I was a Guthrie, and know that my great-grandfather walked to Illinois from Kentucky with his little brother on his back and a brand new kentucky long rifle that my brother has. It looks like it just came out of the box. Story goes he was running away from Quadrill's Raiders, so he had to be actually coming from the West. I also have Gaultney and Kesterson on my mom's side, with Hill's and McDonald's on my dad's. I would love to get into geneology and see where I came from. With some of the wild indians in this family tree, I am sure there is going to be a shocker!!!!
