(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.)
(NOTE: Polly Canterbury and her husband, Thomas Guthrie were early settlers of Hamilton
County, Tennessee. Polly's sister, Rebecca Canterbury, married (2) Absalom Sivley.
The
Sivley family also lived in Hamilton County, Tennessee.)
