Biography

Unsure of death date/location: Descendant D.M. Montgomery communicated the 1903 Pembroke record as moderate probability; however, the 1 Jan 1908 Frontenac record is not disproved since his adopted step/illegitimate? daughter Annie Hall was living in Frontenac and married there in 1915.

DNA

• Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing on Family Tree DNA. Montgomery-15456, FTDNA kit # 150394, and his 3rd cousin 1x removed, Neil Montgomery, FTDNA kit # IN57465, match at a Genetic Distance of 1 on 67 markers, thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA who is William Montgomery, the 3x great grandfather of Montgomery-15456 and 2x great grandfather of Neil Montgomery. FTDNA indicates that the probability the two share a common ancestor within the last 4 generations is 89.79%.
• Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA test results on Family Tree DNA. John Montgomery, FTDNA kit # IN114961, and half his 3rd cousin, Neil Montgomery, FTDNA kit # IN57465, match at a Genetic Distance of 3 on 111 markers, thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their most-recent common ancestor who is William Montgomery, the 2x great grandfather of both John Montgomery and Neil Montgomery.
