General Notes: Husband - Robert Montgomery


He was a native of Ireland, where they had to fight for their religion in the days of persecution. He was a nephew of Richard M. Montgomery, of Revolutionary fame, whose brothers were killed in religious warfare.

He lived in the land of his birth until after his marriage. In the summer or fall of 1813 the young couple came to America, and for over twenty years made their home in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, moving thence to the western part of the state in 1837 and settling on a tract of land situated partly in Venango and partly in Mercer County, with the residence in Irwin Township, Venango County. [HVC 1919, 733]
