James Montgomery, according to family tradition, was born about 1690 near Donegal, Ireland, and moved to America about 1733, perhaps at the same time as his sister Catherine and her husband, Patrick Calhoun. He was living in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, probably at Chestnut Level, in 1746 when he sent his sons Robert and John to Virginia to buy land. On June 19, 1746, they acquired 654 acres on Catawba Creek in Augusta (now Botetourt) County, Virginia, from Benjamin Borden for 20 pounds sterling; they then returned to Pennsylvania to bring back two large bells as partial payment for the land and to bring the remainder of the family to Virginia. The 654 acre tract was sold to Robert on May 28, 1751.

James Montgomery served as a justice of the Augusta County court, a militia captain, and an officer of the New Derry Presbyterian congregation; he was one of the most prominent men in the Catawba community. He died in 1756, and on November 19, 1756, his widow, Anne Montgomery, with John Dickerson and James Simpson, posted bond to administer his estate; it was appraised on March 16, 1757.
Shortly afterwards, Anne Montgomery moved away from the area with some of her children. James and Anne Montgomery had, among others, the following children:
