Stab number 1 of 2 in my attempt to identify this "W.F. Guthrie" in question.
.
re: W.F. Guthrie, Guttery, Gutterey, Guttry
.
i.e., "W.F. Guthrie" of Lt. N. Carson's Company D of Bourland's Regiment.
.
Please help identify the "Private W.F. Guthrie" cited in the following paragraph. ... The proofs are
presented beneath the asterisks. Question is: Do I have the right guy?
.
Editor's note: Towards the end of the Civil War, all sort of kids, older men, men who wanted to serve the Southern Cause yet were hesitant to go to the Eastern front (i.e., chicken hawks), men who wanted to abide by the Confederate Conscription law, and misfits WERE SENT to patrol the North and West Frontier in the ten military units listed near the bottom of this posting.

I think the "T. Guthrie, b-1806 VA, wife Z., b-1809 IL" and the "J. Guthrie with Copelands" found in the 1860 Parker Co TX cen are the SAME FAMILIES as the “Guttery” families found in the 1870 Lamar Co
TX cen.
.
Notice that William Guttery resides between his father and his uncle in the 1870 Lamar census. William Guttery lived near the older John Guttery and sister E. Copeland.

Thus far, I have found 30 soldiers of Bourland's Regt., that were not listed in the archival records. ..I expect to find about 20 more men who served in Bourland's Regt.
