I have seen somewhere that William Montgomery and Anna Creighton had a son John Montgomery born about 1809 in Ireland. I don't know where I read this, nor do I have any correspondence with this in it. It is interesting though to note that there is another Montgomery connected to William Montgomery. This is John Montgomery who lived in St Stephen but owned land in Saint Patrick. In fact, later William Montgomery owned the same land. He seems to have died about 1848. He was married to Maria Pratt in 1845. She married Washington Weatherbee in 1850.
