The Montgomery Family MAGAZINE JULY 1915

THE HOUSE OF MONTGOMERY. No American family can proclaim a n1ore distin­ guished or more ancient lineage than the l\tontgom­ erys. The founder of the line in America, William Montgomerie, settled in East Jersey in 1701-02, but the pedigree is easily traceable many generations back of that period; indeed, fully a thousand years beyond the present year of grace. The earliest record of the family extend to Roger de Montgomerie, a native of Neustria, who was °Count of Montgomerie before coming of Rollo" in 912. Though of French extraction the Montgomeries thus became absorbed in and assimilated with the Norman dynasty, which was established by Duke Rollo, fol­ lowing his descent upon and capture of that section of the domain of Charles the Simple. Count William de Montgomerie and Hugh de Montgomerie, his brother, great-grandsons of the Roger de Montgomerie above mentioned, are thus spoken of by Ordericus Vitalis: 0 William and Hugh, the two sons of Roger de Montgomerie, were turbulent during Duke William's m1nonty.• • •• Ordericus furthermore accuses the elder of the brothers of having assassinated Osbeme de Crepon, High Steward of Normandy. The assault is said to have taken place while the victim was sleeping in the chamber of Duke William, who was then a minor. For this act he received speedy vengeance, as Bamon de Glos, Osbeme' s steward, surrounded William in his castle, and, setting fire to it, destroyed him and all his accomplices. 1 Montgomery Family

Hugh de Montgomerie, son of William de Mont­ gomerie, married Osberne' s cousin Josseline, daughter of Tourode, Sire de Pont Audemer, whose wife, Weva Duceline de Crepon, was a sister of Duchess Gonnor, wife of Richard Sans Peur, the great-grandmother of William the Conqueror. The eldest son of Hugh de Montgomerie, namely, Roger de Montgomerie, Count of Montgomerie, and Viscount d'Exmes, accompanied his cousin, William of Normandy, in his invasion of England, and, at the battle of Hastings, October 14, 1066, is said to have commanded the advance division of the Norman army. Thus the Montgomeries found foothold in the British Isles, and the English, Scottish and Irish branches of the family extended and developed. In diplomacy, literature, journalism and religion the name has ever since been more or less prominent. The poet and hymn writer, the Rev. James Montgomery, ranks high among English men of letters. In our own country, from the days of Colonel Richard Montgomery, of heroic memory, the name has been one of the highest type and character. In American Colonial records the Montgomerys; of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Kentucky were among those who made history, and they were foremost among the pioneers who blazed the way through the wilderness of the new world. The descendants of the first American Montgom­ erys now number many thousands, and this modest little chronicle will endeavor from time to time to per­ petuate the history, the song, the story and the ro­ mance surrounding this distinguished family. Many priceless Colonial records have been lost to literature, but with the hope that much of the Montgomery tra­ dition, record and fact can still be found available and preserved for future generations this publication is undertaken.

5 Montgomery Family THE IRISH MONTGOMERYS. Mr. Lothrop Withington, a well-known genealo­ gist of Boston, many years of whose life was spent in England and Ireland, was one of the ill-fated passen­ gers on the steamship "Lusitania." Mr. Withington some years prior to his death had made extensive genealogical researches in Ireland, and to the Mont­ gomery family he paid a glowing tribute. In these days of wars and rumors of wars, of fighting nations and fighting men, some words con­ cerning the Montgomeries, penned by the late Mr. Withington, will be read with more than the ordinary interest. Of the Montgomeries of the north of Scot­ land he wrote: "In my notes from Irish records, gathered by me incidentally in the course of many years' occasional research in Dublin and elsewhere, concerning various Ulster emigrant families the first and most important is the connection of our famous General Richard Mont­ gomery. As a fact, the Montgomeries overshadow the whole of Ulster, just as the Fitzgeralds do the rest of Ireland. It is said that Lord Mount Alexander at one time could ride at the head of a regiment all Mont­ gomeries. In the last Irish Parliament were no less than five Montgomeries, the handsomest men not only in the Parliament but in Ireland, according to tradi­ tion. The ramifications of the Ulster Montgomeries are endless.'•

In the Washington County, Pa., Rangers, 1778 to 1783, were William, Alexander, Thomas and John Montgomery. At the same time Samuel Montgomery was in the ranks of the Bedford County, Pa., Rangers. In Cumberland County were Samuel, William and Au­ gust. In Northumberland County were Samuel and William. :f. :f. :f. Among the U.

