(NOTE: These Bible records were obtained in 1933 by Penelope Johnson Allen, during her research of the Guthrie family of Hamilton County, Tennessee. The Canterbury Bible was in the possession of Rush B. Guthrie of Harrison, Tennessee. In 1933, Mrs. Allen wrote a weekly genealogical feature called "Leaves From the Family Tree," during her employment with the Chattanooga Times newspaper. Each week she focused on a local pioneer family by tracing the family roots back to colonial times. In 1982, these articles were published in a book, Leaves From the Family Tree, by Southern Historical Press.)
