Oh Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Madison/730 Surname: Montgomery ------------------------- This is like looking for a needle in a haystack but my ancestor, Shadrach Montgomery also came to Madison County, Ohio in 1803 from Pennsylvania with his mother. This is according to his obituary. However, I have grown old searching for the names of his parents without success. He took the alias of Shadrach Springer during the War of 1812 when he was captured in General Hull's surrender, which according to records was his step-father's last name. I am hoping that you may have seen this name in your researching as a possible family connection. He named children of his marriage to Isabella McCullough, Hannah, Sarah and David but then again these were very common names then. Hoping maybe there is a connection and thank you for your time. Like I said this is hoping for the impossible but crazier things have led us to solving a problem in our researching. Judy
