I'm searching for Shadrack MONTGOMERY, b 26 Jan 1791. According to his obit he was born in Chester Co, PA. Died 18 Oct 1871; Van Buren Twp., Shelby Co. Ohio. I know nothing of Shadrack's parents beyond that his mother remarried (don't know if in PA or OH). She married a gentleman named SPRINGER. Again no given name. Shadrack was living in OH prior to the War of 1812. He served several tours of duty in the war both in the Ohio militia and in the regular army (using the name of MONTGOMERY as well as SPRINGER). He was captured by the British at Detroit and was forced to march to Fort Niagara where he was later paroled. He has an extensive pension file which indicates that he married Isabella McCULLOUGH in Madison Co. OH on 07 Sept 1816. Does anyone have any knowledge of Shadrack's parents or siblings or confirmation that he was born in Chester Co. PA? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Harold Lefevre [email protected]
