Descendants of Daniel Guthrie

Generation No. 1

1. DANIEL¹ GUTHRIE was born Bef. 1690. He married MARY LITTLE Abt. 1720. She was born Abt. 1690 in Pasquatank Precient, NC, and died Aft. 1753.

Notes for DANIEL GUTHRIE:
Records of the Executive Council 1664-1734 show that a Daniel Guthrie was Deputy Marshall for the Precient of Pasquatank in 1713.

In 1716 a Daniel Guthrie received a land patent for 110 acres on Perquimons Precient near Rich Neck (NC Abstracts of Land Patents 1663-1729, 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 not appear. Ordered to be brought into court next term.
It has been very hard to determine just where this first Daniel Guthrie lived before coming to Carteret County. "Currituck County Eighteenth Century Tax and Militia Records" list a Daniel Guthrie in 1718 and 1719. Currituck County was one of the original precients established in 1670 and included the present Currituck & Dare County and parts of Hyde & Tyrrell. Other than the above mentioned records only the records of Deeds survived the burning of the court house. All of the Outer Banks through Ocracoke Inlet was included. Though there is no official records of Ocracoke being in any county before the American Revolution, many tax records and oldest deeds are found in Currituck County. In the tax and milita records in 1718 and 1719 DANIEL GUTHRIE is shown living near FRANCIS FARROW, who was known to be on Hatteras Island, JOHN O'NEAL (of Ocracoke) and GEORGE STYRON of (Portsmouth Island), who are documented as being Pilots at Ocracoke Inlet. The first record of DANIEL in CARTERET CO., he and JOHN STYRON (son of GEORGE STYRON) witnessed the will of ROBERT WALLIS, who was also a Pilot at Ocracoke Inlet, and resided at Portsmouth and Hunting Quarters. Therefor I believe that DANIEL GUTHRIE , before coming to Carteret County resided in CURRITUCK PRESCENT on the Outer Banks, either on Hatteras, Ocracoke, or Portsmouth Islands. I do not know for sure if he is the same DANIEL that received the land grant in Perquimons in 1716 or even the same one that was Deputy Marshall in Pasquatank in 1713.

Carteret County Court Minutes:
June 1737 Daniel Guthrie and John Styron came into court and witnessed will of Robert Wallis.
That same court Daniel Guthrie was appointed Constable in room of Nicholas Roach.
March Term 1737- The court adjurned to the house where Daniel Guthrie lives neigh Beaufort Town to meet at 3 Oclock this afternoon.

I found no records of Daniel buying or selling any land in Carteret County. Records show that he left Carteret County and abandoned his wife and son. March term 1753: Nathan Davis applied to the court to have DANIEL GUTTERY, son of DANIEL GUTTERY who is not in this Government, bound to him till he arrives to age according to law. The said Nathan Davis to learn sd child to read and write and cypher as far as the rule of three and to him the trade that sd Nathan Davis enjoyes, and to provide such things as he is out.
