      "This branch of the Montgomery family originated in England, whereThomas Montgomery was born with a brother" William Montgomery. "he cameto America in 1769. It has been reported that they were Sailors in the English Navy, later siding with the Americas, and serving as a soldiers through the war of the Revolution.
      Is this why their first land grants in Pennsylvania were named Antigua & Saint Lucie? Both were British ports, islands inthe Caribbean and Naval Bases about 1760.

      and served as a soldier throughthe war of the Revolution. His cousin was General Montgomery, not proven at this time, who fell at the storming of Quebec. The home of ThomasMontgomery was in Virginia but he afterwards migrated to Kentucky.

(1) In William Johnston's will Dated 13 Dec 1813 he mentions son- in- laws William Montgomery and Thomas Montgomery; leaves William $762.00 and mentions son-in-law Francis Cunningham and sons John Johnston and Robert Johnston.