COUNT MONTGOMERY. "In a grand tournament held in Paris, on the occa­ sion of a great festival in honor of one of the royal family, the King of France, Henry II. having vanquished seven noble antagonists, challenged the Count of Montgomery to break a pair of lances with him. The Count accepted. "The king and his gallant subject met in full array in the presence of the noblest assemblage in France; on the first tilt, a fragment of the lance held by the Count struck the king in his left eye, at the instant when the sudden shock had moved the visor of his helmet, and he fell mortally wounded. "Upon this awful mishap, the Count retired, first to Normandy, and then · into England, filled with the deepest grief for what had only accidentally happened. "In England he became a convert to Protestantism; and when the civil war b:roke out in France, a few years later, he joined the Prince of Conde and the Admiral Coligny in the cause of the Huguenots. "The Champernowne family, like many others in the west of England, espoused the cause of the reformers in F ranee, and aided it with their fortunes and their valor. The marriage of Gawen Champernowne to Gabrielle, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of the Count of Montgomery, united the interests of the two families. He followed the fortunes of his father­ in-law !through many years of civil strife, until the latter 17 was taken prisoner at Domfront, in 1574, and publicly executed by the victorious Guises. "Champernowne returned to England, bereft of considerable of his fortune, while his wife lost all, the vast estates of her father being confiscated. His mili­ tary experience in F ranee enabled him to be of good service in the war with Spain, which soon followed; and he was entrusted with many responsible military offices in Devonshire. He was associated with the renowned Sir Francis Drake in several public employ­ ments. "Gawen Champernowne and the Lady Gabrielle, daughter of the Count of Montgomery, had nine chil .. dren, Arthur, the father of the subject of this Memlir (Capt. Francis) was the only son and heir; seven of the eight daughters were married, all to gentlemen of an­ cient families, several of them knights. (Tuckett' s Pedigrees, uhi supra.) "Arthur Champernowne, successor to the ancestral manor of Dartington, on the death of his father, which happened a few years after the memorable Spanish Ar­ mada threatened England. (Calendar of State Papers, A. D., 1592) "Alexander Shapleigh of T otnes, the same undoubt­ edly who came to Piscatagua in 1640, and whose de­ scendants continue there in high esteem to this day, was joint owner of the Benediction of Dartmouth. "As early as November, 1622 he (Champernowne) had a commission from the Council of New England permitting his vessel, the Chudlegh, (an ancestral name), to trade and fish in the waters of New England. (Proc. Am. Antig. Society, April, 1867, 70.)

18 "It does not appear that Arthur Champernowne ever came to New England." "Arthur Champernowne married Bridget, dau. of Sir Thomas Fulford, of Fulford, parish of Dunsford in Devonshire ...... In the church of -St. Mary's at Dunsford is a monument of Sir Thomas and his lady, Ursula, a dau. of Sir Richard Bamfylde; these are the grand­ parents of Capt. Francis Champernowne. (Polwhele's Devon, 80.) The above extracts are from a biographical sketch of Capt. Francis Champernowne, in Hist.-Gen. Regis­ ter, of New England, 1875, pp. 318 etc. 403.

THE POET AND HYMNIST. MONTGOMERY, James (1771-1854). An English· poet, the son of a Moravian preacher. James Mont­ gomery was born at Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland, Novem­ ber 4, 1771. At the age of seven he was sent to tht' Moravian settlement at Fulneck, near Leeds, to prepare for the Moravian ministry. To the annoyance of the Moravians, his leisure at school was employed in the composition of epics on King Alfred and the fall of man. In 1787 he ran away, and after four years of various employ­ ment became engaged as clerk to the editor of Tire Sheffield 30 Register. In 1794 he started The Sheffield lri$, which he edited till 1825. He was twice fined and imprisoned in York Castle for libel. He afterwards became a moderate Conservative, and in 1835 was granted a Government pen- .sion of £ 150. He died at Sheffield, April 30, 1854. His principal volumes of verse are: The Wanderer of Swil1.erland (1806); The West Indies ( 1809); The World Before the Flood ( 1812); Greenland ( 1819); and The Pelican Island, and Other Poems (1827). Montgomery is now chiefly remembered for his hymns (collected in 1853), of which nearly a hundred are still in use. Among them are Go to Dark Gethsemane, and Forever with the Lord. Mont­ gomery had little depth and drew his observations from books rather than from nature. His fame is kept up not by lovers of literature, but by lovers of religious feeling: Consult: Lives by Holland and Everett (London, 1854-56), and by King (ih., 1858); Poetical Works, ed. by their author (ih., 184 f; reprint, 1884), and by Car­ ruthers (Boston, 1860).

