  • Notes 
    • Submitter: Jan Rose Weller, CMS 817, from paper documents supplied at 2002 CMSI AGM. Key-entered by JC Montgomery on 8/23/03.
      Jan's sister, Alice Rose Plummer, also a member, CMS#1798.

      From The Gardien, CMSI News Magazine, Summer 2004:
      Alice Rose Plummer, CMS 1798, found information about Robert Montgomery in the courthouse at Liberty, Amite County, Mississippi. Robert was a founding father of the town and the courthouse was built on his property. Robert was the brother of Hamilton Montgomery, and both men were the sons of John Montgomery of Amherst Co., Virginia. Alice found the Last Will and Testament of Robert and also a deposition by his sister-in-law, Dortheus Neale Montgomery, the widow of Hamilton Montgomery.

      Some excerpts from the deposition include:
      "State of Arkansas, County of Phillips
      Personally appeared before me, William Kellor, an acting Justice of the Peace, in and for the County of Phillips and State of Arkansas, Dortheus Montgomery, aged about seventy years, who being duly sworn, deposed and says that she was well acquainted with Robert Montgomery of Amherst County, State of Virginia and late of the county of Amite and state of Mississippi. That said Robert Montgomery was the son of John Montgomery and that the names of all the children of said John Montgomery, brothers and sisters of said Robert Montgomery are as follows (to wit) John, Michael, Hamilton, James, William, Mary, Nancy, Margaret and Abigail. That John and Michael died when young married, John without issue. That affiant was married to Hamilton Montgomery, brother of said Robert Montgomery, in the state of South Carolina in the year 1790 and that she had the following issue by Hamilton Montgomery, her husband (to wit) John, Robert, Alexander, Lucinda and Faris. John died young and without issue, Alexander (&) Robert married and had issue and reside in Jackson County, state of Tennessee. Faris married and had issue and resides in..... and this affiant further deposes that Hamilton Montgomery, her late husband, departed this life in said County of Phillips and the State of Arkansas as such her children are heirs at law and distributees of the said Robert Montgomery. That the said Robert Montgomery resided with Hamilton Montgomery in the state of Georgia and acknowledged Hamilton Montgomery to be his brother, and that James Montgomery, son of John Montgomery and brother of said Robert Montgomery intermarried with Sarah Varner in the state of South Carolina, by whom he had issue the names of all whom not recollected by this affiant and that James Montgomery has departed this life. William Montgomery married and had issue and is dead. Nancy Montgomery intermarried with William Morrell by whom she had the following issue (to wit) Mary, Margaret, Ann, Elizabeth, John, William, and Cynthia... (More information on children and relatives followed.)
      Sworn and subscribed to before me this 30th day of April A.D. 1842.
      William Kellor Dortheus Montgomery
      County of Phillips (mark)
      State of Arkansas

      PROBLEM: Jan Rose Weller submitted a date of death to be between 1870 and 1880. However, the above deposition taken in 1842 indicates that Robert was already dead at that time. This discrepancy needs to be resolved.

      Veteran of War of 1812

      Per deposition of Dortheus Neale Montgomery, widow of Hamilton Montgomery:
      In 1842 Robert was living in Jackson County, Tennessee.
