Male, #32419, (circa 1821 - 18 September 1888)

Birth*circa 1821 Shadrach was born at Kentucky circa 1821. 
Employment* Shadrach's occupation: farmer. 
 He was the son of Shadrach Guthrie and Malinda Badley. 
Marriage*21 Aug 1872 He married Amanda Mira Culpepper at Lavaca Co., Texas, on 21 Aug 1872.1 
Marriage He married Rachel Harbour. 
Census*1880 He was listed as a resident in the census report at Salado, Bell Co., Texas, in 1880. 
Death*18 Sep 1888 He died at Salado, Bell Co., Texas, on 18 Sep 1888. 
Burial* His body was interred at Salado City Cemetery, Salado, Bell Co., Texas. 
Biography* Shadrack was listed as "Shadrack" Guthrie in the 1880 census. On p. 99 of The Harbours in America by Louis J. Williams, Rachel Harbour was listed as having married "Lee Shade Guthrie" 11 Aug 1856, Lavaca Co., TX. Mrs. Travis (Jacqueline Lorenz) McClinton listed "Shadrach R." Guthrie on a Shadrack Guthrie descendant list and noted that an "S. Guthrie married Mrs. Rachel Hars Aug 19, 1856 Lavaca Co., TX." But the Lavaca Co., TX Marriage Book 1, p. 178 appears to list "H. Guthrie" and "Rachel Harbor." Jacqueline added: Mrs. Evelyn Cunyus, a granddaughter of Shadrach, says that he and his first wife Rachel had a plantation that was destroyed during the Civil War and she thought it was in Mississippi. The 1850 census of Coahoma Co., Miss. lists Shadrach as a grocer. On the 1860 census of Coahoma Co. are listed Rachel and Jennie. Shadrach is listed as a commercial merchant. He was a Mason at Friar Point, Coahoma Co., Miss in 1850. When he settled in Salado, Tx he owned a store.
      Is it possible that two different Guthrie/Rachel marriages are being tracked? Mrs. Travis (Jacqueline Lorenz) McClinton noted in her record of Mt. Olive Cemetery, Lavaca Co., TX: Shadrack, husband of Amanda [Culpepper], was a brother of William E. [Guthrie], our great great grandfather, and Rev. Orin Guthrie.
      A 19 year old "James E. Guthrie" who was born in Mississippi was listed in the household of Shadrack Guthrie in the 1880 census. This was probably a son of Shadrack by his marriage to Rachel Harbour. On p. 99 of The Harbours of America "Lee and Elwood" were listed as children of Rachel according to her estate settlement. In the 1900 census, James E. Guthrie was still living in Bell Co., TX. He was listed as having been born Dec 1860 in Mississippi. He was married to Eugenia who was born Dec 1872 in Mississippi and they had three children, Edwin, born Jul 1895, James E., born Dec 1897, and Robert L. Guthrie, born Feb 1900. All the children were born in Texas.