Since 1786, thousands of young ladies have attended the Bethlehem school. In the early days few of the pupils were Mora vi ans, but were members of aristocratic and wealthy families, and for many years the seminary was quite the vogue. The following list of pupils, recently found, will prove of great genealogical interest. Class 1794. Esther Montgomery, born 17 July, 1785, daughter of W. Montgomery of Philadelphia, Penn. 1825. Elizabeth Montgomery, born 1812, niece of Gov. John Geddes, of South Carolina. 18? 8. Addie J. Montgomery, daughter of William Mont­ gomery, of Perry Co., Pennsylvania. 1861. Gussie C.

Can someone give the names of the first Montgomerys coming to this country~ My ancestor, William, was son of William Montgomery and Susan Halliday and his father was Samuel Mont­ gomery, and the Montgomery Sears of Boston were great friends of the family.

UNPUBLISHED LETTERS OF JAMES MONT­ GOMERY, THE POET (Following are two heretofore unpublished letters, written by James Mont­ gomery of Sheffield, poet and journalist, born 7 November, 1771, died 30 April, 1854.) I "Friday, 24 Sept., 1828. "Dear Sir: "I should gladly have accepted your kind proposal for excursion with your to King's Weston tomorrow, hut I am unluckily so circumstanced that I cannot avail my­ self of it, having two engagements, the second of which I cannot well avoid, as it would break up an appointed party. Though a stranger here, I find so many friends that my time is portioned out in small divisions, and I have not an hour, I may say, · at my command before Thursday next, when I may be under the 'necessity of returning to Sheffield, though I hope not. At any rate, I will try to steal an hour in the course of my remaining stay here to spend with you, when there will not be so many bright eyes upon us as there were yesterday even­ ing, and when I at least can be more of myself than I was then; though I am not sure that will be at all to my advantage. With most respectful remembrance (in which my brother and sister cordially unite) to your amiable mother, and your kind sister, I am very truly "Your obliged friend, "J. Montgomery. "Mr. Joel Cottle, Brunswick Square." 49 II "Sheffield, 15 March, 1828. "Rev' d Sir; "I am sorry that I did not answer your letter im­ mediately, but a difficulty occurred which arose from an oversight in perusing it. I have no personal connection with the Friendly Society in Sheffield, which hears my name. I know that statements regarding it have been made, occasionally, in the newspapers, which were rather prospective than actual, and more to be desired than {I fear) hoped. The Club has never yet been able to adopt the plan, which it has so strenuously recommended as the best, because fate says-the addition to its funds from a considerable number of honorary members­ has not yet been obtained to the necessary amount. It has there£ ore been conducted hereto£ ore nearly on the same terms as other institutions of the ~ind; but perhaps with better economy; and hitherto it has flourished and is yearly improving. But this is the case generally with Clubs while they consist of young and middle-aged members only, the latter paying premiums on entrance in propor­ tion to the hazard of their lives. If you wish to have cor­ rect information respecting the plan which the Montgom· ery Club wish to adopt, you will find it in a pamphlet published by the Rev. W. Becher of Sout4well. I forgot the exact title, hut any bookseller will obtain the book for you. If you should hereafter want a copy of the Rules of the Montgomery Society here, and will order any per­ son to call upon me, I will endeavor to get you the same. Meanwhile, I am, very respectfully, "Your friend and servant, "J. Montgomery. "P. S. If you want to write to Mr. John Maxon, the Secretary of the Montgomery Club, Sheffield, I think he would give you better information than I can. "The Rev'd. Joshua Shaw, Ilkeston, Derbyshire." 50 EARLY PENNSYLVANIA WILLS (From Original Records.) Montgomery, John of Leacock Township, Lancaster County, 19 October, 1757. Probated 30 May, 1758.

HUGH OF NORTH CAROLINA (Contributed) There was a Hugh Montgomery of Salisbury, North Carolina, who was quite prominent during the Revolu­ tion serving in the militia, and also in the Safety Committee from Rowan County, and a member of the Provincial Congress, besides being a member of other committees (See N. C. A~chives, Vol. X., pp. 166, 68, 73, 75, 279, 80, 82, 309 and 432). His will is filed in Salis­ bury, and is dated 16 December, 1779, and probated February, 1780. In it he bequeaths to his son, Hugh, 0 all that, my large plantation and tract of land lying on new river in state of Virginia which I purchased from one Calhoun" and after him to his sons or daughters, and in case of Hugh dying without issue, then to his daughter, Jane. He mentions his son-in-law, Dr. Anthony Newman, daughter Elizabeth Steward and daughter Nancy Ingram. (Hugh and Jane were under 21 years in 1779.) He men­ tions also John and Hugh Newman, sons of Dr. Anthony Newman, a son and daughter (no names) of Elizabeth Steward, and a grandson, Hugh Blake. In 1756, Wm. Montgomery and Fortune, his wife, sold to "Hugh Mont­ gomery, late of Philadelphia, Penna., but now of St. Luke's Parish, Rowan County," a lot in the town of Salisbury, North Carolina. In 1812, Hugh Montgomery of Campbell's County, Tenn., appoints an attorney to sell his land in Salisbury. This is in all probability the son, Hugh, mentioned in the above will.

