Biography

Jane (Harper) Montgomery is a part of US Black heritage.

Jane was born about 1854. She probably died before 1885.

There were several white Harper families in the vicinity, including William Harper with 15 slaves in the 1850 slave census. In 1870 she and Gib are living next door to the William Harper (born ~1812) family, including his brother Miles (born ~1815), but it's James Harper (born ~1817, lived near the Montgomery family) who has a 5-year-old female slave in the 1860 slave schedule.^[1]
