From Chalkley's:
- Vol. 2 - Page ---- --- James Montgomery, aged 68, deposes, in Wythe County, 6th November 1797, that he lived with his father, James, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. His father sent deponent's oldest brother, Robert, to Virginia to buy lands, and bought 654 acres on Catawba Creek, but one Clarke had bought part of the tract. Robert contracted as part payment to bring two uncommon large bells from Pennsylvania. Robert left his brother John on the land, returned to Pennsylvania, and then the father and family came. John was then about 21 years old.
- Vol. 2 - Page ---- -- Joseph Montgomery, aged 64, desposes, ditto. Brother of James above.
