Biography:

GUTHRY, John (fl 1776-1818)

Internal evidence provides the only reliable information discovered about Guthry, who at the time of publication of his published writings (1815-18) was living in Augusta County PA and styling himself "senior"--so presumably he was married with at least one son of the same name. In both his books, he addresses political issues as a "democratic republican" speaking for his own class, the class of mechanics and farmers. His credentials include military service against the indians and a term with the New Jersey militia during the Revolutionary War. HJ