William H. Montgomery, born Madrid N.

IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN: I, James Montgomery, of the County of Wythe, State of Virginia, being advanced in years, frail in body, but of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make and declare this to be my last will and testament in manner and form following, to wit: In the first place, I will that all my just debts be paid, which are but few and none of magnitude, out of those debts due to me, immediately after my decease, by my executor or executors hereafter nominated and 65 appointed, should there ·not be a sufficiency, so much of my personal estate, such as horses and cattle (negroes particularly excepted) as will be sufficient, sold at a rea­ sonable credit, and the money arising from such sales applied to aforesaid uses. I leave and devise unto my beloved wife, Cynthia Montgomery, the one-third part I am in possession of, and hold in jointing with my brother, Joseph Montgomery, including the mansion house, to­ gether with one-third part of all my other estate, negroes, horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, household, furniture, money, during her natural life; the other two-third of my estate I will unto my two daughters, Mary W.

Montgomery and Elizabeth C. Montgomery, and their heirs forever, equally. Again, I will, in case any dispute should arise in the division of my property between themselves or ~heir mother or their husbands or legal representatives, such dispute or disputes shall be settled from time to time by three or four disinterested men appointed by Wythe court. Again I will, should it appear to my executor or executors that hiring my negroes, all but what will be sufficient to till the plantation I live on, the same be hired out, and the money put to interest. Again I will, at such times as it should appear to my executor or executors that the increase of the stock of horses, cattle, hogs, etc., should become burthensome (negroes excepted) sold, and the money put to interest as aforesaid, only reserving what may be sufficient to clothe, educate, and bring up my said daughters in a genteel manner. Again, I will and devise, should either of my daughters die without issue, the whole estate to descend to the 66 survivor; in case both should die without issue, the whole to descend to my nephew, James Montgomery, son of my brother Joseph Montgomery, and his heirs and legal representatives forever. Lastly and finally, I do nominate, constitute, appoint, my beloved wife, Cynthia Montgomery, my nephew, Samuel Montgomery, son of my brother John Montgomery, deceased, and Gordon Cloyd and Robert Sproull, my executors to this I my last will and testament, revoking all former wills and testaments by me made, and do declare this to be my last will and testament.

In speaking of the carelessness in spelling the name Mont­ gomery it says: "It appears that it has been spelled forty-four dif­ ferent ways during the interval between the commence­ ment of the eleventh and the close of the seventeenth century, as the following list will show: 1. Montgomeryie ...... 1000 2. Mundegumbri ...... 1170 3. Mundegumeri ...... • ...... 1170 4. Mundegumry ...... 1362 5. Mundgumry ...... 1362 6. Mungumbry ...... 1362 7. Moungumry ...... 1366 8.

Montgomery ...... _.. _. .... 167 4" Notwithstanding all these changes and this careless- ness, you can clearly understand that the name is in­ tended for Montgomery. Thomas H. Montgomery of Philadelphia, says: "The earliest records we have of the family of Mont­ gomery place its origin in the north of F ranee in the ninth century. I ts history leads us up from the present through an unbroken succession of ten centuries in length to the first known of the name, Roger de Mont­ gomerie, who was Count of Montgomerie before the coming of Rollo in 912. A native of N eustrio himself, his ancestors were probably for many generations back natives of that province, which, when conquered by the Northmen, was afterwards known as Normandy."

