General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Montgomery


The Montgomery family of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, is derived from the noble house of Eglinton, through Sir John Montgomerie, lineal descendant of Roger de Montgomerie, kinsman of William, Duke of Normandy, and commander of the first body of the Duke's army at the battle of Hastings. The Montgomerys have long been settled in the North of Ireland. They were among the soldiers of fortune who, by sustaining the English there, obtained large grants of land in the Counties of Antrim, Down, Donegal, Fermanagh, Monaghan and Cavan. The ancestor of the Chambersburg family was a retainer of Sir Hugh Montgomery, Lord of Ards, who with Sir James Hamilton obtained two-thirds of the lands of Conn O'Neill, hereditary Prince of Ulster, in 1606. The noble house of Ards is now extinct in the direct line, but the collateral branches are still numerous in many parts of Ulster.
