David J. Montgomery Mon Sep 29 06:08:12 1997
MONTGOMERY – Peter H. Montgomery reportedly born July 7, 1834 in Lawrence County, Tennessee. Peter married Catharine McBee in Polk County, Missouri. Peter & Catherine later moved to Newton County, Missouri. I recently found a William Montgomery who lived less than a mile from the McBee family in Polk County, MO. This appears to be the William Montgomery who married a Susannah Cook, Sep 26, 1839 in Lawrence County, Tenn by Jacob Lacforx, J.P. William may have been Peter’s brother. I am looking for the Parents of Peter. I am looking into the possibility that Peter’s father might have been Thomas Montgomery who reportedly died in 1840 with a will in Will Book 1, 229, Lawrence County Tn.
