I meant to reply to this but time got away from me. Natalie Montgomery Baker of Washington, Indiana thoroughly researched the lineage of Peter Montgomery, and all of her research is on microfilm at the Family History Library of the LDS Church. She was descended from Joseph Montgomery. I concur with Shirley Moller that Peter Montgomery Jr most likely never married. No record has ever been found (to our knowledge) to indicate that Peter Jr married and had children. If there is any new information out there on Peter Jr, I hope whoever has it will share it. Especially if there are direct descendants. Bear in mind that of the 12 children born to Peter and Margaret Montgomery, there were 2 sets of twins, and Elisha (the first) b. 1743, died in 1766; Ignatius died in 1777 and apparently Anne Mary and James Henry died bef 1777. Peter Montgomery and first wife, Catherine ____ had six children. Here is the abstract of the will of Peter Montgomery, the Immigrant: Montgomery, Peter Charles Co.

Here is some additional information from Bob Alvey, another researcher on this family: In Higdon Newsletter # 268, there are two interesting items on Margaret, the second wife of Peter Montgomery. This information was submitted and transcribed by a Rosemary Smith Dawood who lived in Chicago, IL at the time but who I understand currently lives in Scottsdale, AR She notes that Katherine Unknown, the first wife of Peter Montgomery died prior to 1737 and Peter married Margaret Unknown. Twelve children including two sets of twins were born to Peter and Margaret. On June 26, 1739, Susannah Montgomery was born, she married an Unknown Higdon and was living in 1773 at the time her mother, Margaret wrote her will.

Peter Jr. would have been about 21 when he married Margaret Unknown and started the large family. Hi Carl, I noticed you have gotten no response at all through or from the list regarding your question of Peter Jr and Margaret possibly being the parents to the children of Peter Montgomery Sr. and Margaret. Easily answered. In the will [see abstract below] of Margaret Montgomery she leaves to her son Joseph the land she bought of Peter Montgomery, Peter Montgomery is her step son. So no they were not married. I'm not even sure Peter Jr., got married.
