• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: Question answered by descendant, Cindy Montgomery Grossholz , in e-mail dated 8/15/2001: >You show the parents of Harvey Blackbur n Montgomery to be "Hiram Spears and Charlotte >Massa." I have assumed that the father was actually Hiram Spears Mont gomery; if that is not true, then >please let me know and clarify the name difference. My great-great grandfather, Harvey Blackburn Montgomery was the son o f Hiram Spears and Charlotte Massa. Charlotte Massa married Leftwich Montgomery on 26 Oct 1846 in White Co unty TN. (Source Bettie Goolsby Doyle, a Massa Family researcher) According the 1850 Census, Leftwic h Montgomery and Charlotte Massa are living in MO with one child. In 1860 Charlotte Massa Montgomery is liv ing in White County, TN near some relatives. No one knows what happened to Leftwich Montgomery. Accordin g to Bettie Doyle, Charlotte Massa Montgomery had three children fathered by Hiram Spears, one of t hem being my great-great grandfather, Harvey Blackburn Montgomery. The three children fathere d by Hiram Spears carried the Montgomery surname, but were not a Montgomery. Hiram Spears must have been a character. Because according some othe r information I have read, Hiram fathered children by three different women. However, he only had one w ife. I have corresponded with other people that are wanting to learn more about Charlotte Massa and Hira m Spears. But trying to learn more about this couple is proving difficult.
