA & stated he (John) had lately moved to Tumbling Shoals in LAURENS DIST SC , I did not find a claim for sol's bro Wm Gutry."
From my personal review of the pension documents, John's statement is that he had made an attempt for a pension but “never heard of his papers since he started, mine & brother Wm. Gutry's were sent on last year from the state of GA and I have lately taken up my abode in SC..Tumbling Shoals. The last page of his Rev. Pension papers is a typed undated form showing John GUTTREY of GWINNETT Co. GA age 85, that he resided in CASWELL Co. NC when entered service...
It appears this John Gutry (Guthrie), and his brother William, had lived in GA for some period of time before John decided to go to Laurens Co. SC about 1835.
Gwinnett Co. GA references for John and William - As noted above, one of John’s pension papers reflected his residence was Gwinnett Co. GA when he had filed papers the year before. (GA has no 1810 or 1820 census available and I could not locate a John or Wm in the 1830 census).
May 8, 1827 a William GUTHRIE, R.S. of Cat. Hunnicut Dist, GWINNETT Co. drew some Carroll Co. Land in the 1827 GA lottery.
A Power of Attorney was found in Meriwether Co. GA courthouse….11 Jun 1827, Recorded 4 Mar 1828 John Guttery of GWINNETT Co.