Biography* Mrs. F. W. (Sadie McGinty) Guinn wrote 16 Jun 1988: James Milton and Mary Frances were married at Old Moulton and established their first home there... later providing the land for the [Baptist] church and cemetery. They had a blacksmith shop at their home.... Old Moulton lives only in memory now (the only building standing is the church) and the present City of Moulton was moved because of the railroad. This was before the turn of the century.
      The following was written by James M. McGinty, Sr. and was included in a 25 Jul 1988 letter from Mrs. T. D. (Patty Bennett) McGinty: Memorial of the 71st. birthday of myself, J. M. McGinty at Alvin, Texas in the home of my son R. Frank McGinty on this the 10th. day of January nineteen hundred twenty. To my dear children: - Frank, Brad, Charley, John and Jim, and your wives, Tena, Pearl, Sadie and Agnes and my ten grand children. Your gathering here to join each other in commemorating my 71st. birthday is a Heavenly benediction to me. The many valuable presents as tokens of your affections for me are appreciated more than tongue can tell. I rejoice indeed to know that you have heeded the admonition of the Lord wherein He said "Children honor thy Father and thy Mother"; for not only has this nobleness of your lives reflected honor on me but also on her who gave you birth and cared for you in early life. And though her cares for you ceased just 22 years ago today when we laid her in the tomb here in Alvin, still her blessed influence over you abides; and when our hopes of redemption and a happy reunion are changed to glad fruition your mother and I will feel our lives were not in vain. You all deserve lasting praise for your kind affections toward her who has become a companion to me since companionship with your mother was severed by death. It is also a source of happiness to me to see you all cherish the tenderest brotherly feelings not only toward each other, but also toward your deceased sisters - little Anna, whose infant body sleeps in the cemetery in Flatonia since May 7th. 1878:-Linda, who sleeps beside her mother since February 8th. 1899 and Cecil who sleeps in the cemetery at Roswell, New Mexico since October 2nd. 1915. With these the thoughts of past life mingled with joy and sorrows, let us look forward to that life where there shall be fullness of joy and pleasures forever more. Let us esteem the present world wide troubles as the consummation of the end of all evil and the ushering in of all good because of the reign on earth of our Glorious Redeemer. May His peace abide with you until our reunion never to be separated shall have been fully consummated.
      Culpepper Heritage Association records note: James was about 8 years old when the family moved up into Arkansas. When Robert Henry (McGinty) went it was Jimmy who had to help his mother take care of the family and the farm. They celebrated his 20th birthday as they arrived in Texas In Sweet Home, where they stopped for some time, he fell in love with Mary Frances Culpepper and they were married on Sept. 9, 1869. They settled near his father in Old Moulton and he set up a blacksmith shop under the cluster of wide-spreading oak trees, just across from where the old Baptist Church still stands today. His oldest son, Frank, says "Our dad was a fine mechanic, wheelright, and he built fine buggies. His sons and grandsons have inherited this ability." Jimmie later moved to Flatonia, a little town that sprang up some miles north-east of Moulton, in Fayette County, when the railroad came through that way from Houston to San Antonio. Here his children grew up and got good educations in the small but cultured town. In the early 1890's, the McGinty family moved down to the town of Alvin, in Brazoria Co. Here the family helped grow and pick strawberries, and other fruit. They helped to build up the Baptist Church into one of the best in the Association, outside of the big churches in Houston. Uncle Jimmy was Sunday School Superintendent, and preached for a time, never giving his entire time to it. Aunt Mary died in Dec. 9, 1897 and he married a second time to Mrs. Fannie Leary. James Milton lived to be 78 and died Feb. 1927 and was buried in the old Confederate Cemetery beside Mary and daughter, Linda.

      The "BIBLE FAMILY RECORD OF FRANCIS G. & EGLINTINE CULPEPPER" listed Selena's birth (the last digit of the day and year are smeared and difficult to read. Since she was 1 year old in the 1850 census and 11 years old in the 1860 census, the last digit of the year of birth was estimated to be 9 but she was listed as having been born in June of 1848 in the 1900 census): _________________________Selena F. Culpepper _________________________was Born June 18 1848
      Selena emerges in census records in 1850 when she was listed with her parents in Lafayette Co., MS records and this is where she is presumed to have been born. In 1851, Francis G. Culpepper moved his family to Lavaca Co., TX and this is where Selena was noted with her parents in 1860 Hallettsville, Lavaca Co., TX census records. In 1867, "Salina A. Culpepper" married Silas Orr Riddle Guthrie and they apparently remained in the area since Selena is noted with her husband and child in 1880 Lavaca Co., TX census. By 1900, the Silas Guthrie family had moved to Brewster Co., TX and Selena was noted in census records with her husband. In the Texas Death Index, "Salina Guthrie" was listed as having died 16 Jun 1920 but Mrs. Travis (Jacqueline Lorenz) McClinton wrote 5 Aug 1988 that based on her cemetery records Salina died 10 Jul 1920.

Owned 101 Ranch at Murphysville, TX. Murphysville later had name changed to Alpine, TX, after moving there in the 1890's. Belonged to Masonic Lodge #80 in Hallettsville, TX in 1890.

      Mrs. Travis (Jacqueline Lorenz) McClinton wrote 15 Jan 1990: Silas "Gid" Guthrie and my great grandfather Shadrack Marion Guthrie were half-brothers. Their mothers were sisters. Mary Ann Beasley died after having her 4th child and William Edward Guthrie married her sister Etherdra and had 9 more children. That's as close to being "full" brothers as a person can get.
