| Marriage |
1755 |
Louisa County, VA  |
- Penelope and David were just two of the 12 children of Henry Guthrie and Penelope Johnson Guthrie whose marriage initially seemed to have created a lot of drama in her Quaker community. Cedar Creek Meeting House Marker.
The Guthries, my sixth great grandparents, were married in Louisa County in 1755. The Quaker records of the Cedar Creek Meeting House contain these entries:
January 11, 1755: Penelope Johnson disowned for marrying contrary to discipline.
February 8, 1755: Agness Johnson condemned for entertaining her daughter on the day of her marriage, which was contrary to the advice of the Friends.
According to the source, these two entries likely meant that Henry was not a Quaker, and even though Penelope was disowned for marrying him she could have asked for and received reinstatement. This was quite common during this time. [1]
