"WILLIAM MONTGOMERY was born in Ireland in 1731, and at the age of three years, was brought by his parents to America . After some years spent in sea life, he removed to a farm in Huntingdon county, Pennsylvania . In 1769, he married Victoria Macpherson, whose brother James was father of General William Macpherson, and Major James Macpherson, the latter of whom was aid to General Montgomery in his Quebec expedition, and fell with him on the night of December 31, 1775.
William removed with his younger son to the State of New York, and there died in 1810, leaving three children ."[1]
