Below is what I have been able to put together on the family of John Guthrey, the Revolution War pensioner of Halifax County, Virginia. This family moved into the northern district of Halifax Co., Va. about 1792 and remained there. There was another John Guthrey in the southern district (b. ca. 1795) who was a stonemason and doesn't seem related at all to the Revolutionary War pensioner's family. Corrections are welcomed.
JOHN GUTHREY of HALIFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA
Revolutionary War Pensioner
DAR File # S8642 - Virginia Line
Application Dated 25 SEP 1832 - Halifax County, VA.
Born 1760 - Cumberland County, VA.
Died 17 JAN 1836 - Halifax County, VA.
Married Betty Ann Allen - Cumberland Co., VA. - 25 MAY 1785
Soldier was born in Cumberland County, VA. and enlisted for service there in MAY 1780.….discharged OCT 1780. Soldier was drafted back in service in FEB 1781...discharged APR 1781. Soldier reentered the service a third time as a volunteer in SEP 1781...discharged DEC 1781. Soldier stated that he lived in Cumberland County, VA. approximately 10 years after the war ended and then moved to Halifax County, VA. where he remained. William Hubbard and Charles Allen testified that John Guthrey has been a soldier in the war.
This move to Halifax County, Virginia seems to be correct as a John Guthrey is first recorded in the Halifax County, VA. personal property tax list in 1792, and every year thereafter.
John Guthrey died in Halifax County, VA. on 17 JAN 1836 and that fact can be found in Minute Book 7, page 154, Halifax County, VA. court records. His heirs at law are listed in that document and it states that there is no surviving widow.

no listings thereafter.)
RICHARD GUTHREY
(married Martha Toombs - 5 JAN 1828 - Halifax County, VA.)

Note: There is a bond in the Halifax County, VA. marriage records for Elizabeth Guthrey and William Hubbard - 21 DEC 1815 - father John Guthrey. This may be a first marriage for Elizabeth “Eliza” Guthrey who later married James L. McCraw and settled in Campbell County, VA. They can be found in the 1850 Census for Campbell County, page 195A,
#390.
Note: There is a bond in the Halifax County, VA. marriage records for Nancy Guthrey and Thomas Walton - 18 NOV 1823 -father John Guthrey, Sr. This may be the same person, possibly Mary Nancy Guthrey, found in the Minute Book 7, page 154 document of heirs that is hard to read and interpreted as Wallen. Of course, there could have been a daughter of John Guthrey named Nancy who died before John Guthrey’s death in 1836.
