    Notes 
    • He may have been the 'son Robert Montgomery now in America' mentioned in the 1769 will of William Montgomery, Kila Capel Parish, County Armagh, Ireland.
      Penna Mag. of History and Biography, Vol XXX, p 454; See Don Maring writing on this topic; probably not KilleyCapel.

      A child, John, was born circa 1734. He was the 5th son. That suggests a marriage before 1726.

      Egle's Notes and Queries, p 296, lists five children; Mary (m Duncan), John, Hugh, David, and Elizabeth (m Gallagher)
