Excerpt: He was born in 1744. His father was Andrew Montour, a well-known metis who had Iroquois and French ancestors. His mother was a Delaware, the granddaughter of Sassoonam.2 Andrew Montour married twice and possibly three times. His was a large family. Late in the Revolutionary War, reports indicated that John was one of seven brothers or half-brothers.3 The English names of two are known: Debby, who was schooled in Philadelphia, and Thomas, who was killed during the Revolution. John Montour also had at least two sisters. Kayodaghscroony, or Madelina, was living with the Delaware in 1756, and Polly was cared for in Philadelphia in the late 1750s and early 1760s.
