  • Notes 
    • Submitted in April 1989 by Isla Montgomery, CMS 113, Regional VP. Oldest Montgomery Ancestor shown is Alexander Montgomery, bn 1813 in TN, but her line is believed to tie in with Alexander Montgomery, who died in Orange Co. NC in 1768.

      Submitted by Caroline W.Chapman McGowan, CMS 894, and others. Updated Oct. 2000; confirms the link to Alexander Montgomery, d. Orange Co. NC in 1768.

      From the CMSI News Magazine, Winter 2004:
      "Miss Isla Montgomery, CMSI LIFE # 113, passed away on May 15, 2004. She was active in Clan Montgomery in the early years, having become a member in 1981, and was among the first to become a Life Member when that option became available in 1990.

      Isla was born in Osborne, Kansas on February 12, 1923. She worked for the University of Colorado as a registrar until here retirement. According to CMSI Past President Monty Perkins, "Isla was our first Regional Vice President of Colorado. She hosted the Clan Montgomery tent at Scottish Games held in Pike's Peak, Monument, CO, as well as the Colorado games in Denver and at Long's Peak at Estes Park, CO.

      Monty continues, "In August 1988, Isla planned and hosted our Genealogy Meeting, which was held during the Rocky Mountain Games in Golden, CO. She attended many of our Annual Meetings in the early years." Being very interested in genealogy, Isla did a great deal of research on her ancestor, Alexander Montgomery, who was born in Hancock City, TN in 1813. Isla and her neice, Fran Qutermous, joined with Clan Montgomery members on our 1998 Tour of Scotland. Isla was interested in succulent plants and traveled in South America to study them..."
