  • Notes 
    • REF: JOHN and ESTHER HOUSTON MONTGOMERY 1719 - 1973, compiled and published by Anderson, et al.1974 Brazos Printing Co., Maryville, Tennesse.

      REF: Robert H. Montgomery, "Montgomery-Houston Family of New Providence, Rockbridge Co., VA", New England Historical and Genealogical Reagister, Vol CXII, January 1958.

      REF: JOHN AND ESTHER HOUSTON MONTGOMERY THEIR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN compiled by Erick Montgomery, CMS#219, April, 1993.

      COMMENT:
      John who married Esther is most likely the son of James of Antrim, Ulster according to Erick D. Montgomery. Erick points out that the children of Alexander had guardians appointed upon his death indicating they were less than 21 years of age at the time of John's marriage in 1738.

      COMMENT
      Dr. John Fleshman Montgomery on pg 19 of "John & Esther Houston Montgomery 1719- 1793' by quoting pg 661-62 of 'History of Chester County' by Futhey & Cope, 1881' where an Indenture dated 13 Oct, 1761 by John and Esther, Moses and Elizabeth, William, and Margaret Montgomery, heirs of Alexander, release their interest in 650 acres to Daniel. This statement is based largely on research of Erick D. Montgomery who later refutes this conclusion.

      MARRIAGE: "Records of Rev. John Casper Stoever, Harrisburg, PA, 1896" Married by Rev. John Casper Stoever in Earl Township, Pequea Valley, Lancaster County, PA, July, 1738. copy in The Presbyterian Historical Center, Philadelphia, PA

      REF:
      Hennings Statutes, Vol 7 states that John Montgomery was paid by the State for services in the French and Indian Wars of 1755 - 1758.

      REF: OUR BRANCH OF THE MONTGOMERY FAMILY by William G. Montgomery concludes after interviews with longlived daughters of John that the family came from County Derry in Northern Ireland, a branch of Lainshaw Montgomerys. Their coat of arms being the same, a mailed arm holding a broken lance rising from the top of a shield quartered panels, upper left and lower right with three fleur de lis and upper right and lower left with three rings. Motto underneath is "HONEUR SANS REPOSE". Wm. G. M. concludes that John and Esther are buried in the grave yard adjoining Old(New) Providence Church near their old planatation.
