The following information was supplied by Nan Warren #47980511:

Mary was the daughter of Joel Dickinson Trammell,who became a circuit riding Methodist preacher in Alabama in the 1840s and his wife, Emily Easly, both ofwhom were born in Walton County Georgia.

She was married to Thomas William Guthrie, a member of the 34th Alabama infantry, who was shot at the Battle of Atlanta on July 22, 1864 and may have died on July 25,1864 according to one of the pension records she filed in order to get a widow's pension. Other records show his death as 22 July 1864, the day he was wounded.

She had a son with whom she lived named Luther Oscar Guthrie. and following the the death of his wife in 1897 she helped him to raise his 5 children: Chastian, Mary Myrtle, Richard Preston, Sylvester and Vera.


After her grandson Richard Preston Guthrie married Gaynell Castleberry in 1913, she taught Gaynell how to sew and sew she did, like an expert. Gaynell was my grandmother and she taught me to sew as a child. I still sew. Thanks to two "GRAMMAS".

Mary Julia was confined to a wheelchair in her last years due to severe spinal arthritis.
