Were B.W. and John J. Guthrie, Jr., the Sons of John H. Guthrie? How About Joseph A. Guthrie?

Still looking for definitive proof.  I am of the opinion that John, Jr. and B.W.  Guthrie were the sons of Guthrie, Sr., but want more proof.

I went to the complete list of U.S. Navy officers 1799 to 1900 and did not find John Jr. or B,W.'s name, so they did not follow their dad into the U.S. Navy.

There was one other Guthrie, however, Joseph A. Guthrie.  He became an assistant surgeon on 27 January 1892  and a passed assistant surgeon on 27 January 1895.  In 1913, he was listed as a retired surgeon, U.S. Navy, living in Portsmouth, Virginia.

This is where John Julius Gutrhrie was buried, so that might make him a relative.

In 1921, Eleanor Raymond Guthrie, daughter of Joseph A. Guthrie, was married in Portsmouth, Va.
