GUTHRIE, ROBERT [SSNE 7569]
Text source
Robert Guthrie (Rubbert, Rubbertt Gøttri) who settled in Bergen before 1592 (possibly identical to the Rubbert Joenssøn who received citizenship to Bergen in 1588, and possibly father to the Jon Gythri who received citizenship there in 1594. Further reference is given to a document dated 22 June 1593 where King James of Scotland in his palace states that all properties and goods from one deceased Patrick Ruthven should be given to the above Robert Guthrie in Bergen, and his heirs. This was objected to by Tommes Tommesen citizen in Bergen, who stated that the same goods and properties had been purchased 27 years earlier in Perth by Anna Calender, his wifes mother. The seller was John Walterson Ruthven, son of above Walther Ruthven and Agnes Quitt. Tommes Tommesen presented documents confirming this sale, dated Perth 16 May 1567.We thank Petter Vennemoe for creating this reference.
