Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S.41594 , it appears that John Guthery enlisted in Pennsylvania, in May, 1776, served as a private in Captain John Wilson's Company, Colonel Aeneas Mackey's Pennsylvania Regiment, was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Quibbletown, and a battle with the Indians at Coshocton, on the Muskingum River, and was discharged in May, 1779, at Fort McIntosh. He did not state his rank.
He was allowed pension on his application executed October 13, 1820, for service as a private. At the time of his application for pension, he was aged seventy-six years and a resident of Pike County, Ohio.
He then stated that he had no family living with him and there are no data concerning his family.
The above noted John Guthery is the only soldier by

that name (under any spelling) who served with the Pennsylvania Troops, found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
For information relative to land that might have been granted by the State of Pennsylvania, you should apply to the Librarian, Pennsylvania State Library, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.

Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:—
I wish to join the Daughters of the American Revolution. My Revolutionary ancestor was John Guthrie, known to us, his descendants as Col. John Guthrie. I have written the War Dept. and they can not tell which John Guthrie he was and advised me to write you my information and possibly we could identify his service.
According to my information John Guthrie was born in Pennsylvania.

April 14, 1744. On March 13, 1771 he married Lydia Baldwin. In 1797 he moved with his family from Greensburg, Green Co., Penn. to Pike County, Ohio. We are told this land upon which he settled was a grant of land from the Government. He founded Piketon, in Pike Co. Ohio. He died June 1, 1823 and is buried in a mound at Piketon, Ohio. I understand there is to be a large monument erected in his honor upon that mound at some time this summer.
If in your pension records you have the date of the death of his wife, Lydia Baldwin, I would be glad

to have that information also.
Thanking you for your time and attention, I am
Yours truly
Mrs. L. H. Gronemeyer, 732 So. 23 St. Quincy, Ill.

I am seeking information in regard to the Revolutionary War record of John Guthrie who was my great-great-grandfather.
In 1769 he resided in York Co. Pennsylvania, as my great-grandfather, who was William Guthrie, was born there. For that reason I think it likely that he entered the service from York Co.
Thanking you for any information you may give me, I am
