Notes:

Richard Montgomery, son of Alexander Jr. and Juda (Judith) Montgomery was born in Muddy York, which would become downtown Toronto when they adopted the old Indian name for the location. His older sister, Sarah Montgomery married William R. Marsh in York in 1804 but Richard was not born until 1807. In 1812, the American forces defeated the settlers in York and burned down the government buildings and all the records in York. The family had an Inn or tavern called "Bird in Hand". Because of a falling out between the father, Alexander and oldest son, John, they cut the tavern in half. John removed his half to a new location, called it "Sickle & Sheaf,theinfamous Montgomery Tavern once said the meeting place for Mackenzie's group of rebels hoping to gain more freedom from the crown with greater protection of rights. Armed rebels planned at the tavern to attack the Parliamentary buildings and British troups. John had sold the Tavern and was not there when is was burned in 1837. John was tried as one of the conspirators and sentenced to hang. Some were but John was transported to Fort Henry where he spent time with others until they escaped.
Richard learned trade of making wagon and spinning wheels. He is shown to have lived in Markham up until 1870 cencus. His son David must have learned "wood turning" from his father, Richard. Not much more is known about Richard except that he fathered 14 children and David was their ninth. 13 appear to have survived. Sarah Ann died but others married and most had very large families.
Recieved from Betty Lou Lynn, descendant of Mahala (Montgomery( & Chas. Ward Scott. were following additions to their known grandchildren in the Scott Line: Richard Charles Scott m. Julia m. Shindler and had: Evelyn, Mahala & Charles; Martha Hannah Scott m. John Rankin and had: Montgomery (Monty)Rankin & Earl Rankin. Joseph Andrew Scott m. Alberta Yakely (all their children given several years back by Jackey-Lou Daley Morran). Lillie Ida May Scott m.Hugh Campbell had Elsie, Gordon & Elman Campbell. Alexander Montgomery Scott m, Anna Penginna? Georgina McDonald had: Floyd, Ivan, Howard, Harold, Jesse & James Scott. Victoria Louise Scott m. Richard Henry Mitchel and had 8 children nad one baby died (shown on family group sheet) Everett Ward Scott m. Ethel Dell Denne & had: Dorothy, Betty & Verne Scott. Addie Violet Evelyn Scott m. Arthur Kent- had no issue. Statira Irene Scott m. Harry Cline & had: William, Charles, James, Clifford, Mary & Stanley Cline. Minthorn Lockwood & Florence (?) Scott were killed in auto accident in Ohio. Montgomery Androssen Eglinton Scott m. Catherine (Cassie) Stewart and had: Evelyn, Audrey, Joseph & Donald Scott. Mahala married second time to Stephen A. Howard.
When Alexander Jr. died in 1841, his eldest son, John was still in exile in Rochester, N.Y. Since there were bad feelings between Alexander Jr. & his son, Alexander III, he left a portion of his estate to daughters but the land was willed to his youngest son, Richard Montgomery in northwest corner ofYonge and Queen Street, composed of 600 acres. Statira & her husband, Stillwell Willson along with Alexander & Rebecca (Willson)MontgomeryIII were so upset as Richard's Will that they sued Richard for so-called debt and for a larger share of the estate. Do not know how the law suit was settled but it was one of several law suits between Montgomery families. When Richard died the property went to thier children. Betty Lou Lynn wrote that when Eaton Centre was being built in 1970's the land couldn't be purchased as "we still "own" it. This is not considered among the other rumors and publicity as to "false" stories of huge fortunes to land on Manhattan, Ireland, and even in Holland. These rumors about a vast "Montgomery Fortune," led some members to invest in getting a share in vast fortune & titles. Many sincerely believed was due the heirs from a number of source, even to Charles Albert believing he was the heir to Eglinton earldom. Some victims thought Alexander Jr. & Juda Myers came from wealthy families, depending on which story the victims were told. When there was no
fortune coming to them, certain persons of the family believed the instigators had taken everyone's money. However, those who had helped set up the fund told others that they too were victims also of the orginal con men. My grandfather, David and Uncle Bert believed also in the truth of it and so Uncle Bert started an investigation to prove the family's relationship to Alexander & Juda Myers. Back in 1920's it was the start of the families interest in genealogy that was carried on by Richard Arthur Montgomery, born in 1891 who was named after his grandfather in Toronto. In turn the grandfather, born in 1807 had been named after the famous General Richard Montgomery (whom David claimed was a first cousin of his Great grandfather, Alexander Montgomery Sr. Upon Richard's visit to Toronto and meeting his Aunt Jerusha Cadieux, he learned she also had believed the story of their relationship to Gen. Richard Montgomery. Both their fathers were supposedly brothers from northern Ireland. Because of this story also coming down in the Marsh family from Sarah Montgomery, Richard's oldest sister who would have known her grandfather, Alexander Sr. well before he left and returned to New York state, Dr. Marsh favors Robert of Brandrum, Kilmore Parish as being father of Alexander Jr. (born about 1718). When he came to America in 1754, he would have been 36 years old. He and Richard came over about the same time. Richard went back to Rhinbeck to marry Jennet Livingston and Alexander Sr. went to Connecticut and shortly (or previously)to marry Sarah Lockwood (daughter of wealthy Gershom Lockwood III of Greenwich, Ct.)
LET IT BE KNOWN: Upon checking the history of County Fermanagh which was dominated by the Irish Catholic McQuire chieftans, who in the late 16th century were defeated by the English crown. After the defeat of the O'Neills also the Ulster chieftans, Fermanagh were "Planted" along with most Ulster Counties. English and Scottish undertakers were appointed. In 1641 the McQuires again rebelled in support of a Catholic revolt. Many of the original planters were driven out and new "planters' were given lands. At this time it was the Brookes, Montgomerys, Leonards, Wyatts and Balfours. Following the Williamite wars of the 1600, planters began to replace even more of the Irish. The English and Scottish names include:Armstrong,Boyd, Carson,Elliot,Forster, Graham, Hamilton, Irvine (or Irving), Johns(t)on,Livingston,Morris, Noble, Patterson, Smith and Thompson.
These are the most common but there are numerous others. Several times you may note that the Montgomerys have connections with these. Others are the Cunninghams who were Scottish nobles. It seems the Montgomerys who went into southern states married Irvine and Cunningham women. They were usually better fixed financially and entered the King's colony where patents were given to those in the Kings favor. In New York state, Sir William Johnson on the Mohawk River and Sir Roger Livington at Rhinebeck along the Hudson River fortunately had been given huge grants of land which encompased the entire western section of the colony. It was in their Patents that Aleander Montgomery SR was later allowed to purchase land in the "flatts" south of Albany in Spencer Town, N.Y.

Richard married Hannah Smith on 30 Oct 1831 in York, Ontario, Canada. Hannah was born on 28 Apr 1812 in Thornhill, York, Ontario, Canada; died on 14 Oct 1883 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada; was buried in 1883 in Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