84 ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF MONTGOMERY "The derivation of the name Montgomery can be but a matter of conjecture. It is suggested, however, by a writer who has made the derivation of proper names a study, to be a corruption of the Latin-'Mons Gomeris'­ Gomer' s Mount. Gomer, the son of Japhet, being the hereditary name of the Gauls. There was more than one locality in. Europe bearing this designation. Eustice, in his 'Classical Tour,' mentions that not far from Loretto in Italy is a lofty hill called "Monte Gomero,' which was the ancient 'cumerium promontorium;' and it is quite possible that a locality bearing a similar designation in Menstro, embraced within the hereditary estates of one family, should have conferred its name on its lords. This view of its derivation is confirmed by the name 'Mons Gomerici,' being equally with 'Montgomery' applied by the English to the town in Wales subsequently named after Roger-De-Montgomerie, whose property it had be­ come. The spelling of the name has been various. 'Mont­ gomeri' and 'Mundgumbrie' were the most frequently used by the earlier generations, but later 'Montgomerie' was employed altogether, until within a century, when many of the branches substituted 'Montgomery' for that having the terminal 'ie.' " . The Montgomery Manuscript, speaking more fully on this question, says: "Other instances of other divers ways, to the purpose aforesaid (that of keeping up surnames) I willingly pass over; because the premises are foreign to my intended design, which is not general, but special. And it being without my reach to ascertain whence the origin of the Montgomerys in the province of Normandy, is deduced as being a stranger to the records of the Count of that surname may have, and to what the French histories, except Du-serres, de Girard and others as heralds, may mention thereof, viz: Whether the family are native Gauls 85 and homologized in their style, with the Normans; or come in with them into that country, now called Nor­ mandy, from the Colony, who, transmigrating from the north part, perchance, of Denmark or Sweedland, seated themselves there. I must lay this matter aside and not debate nor determine it; being totally ignorant thereof. But what I have read of the surname in France shall be remembered after mention hath been made of the Mont­ gomery families in England, Scotland and Ireland. How­ ever, for the honor of the nation in general, let it be known to all men that there is at this day the title of a Count or Earl- the dignity is all one, though the words be of divers languages-in Latin called 'Comes'-in all his matters four kingdoms, viz: Count de Montgomery in F ranee, Earl of Montgomery in England, Earl of Eglinton in Scotland, and Earl of Mount Alexander in Ireland. The like where­ of cannot be truly said, as I believe, of any other surname in all the world." As to whether the Montgomeries were originally French or Northmen- "Count Roger Montgomery, who came to England in the year 1068, and not in 1066 as is generally supposed, had a son also named Roger, who spoke of himself and his father in the act of foundation for the Abby of Troarn as follows: 'Ago Rogerus ex Normannis Normannus Magni autem Rogerii filius.'" (See Fraser's Memorials, vol. 1, page 1.) In these words Montgomery undoubtedly claimed for himself a Scandinavian descent, although Sir Francis Pal­ grave on the Authority of the Monk of Jumieges stoutly contests this point in his -history of Normandy and Eng­ land, (chapter 5, page 28,) as follows: He, Roger, desig­ nated himself as Northmonnus Northmonrium; but for all practical purposes he was a Frenchman of the French­ men, though he might not like to own it. The ancestral reminiscence must have resulted from peculiar fancy. 86 No Montgomery possessed or transmitted any memorials of his Norman progenitors. But thus to set aside Count Roger's distinct assertion of his Norman descent some evi­ dence would be necessary. "The old Scottish minstrels or rhymes were expected to recite poems in connection with the surnames of the leading nobility who were praised especially for martial exploits." "Very few, if indeed any, of the minstrels' chantings on his theme now remain. There was published in Glas­ gow in 1770 a ballad of the seventeenth century entitled 'Memrables of the Montgomeries,' which appears to have been manufactured from some earlier productions, and may thus be regarded as a representation of what was sung by the minstrels respecting certain martial exploits performed by members of the family. This poem was printed from the only copy known to remain, which has been preserved above sixty years by the care of Hugh Montgomery, Sr., at Eglinton, long one of the factors of the family of Eglin- ,, ton. "It was reprinted in 1822; the author represents the founder of the family to have been a noble Roman and the famiiy name to have been derived from 'Gomericus,' a mountain in Italy. From this original seat a descendant came to F ranee, where another branch was founded, which flourished for the long space of six centuries. The repre­ sentatives of this branch came to England with William the Conqueror, and so mightily distinguished himself at the battle of Hastings that" this rhyme was recited in his honor: "Earl Roger-then the greatest man Next to the King, was thought: And nothing that he could desire But it to him was brought.

