| Notes |
- The first known ancestor on this family tree began with Heremotre,
also known as Hermes, in Greek; Heremod, in Saxon pedigrees; Mercury
and Odin who lived about the time of Christ. All pedigrees of
Heremotre traceback to the Kings of Troy, to Japheth and Noah.
Nine generations later the Montgomery pedigree commences to the
present time with Woden who lived in the third century. Woden owned
large territories in Turkey. At this time Turkey was populated not
by Turks,but Trojans. Woden is said to have fled before the Romans
across Europe,through Gaul, Germany, to Denmark and finally to
Scandanavia. Woden's sons were: Baldaeg, the eldest, who became
the ancestor of the Kings of Wessex; Bo, also called Vale, whose
mother was Rind, a Ruthenian princess; and our ancestor, the
youngest son, Vegdegg, or Vecta.
