COMMENT: John who married Esther is most likely the son of James of Antrim, Ulster according to Erick D. Montgomery of Augusta, Ga. Erick points out that the children of Alexander had guardians appointed upon his death indicating they were less than 21 years of age at the time of John's marriage in 1738. COMMENT Dr. John Fleshman M. on pg 19 of "John & Esther Houston Montgomery 1719- 1793' by quoting pg 661-62 of 'History of Chester County' by Futhey & Cope, 1881' where an Indenture dated 13 Oct, 1761 by John and Esther, Moses and Elizabeth, William, and Margaret Montgomery, heirs of Alexander, release their interest in 650 acres to Daniel.
