Hi, Shirley, While I agree with you about the 12 children of Margaret, I differ on the others. If I take David Middleton Edelen II's extensive list, including Peter Montgomery having three wives, I find the following. My grouping is according to the childrens' birth years and the marriage years that David assigns to the wives: First wife (name unknown): Mary, Francis and John Baptiste. Second wife (Catherine): James, Peter, Richard and Mary Magdalen. Third wife (Margaret): Basically your list.

I have a question about dau Mary Montgomery mentioned in the will of her mother Margaret, does Natalie Montgomery Baker give her a birth date? I have seen her given the birth date of 26 Jun 1739, but that date has also been given to dau Susannah that married a Higdon.

Hi, Shirley, It was an extensive list that Dave sent around earlier, and he has since commented to me that some of the children are suspect. I would prefer that David send the full list and the comment directly to you, since we have been told that long lists are to be avoided on this site. So, Dave, would you send the list and comment to Shirley Platt, please? - Thanks. - Bye from Bill Howard On Apr 22, 2007, at 2:25 AM, [email protected] wrote: > HI Bill, > > I don't think I have seen David's extensive list...can you forward > it, please? > > Shirley > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] > Sent: Sat, 21 Apr 2007 7:21 PM > Subject: Re: [MDCHARLE] Here's Montgomery line > > > Hi, Shirley, > > While I agree with you about the 12 children of Margaret, I differ on > the others. > If I take David Middleton Edelen II's extensive list, including Peter > Montgomery having three wives, I find the following.
