Facts and Events
Advisory
The connection to the Brigend Montgomeries is doubtful. The later is a fairly well researched and documented lineage whose founder, William Montgomery, came to America in the first quarter of the 18th century, settling near his father-in-law John Burnett in Monmouth County. Burnett was one of the New Jersey Proprietors. William had a son Alexander, but he is listed in the family history with no further information about his history. Its possible that he went to New Castle county, but evidence of that is needed to prove this connection. There were several "Alexander Montgomeries" in the New Castle area in the 1740's and 1750's, as shown by the Delaware Calendar of Wills. They are presumably related, perhaps father and son. In anycase, if the parents current listed for this Alexander are correct, then its unlikely that he is of the Brigend Montgomeries. William's father is identified as John Montgomery of Brigend, Argyleshire, Scotland. Additional work needed.
Notes
- From "The Montgomery family magazine: genealogical, historical and biographical" (Volume yr.1915-1917).
- The will of Alexander Montgomery, of Mill Creek, New Castle Co., Penn., 10 September, 1746, gave his land to sons William and Daniel. They paid something to other children. In 1761, John Montgomery and wife Esther, Moses Montgomery and wife Margaret, released to Daniel his share. William was eleven years old at time of parent's death. Daniel and Margaret and William Montgomery moved at the same time to Northumberland County.