Montgomery town, Montgomery shire1 And Earl of Shrewsberie. 87 Arundale do show· this man Of grandeur full to be." A grandson of Earl Roger, named Philip~ settled and was the founder of the Scottish house- "Where many ages they did live, By king and country loved · As men of valor and renown Who were with honor moved To shun no hazard when they could To either service do. Thus did they live, thus did they spend Their blood and money too.'' Now this Earl Roger came into England with William the Conqueror in 1068, and Philip was born 1101. Although the family was not known in Normandy before the conquest of that province by Raio of Hrolf, the Granger, it may have come there in some previous in­ vasion from the North, a supposition rendered highly probable by the readiness, even the delight, with which the Montgomerys evidently welcomed the coming of Hrolf. The facts, too, of the Montgomerys having retained their landed possessions undisturbed by the northern con­ querors, and of their soon having formed marriage al­ liances with the family of Hrolf, lead .to the same con­ clusion. "Yves de Bellesme, Count of Alencon in Normandy, who died in 944, is the first person of whom there is his­ torical _trace who bore the name of Montgomery. The family was, next to the King's, the most powerful in Nor­ mandy. (See page 543 of Vol. XVII, Encyclopedia Brit­ tanica.) All of the Montgomery family throughout the earth are without doubt descended from this source. Roger de Montgomery, who belonged to this Norman family, commanded the vanguard of King William's army at Hastings, 14 October, 1068, when he conquered Eng­ land, was made an earl, and settled there, his descendants 88 afterwards spreading into Scotland and Ireland. The Irish branch was very prolific, and most Americans who bear the name are descended from some poor relation of Sir Hugh of Newtown, County Down. Here is my theory of the meaning of the name. 'Mont' is a French word meaning mountain, while 'gom' is Swedish or Danish for the word man; hence we have 'mountain man' or man of the mount~in. As the family had an ancestry of North­ men or Scandinavians, and as the Norman language be­ came mingled with the French, as it afterwards did with the English and finally ceased to be spoken at all, such an origin of the name becomes plausible, although I do not claim that there is any proof of the correctness of this t heory. tt DEATH OF DR.

Grandson, Robert Montgomery Murray Grandson, John Murray THE MONTGOMERY-CLARKSON FAMILY Richard Montgomery was born in Paisley, near Glasgow, Scotland, about the year, 1778. He married, in Paisley, Annabell Clarkson, in the latter part of the year, 1808. In 1"11 he moved with his family from Glasgow to Philadelphra:;-.penn., where he engaged in mercantile business. He brought with him from Scotland a thread machine, and during the war of 1812, manufactured thread with profit, but after the war abandoned that business. He had a sister, who also came to Philadelphia, .and married a man named Lee. She died young, leaving two sons in Philadelphia, named Richard Lee and William Henry Lee.

92 In 1817 or 1818, Richard Montgomery, with his family, crossed. the mountains of Pennsylvania to Pitts­ burg, by means of the old-time stage. At Pittsburg he procured a boat and descended the Ohio river, stopping a few days in Cincinnati, and finally landing at Louisville, Ky. He remained in Louisville, New Albany and Jeffer­ sonville, Ind., about two years, conducting a store business. While in Jeffersonville he met John Fischli, who had pur­ chased a large quantity of land from the Government in Jackson county, Indiana, and persuaded him to remove to the new region. Accordingly he entered an eighty­ acre tract of land near Rockford, Ind., on 27 September, 1820, and immediately removed to his new purchase •. He took with him a stock of goods, valued at perhaps $800, which was subsequently burned while stored in a log building on the farm. The family records were also de­ stroyed by fire. From this time for ward he was engaged in clearing and tilling his land. He had poetic ability, and wrote a number of verses. A volume of manuscript had been placed with a Louisville house for publication, but unfortunately this firm was burned out and his manuscript destroyed. None of his productions, so far as known remain in existence. He died in· February, 1849, at Spring Glen Farm, the name he had given to his home. These children, ten in number, were born to Richard and Annabell (Clarkson) Montgomery: Annabell, born in Glasgow, 20 June, 1810, died 2 January, 1819.

APRIL, 1917

AN IRISH-AMERICAN MONTGOMERY LINE It By THOMAS MCBURNEY MONTGOMERY I . William Montgomery was descended from one of the Scottish branches of that name who came to Ireland prior to or about the middle of the seventeenth cen­ tury. He inherited a tract of land of one thousand acres under lease from the Sackingham family located in county Antrim and lying to the north and east of what is now the village of Crumlin. This William Montgomery was married three times, and by his first or second marriages, which is uncertain, he had four sons: 1. William. 2. John. 3. Henry. 4. James. By his third marriage to a sister of Sir Henry Mont­ gomery, baronet of county Londonderry, he had one son: 5. Archibald. To his son Archibald he devised his family seat known as Boltna-Connell, having previously given his other children other portions of his one thousand acre tract. II William Montgomery of Crosslogdrum in county Antrim, parish of Killead, eldest son of William Mont­ gomery, left a will dated 30, August 1723, and proved 28, September 1723, mentioning five children,· but only

