Posted on: Pueblo Co. Co Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Co/Pueblo/154 Surname: Montgomery ------------------------- Looking for the family of David Montgomery, who is listed on the Pueblo 1880 Census, Pueblo Township, Page 255. I believe he is the son of William P. Montgomery and Sarah Hall. In 1895, when William P. passed away, his obit listed his son David in Colorado. The David Montgomery I am looking for was born in Wisconsin. His parents had just left Westfield, NY, and stayed in Beaver Damn Wisconsin for a few years, were there for the 1850 Census. After David's birth, they traveled and settled in Lawrence, Kansas, Douglas County and were there for the 1860 census and Quantrels Raid. After this the family moved to Hays City, Ellis Co. Kansas, by 1875, where the father, William Penn Montgomery, practiced law, and also ran the city newspaper, the Hays Sentinal, with his other son Frank. W. P. died Oct. 1895, and his wife Sarah in 1906. Other children besides David and Frank were Ella who married Fred J. Harris and lived in Hays and Junction City, Mary who married Hill P. Wilson and stayed in Hays, and W. P. Jr. who also stayed in Hays. I believe the David I am seaking had a daughter named Ella, after his sister, and that she was an artist. I do not have the full census, only the index, but according to the index, these Montgomery's are listed on the same page: 1880 MONTGOMERY ANNIE* Pueblo County CO 255 Pueblo 1880 MONTGOMERY ELIZABETH* Pueblo County CO 255 Pueblo 1880 MONTGOMERY ELLA Pueblo County CO 255 Pueblo 1880 MONTGOMERY ISABEL Pueblo County CO 255 Pueblo Thanks you, Vicki Harris Richardson GVRichards@aol.com
