We have the info you have related - and have not been able to document any of it yet.... except the reference to Alexander and the Amicable Society. My husband and I actually went to the Historical Library in Richmond, and there were several files of info on this. Enough to make it clear that this is not our Alexander - the death date was completely incompatible with what we know - As far as we know now, Alexander and Ann had just the 2 children, Charles Lewis, and Elizabeth - so the reference to Alexander having 4 daughters might mean that this is not our Alexander. It gets very confusing - I'm beginning to think that the name Alexander Montgomery is the Scottish equivalent to John Smith!!! But it is nice to know there is someone else hunting for him - one day we will track him down for sure! If there are particular things you need info wise in Charles Lewis's line, I and another cousin have done quite a bit of research on that, so I might be able to help. I live in Mason County, but Menard County IL, where all these Montgomerys wound up settling, is just 6 miles from my house, and I drive through there all the time. The town of Greenview is where many of them lived, and Charles actually donated a great deal of the property that the town is built on. Let me know if I can help with specific people, dates, etc... besides Alexander.... kathy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
