General Notes: Husband - William Montgomery

---

During the time of the Revolutionary War he married, and after the establishment of peace in 1791 brought his family and house­hold goods in a four-horse wagon to a point on Chartiers Creek, Pennsylvania, several miles below Pitts­burgh, where he remained until 1797. In the spring of that year he went to Mercer County, and purchased at Wolf Creek, now Wolf Creek township, Pennsylvania, two tracts of four hundred and twenty-seven acres each. He brought with him his two eldest sons, Robert and William. They established a settlement and built a cabin. The father left them to keep possession of the new settlement and returned home for provisions and other supplies, and among other articles, kettles for making maple sugar. On the way back he broke his arm and was compelled to return to the old settlement and remain there for six weeks. During all this time the two young boys were left alone, seeing only two white men. Although they could hear the Indians hunting in the neighboring forest, they were never molested. They were almost out of provisions when their father returned, but had cleared a field for corn, and after the summer spent in taking care of the crop they went back to the older settlement, and in the fol­lowing spring the entire family moved to the new abode.