113 naming one of them, Thomas, and his wife Ann. He appointed his brothers John and Henry executors, and his friend John Wilson and brother James overseers of his executors. John Montgomery, second son of William Mont­ gomery, is mentioned in the biography of the Reverend Henry Montgomery as having settled in county Down at Bunker Hill near Belfast. Henry Montgomery, third son of William Mont­ gomery, was of Crosshill. He made his will dated 5, Sep­ tember 1751, in which he gives the names of his children: 1. Thomas. 2. Alexander. 3. Deceased wife of Samuel Shaw, having left three daughters surviving her. 4. John. 5. Henry. 6. William. After giving sundry legacies and other land to certain of his children he further willed as follows: "I leave my lease of the land now held by Richard Belshey at the expiration of the lease to my son Thomas Montgomery and my son William Montgomery equally between them." The lands so devised to Thomas and William Mont­ gomery were subsequently divided between them so that Thomas came into possession of that portion lying on the left hand of a road running north and di vi ding the two parcels and called Glen Darragh, while William was in possession of that portion lying on the right hand of said road and called Ben Neagh; both the pieces of land are but a short distance north of Crumlin. James Montgomery of Crosshill, county Antrim and parish of Killead, fourth son of William Montgomery, made his will without date but proved 9, December 1728, mentioning two sons John and William, devising his

114 lease to his sons and referring to the rest of his children, six in number, as daughters. Archibald Montgomery, fifth son of William Mont­ gomery, married, in 1767, Sarah Campbell, daughter of John and -- (Cunningham) Campbell of Killealy in Killead. By his will dated 13, January 1816, and proved 20, September 1823, he makes sundry bequests to his children: 1. William. 2. John. 3. Margaret. 4. Elizabeth Kirker (this name evidently her mar- riage name). 5. Josias, otherwise Joshua. 6. Alexander. 7. Henry. 8. Archibald not mentioned in will, but elsewhere named as a son. Of the first six above named no positive information is at hand. III Thomas Montgomery who was possessed, under devise from his father Henry Montgomery and by subse­ quent partition with his brother William, of the land known as Glen Darragh left to survive him sons and daughters, but the only two directly traced were: 1. Thomas. 2. John. Thomas seems to have come into possession of Glen Darragh, but becoming embarrassed, it was re-entered for nonpayment of rent and absorbed into the original demesne. William Montgomery of the parish of Killead and county Antrim, youngest son of Henry Montgomery, made his will 2 June, 1764, whereby he provided prin-

115 cipally for his wife Sarah~ but by codicil he provided as follows: "Mem: before signing: the upper part land which con­ tains thirty-seven acres I leave to my son, Robert Mont­ gomery, with the houses thereon except that I have left to my wife Sarah, and as to the underpart of my lands containing thirty-seven acres, I leave to be divided among my four daughters and in case any of them should die same to be divided equally among the survivors." Of these children: 1. Robert, left no issue. 2. Bessie, married Thomas Kennedy and had nu- merous descendants. 3. Sady or Sarah, married a Davidson and left issue. 4. Not known. 5. Not known. Henry Montgomery, eldest son of Archibald and Sarah (Campbell) Montgomery, born 16, January 1788, married, 6, April 1812, Elizabeth Swan, born in 1794 and died in 1872, daughter of Hugh and Lillian (Dickey) Swan. The Reverend Henry Montgomery was a Presby­ terian minister, who led a secession movement and formed what is known as the non-conformant branch of that church. This movement with some references to his genealogy, is set out in a biography, the first volume only of which was published. He was settled over a church in Dunmurray, Ireland, and his death occurred 18, Decem­ ber 1865, previous to which, on 25, November 1864, he executed his will which was duly proved and recorded. The children as appears by the will were: 1. Lilly. 2. Archibald, whose daughter Lydia is also named. 3. Sally, wife of William Saunderson. 4. Lizzie, wife of the Reverend John A. Crozier, whose son, Henry Montgomery Crozier, is also named. 5. Another grandson, William Herdman Ash, is also named, but whose son he was is not mentioned. 116 Archibald Montgomery, youngest son of Archibald and Sarah (Campbell) Montgomery, left surviving five children: 1. Archibald, born 11, December 1821. 2. A daughter, married John Carlile. 3. A daughter, married -- Moore. 4. Margaret, born -- 1817, married John R. Neill, and died 4, May 1903. 5. Eliza, married James A. Pirrie. (To be Continued) MAJOR ELIJAH MONTGOMERY The city of Montgomery, Ala., was named for Maj. Elijah Montgomery, who was on Gen. Jackson's staff. This information came from his daughter, Mrs. Carolina Thrower, afterward Mrs. Cole (now deceased) of Mobile, Ala. Her daughter has his portrait. Maj. Montgomery opened the battle of New Orleans. Jackson and his staff were at supper when Jackson received the intelligence that the British were landing. He immediately sent Mont­ gomery with squads of soldiers, and the enemy was driven to their boats. The next day was the famous battle of New Orleans. Mrs. John Payne, of Lexington (deceased), and Mrs. James Lane, of Clark county, Ky., were nieces of Major Montgomery. His wife was the sister of the wife of Capt. John Edmiston. LONDONDERRY, N. H., FAMILIES (From Town Records) William Montgomery martjed Mary W. Anderson in March, 1814. Their daughter, Jane W., born in Lon­ donderry, 14 May, 1815.

