Hello all-- I've posted this or a similar message on several sites, so if you've seen this before, feel free to ignore. I suspect our John Montgomery was in Madison Co. GA in 1820 (35 yrs. old). [Census: 100021-10010.] I also notice a lot of neighbor's surnames there. John Montgomery was in St. Clair Co. AL 1830--1840. As were William and Elizabeth Montgomery (b. 1788 NC -- ch: Crawford, Dorcas, Sarah, Susan), and David and Sallie Montgomery (b. 1790 SC -- ch. may be Augustus, Wm. P?). Don't know if or how they're related. John Montgomery is believed to be the son of Robert (and Mary ROBINSON) Montgomery, Mecklenburg Co. North Carolina,1738-1834. Robert only had three male descendants: 1785 John and Margaret (BICKET/Becket) Montgomery, 1777 James and Rebekah (CLARK) Montgomery and 1794 Josiah and Mary (BARNETT) Montgomery. Robert Montgomery, Jr. was unmarried. Robert's married daughters were: 1777 William and Lucinda (Montgomery) CLARK, 1789 John and Margaret (Montgomery) WITHERSPOON, 1787 Dave E. and Rebekah (Montgomery) BARNETT, 1790 James and Dorcas (Montgomery) BARNETT, 1800 James and Jane (Montgomery) PORTER, 1800 Isaac and Mary (Montgomery) MASON. Robert Montgomery, Sr. was the son of John and Martha MONTGOMERY, N. Ireland to Lancaster Co. PA ca. 1730-1735. Birthdates are approx. Would anyone have further info on these families? I've put our family lineage on a webpage: http://www.geocities.com/wm9600/montgomery.html John and Robert's families are at the bottom of the page. I work backwards. Would appreciate corrections or info anyone would like to add. I'm still working on this. The St. Clair page doesn't go anywhere yet. I do have more info on our generations 3-6, children/marriages, descendants in Central Alabama (Tuscaloosa/St. Clair Co.). I'm putting that into a gedcom, but it's a lot so I'm not finished yet. The following was posted on the Montgomery-L. It might help some because it includes related surnames and migration info. For other AL/GA researchers, a Charles Montgomery was in Tuscaloosa Co. AL by 1830, as was a Jane Montgomery -- still don't know the relationship. Esther Montgomery m. John HINTON in Tuscaloosa Co. 1823. Charles administered John Hinton's will. John Montgomery (b. 1785 NC, d. 1870 Tuscaloosa Co. AL) arrived bef. 1850 from St. Clair Co. Alabama. William CAMPBELL, b. 1791 was right next door to John from what I can see. I only mention this because William Campbell is the first name in the John C. Montgomery family bible. William P. POOL, b. 1792 SC, was another neighbor. (His son? Wilson B. POOL was born 1812, Greenville Dist. SC, died 1894 in Tippah Co. MS. His wife was Ann HOOD.) GRIFFINS were also neighbors. Campbells, Taylors and Pools were related. I don't know the relationship between these early Montgomerys or William Campbell, yet they were all neighbors. Sorry, I never have one question, I have 15.
