U?) Montgomery (Richardson) is apparently the daughter of Dr. James Montgomery of Maryland. Searching for him in Google was not too difficult. Google Books alluded to a 1978 issue of the Maryland Genealogical Society in 1978. The only excerpt shown in the link was: "for Dr. JAMES MONTGOMERY and CAROLINE his wife, their daughter, SARAH AUGUSTA, bom July 25th 1838 1839: Feb. 11th Baptized by the Right Rev'd Bishop DOANE," Ancestry records show a Dr. James Montgomery marrying a Dr. Caroline Kennedy on 6 April 1831 in Harford Co., MD. In GenealogyBank, the Maryland Sun of Aug. 25, 1915, has an historical obituary (copy attached): "RICHARDSON-- On August 18, 1915, at Concord, Tenn., SALLIE A. widow of Dr. Summerfield Richardson and daughter of Dr. James Montgomery, deceased. Interment at Westminster, Md., of which due notice will be given." [note that Sallie is often a nickname for Sarah. Sounds as though she may have used Sallie also, so you'd need to check for both records.) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