MONTGOMERY FAMILY HISTORY The histories principally devoted to the Montgomery family are as fallows: The work of William Montgomery, written between 1698 aiid 1704, is the earliest existing attempt to illus­ trate the family history, and it is especially valuable be­ cause treating of persons who came within the reach of his personal knowledge and events that had occurred dur­ ing the period of his own life. Since these memoirs were written the following compilations have been made, in­ tended·by. their authors chiefty to illustrate the genealogical history of the Montgonierys. 1. Hugh Montgomery, of Broomlands, in the parish of Irvin, compiled, prior to the year 1760, what is known as the Broomlands Manuscript, containing records of the Montgomery family from an early period. The author of this work ( which is still in manuscript) died in 17 66, aged eighty years. 2. John Hamilton Montgomery of Barnahill, in the county of Ayr, who was a captain in the 76th regiment, 118 wrote a genealogy of the family of the Montgomerys compiled from various authorities, which also remains in manuscript. Patterson's Account of the Parishes and Families of Ayrshire, (Vol. 11, page 225, note 3) Mrs. E. G. S. Reilly printed for private circulation in 1842 a genealogical history of the family of Montgomerys com­ prising the lines of Eglinton and Braidstane in Scotland, and Mt. Alexander and Gr~y-Abbey in Ireland. She was the daughter of the Rev. Hugh Montgomery of Rose­ mount, who died in 1815, and a descendant through John of Gransheogh, in common with the Braidstane line. 4. William Anderson printed at Edinburgh, in 1858, a genealogical account of the family of Montgomerie, for­ merly of Brigend of Doon Ayrshire, lineal representative of the ancient and noble families of Eglinton and Lyle. This account commences only with the beginning of the sixteenth century. 5. James Fraser published at Edinburgh, in 1859, two volumes, quarto, entitled Memorials of the Mont­ gomeries, Earls of Eglinton. This is a most valuable work, principally because in it are printed many original let­ ters, charters and marriage contracts. The letters con­ tain much important information · on public as well as family affairs between the years 1170 and 1728. 6. Thomas Harrison Montgomery published at Phila­ delphia, in 1863, a genealogical history of the Montgom­ erys, including Montgomery pedigree, a work which con­ tains much information respecting the families of the surname who emigrated to the United States. HUGH OF LONDONDERRY Hugh Montgomery came from the north of Ireland to Casco Bay, Portsmouth, N. H., in 1718, and removed to Londonderry, N. H., and married Jane, daughter of Rev. James McGregor. They had a son Hugh (2) born there, about 1720, and then moved to Londonderry, Vt. There a grandson, Hugh (3) was born about 1752. 119 A COUNTY DERRY FAMILY Captain Alexander Montgo~~ry emigrated from Scotland previous to 1690, and settled in county Derry, ·Ireland. His son Alexander died at the age of thirty-six, leaving two sons, William and Alexander. William had five sons, William, Richard, John, Alexander and Robert. Four of these came to this country previous to the Revo­ lution; two settled in Pennsylvania, one in Kentucky and one in North Carolina. John, who died in 1808, fought in the war, commanding a Pennsylvania regiment, and serving under Washington in.1776 and 1777. He also acted as- a commissioner ·to conclude a treaty with the western Indians at Fort Pitt. Richard also fought '' and was wounded many times."

(To be Continued) A PHILADELPHIA MERCHANT When John Montgomery, son of James and Esther (Wood) Montgomery, died, the Philadelphi~ American Daily Adoertiser, of 20, March 1794, contained this obituary notice: On Monday afternoon were interred in Christ Church graveyard the remains of John Montgomery, merchant, of this city. The numerous and respectable body of citizens, who attended his plain and republican funeral, evinced the high ideas entertained of the public and private merits of this excellent citizen. As a merchant, he exhibited for twenty years uniform industry, integrity, and punctua~ly. His word was a bond to all who transacted business with him. His vir­ tues of a citizen commanded esteem and respect wherever they were known. The weakness of his constitution, which laid the foundation of the disorder which conveyed him to the grave, was thought to have been induced by the toils and dangers to which he exposed himself as a member of the Philadelphia troop of horse during the late war. He loved order, as well as liberty, and was no less 126 attached to the present wise and equal government of his country, then he was to its Independence. As a son, a brother, a husband, a father, and a friend, he will never cease to Ii ve in the bosoms of those to whom he sustained these tender relations.
