History of Clan Montgomery
1/31/2011 Clan Montgomery History CLAN MONTGOMERY SOCIETY Home | Database | Links | Join | Officers | Games | AGM | Shop | News | Guestbook | About Clan Montgomery History History | Symbols | Migrations | Prayer A Thousand Year Tradition Clan Montgomery is one of the oldest Scottish Clans, and its Chronicles are closely interwoven with Scottish history. The progenitors of this Clan were Norman and came from the Castle of Sainte Foy de Montgomery, near Lissieux, Normandy, France. Roger de Montgomery arrived in England with his kinsman, William the Conqueror, in 1066. In 1069 Roger was granted lands on the Welsh border in the County which later took his name, Montgomeryshire. In 1083 he built Shrewsbury Abbey where he is entombed. According to the Doomsday Book, in 1086 he owned 150 castles and lordships within ten counties of England. Roger's grandson Robert de Montgomery, went to Scotland with Walter FitzAlan, also of the Welsh border country, who became High Steward of Scotland and progenitor of the great Stewart Clan. Robert was granted lands by King David I of Scotland in Renfrewshire, and the manor of Eaglesham became the Clan seat of the Montgomerys for many centuries. From 1165 to 1177 the name of Montgomery is mentioned in many grants and Charters, and the Clan territories expanded considerably. Sir John Montgomery, 7th Chief of the Clan, distinguished himself at the Battle of Otterburn in 1388 when he captured Harry Hotspur, Chief of the Percys. Percy's ransom was to build the Castle of Polnoon for Montgomery. John Montgomery later acquired the baronies of Eglinton and Androssan when he married the heiress daughter of Hugh Eglinton. -

Connecting to Clan Montgomery
CONNECTING TO CLAN MONTGOMERY I grew up in a family of four girls - a middle child. My parents followed the Southern custom of naming their children for family members. My mother, Anna Withers Montgomery, had three sisters: Mary, Margaret, and Jane. My father, Carl Ruffin Pritchett had one sister: Dorothy. My two older sisters became Mary Anna and Peggy Jane. I became Dorothy Montgomery and my youngest sister became Elizabeth Withers. I loved my Montgomery middle name and felt part of a larger family -Clan Montgomery. Mama-Anna Withers Montgomery Pritchett-And Daughters Top: Mary Anna, Peggy Jane. Botton:Elizabeth Withers, Dorothy Montgomery Uncle, Hugh Reid Montgomery, often spoke about Clan Montgomery and was the Chaplain of Clan Montgomery Society International for many years. I loved seeing him wear his Montgomery tartan tie. His wife, Martha, wore a Montgomerytartan skirt, and sash to clan gatherings. They wore pins with the clan crest and Montgomery (also spelled Montgomerie in Scotland) motto: Gardez Bien (Look Well). The clan crestis rather gruesome – a woman holding an anchor in one hand and holding the hair of a savage’s head in the other hand. One source reasoned that the woman is considered a symbol of liberty, virtue, and victory of the weak over the strong in a just cause. The anchor is a symbol of good luck.

Semiannual Report to the Congress October 1, 2003
Semiannual Report to the Congress October 1, 2003 – March 31, 2004 Volume 51 Office of Inspector General U.S. Department of Labor A Message from the Inspector General I am pleased to transmit the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) Semiannual Report to the Congress on our significant activities. The report covers the six-month period ending March 31, 2004. During this reporting period, we issued 45 audits and identified nearly $13 million in questioned costs. Moreover, we closed 218 investigations and achieved 223 indictments, 166 convictions, and nearly $60.3 million in monetary accomplishments. Among our audit and evaluation findings this reporting period are: • After a $22 million investment by DOL to improve the Davis-Bacon prevailing wage determination process, problems persist with wage data accuracy, survey methodology, and the timeliness of wage determinations. • Vulnerabilities in the management of the migration of DOL payroll activities to the National Finance Center could impede the implementation of e-payroll by the September 30 deadline. • An estimated $1.67 million in overpayments of Federal Disaster Unemployment Assistance were made in Florida due to the State’s improper application of eligibility and filing requirements. • The state of Ohio had not fully implemented its Workforce Investment Act program after two years of operation and was not in compliance with program requirements. • An employer association that hires about one-third of foreign workers under the Temporary Agricultural labor certification program did not accurately report aliens and that 50% had abandoned their jobs and their whereabouts were unknown. OIG investigations into labor racketeering and program fraud, produced equally significant results, including: • The guilty plea by the international president of the United Transportation Union to labor racketeering conspiracy charges for a scheme to bribe attorneys. -

********************************************************************************* GENEALOGISTS FOR THE SCOTTISH CLANS by Robert D. McLaren 7810 Kincardine Court Alexandria, VA 22315-4025 (703) 971-6924 [email protected] 8 April 2000 Version 2000-3 © Copyright 2000 Robert D. McLaren The following list is a compilation of Clan Genealogists or Clan points of contact for genealogy (for the Scottish Clans and Family Associations). The amount of information available from these genealogists varies greatly, with some having extensive records. For example, the clan genealogist for Clan Scott maintains a database of all SCOTTs and is a coordinator of the SCOTT One Name Society. He has about 53,000 records on file dealing with more than 2,000 family lines. The clan genealogist/historian for Clan Barclay also is a coordinator for the BARCLAY One Name Society. She has about 19,000 BARCLAY/BARKLEY and collateral names on file dealing with 125 family lines. The Clan Morrison historian has a 6,000-name database of MORRISON families in the U.S. and Canada. Some clans have genealogy committees. When I learn about them I will include committee members in this listing. Some of these members only cover one or a few states. In these cases, I note the states that particular member covers. Also, some clan genealogists specialize in one surname of a clan. Clan MacKay, for example, has many surname genealogists. I am listing these surnames under the parent clan with a note (i.e., See also Mackie). The actual genealogist and his/her address will be listed under the surname (i.e., Mackie). For some clans, more than one society exists. -

2018-2019 to the Honorable Andrew M
WATERFRONT COMMISSION OF NEW YORK HARBOR ANNUAL REPORT 2018-2019 To the Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor To the Honorable Phil Murphy, Governor and the Legislature of the State of New York and the Legislature of the State of New Jersey MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “When those involved in traditional organized crime engage in schemes such as loansharking and illegal gambling, they profit at the expense of victims who are struggling with debt, gambling problems, and other issues. By prosecuting the men who ran these schemes and putting key defendants behind bars, we send a message that we will not tolerate these corrosive criminal activities that harm individuals, families and society as a whole.” - New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal, announcing guilty pleas on May 1, 2019, in the Waterfront Commission’s joint investigation, “Operation Fistful” I am pleased to present to you the 2018-2019 Annual Report of the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor. This was a landmark year for the Commission, as we continued to employ innovative techniques and strategic approaches in carrying out our core mission to investigate, deter, combat and remedy criminal activity and influence in the Port of New York-New Jersey and to ensure fair hiring and employment practices. On May 1, 2019, we proudly announced the guilty pleas of five members or associates of the Genovese crime family as part of our joint investigation, “Operation Fistful,” in which they were charged with racketeering for reaping millions of dollars in criminal profits through loansharking, illegal check cashing, gambling and money laundering in the Port district, including laundering of proceeds from narcotics trafficking. -
