      COMMENT:
      Erick Montgomery concludes Alexander could not be the father because all of his children were assigned guardians being under 21 at the time of Alexander's death. He feels the name is mostly likely James of Antrim, Ireland.

      REF: "Our Branch of the Montgomery Family" by Wm. G. Montgomery, 1916.
