Biography

On 25 Oct 1797, Betsy married Thomas Montgomery, and they settled on the "old James Stewart farm" in Montgomery Township. They had ten children over the next twenty years.[1]

  1. Martha "Patsy" Montgomery (1798- )
  2. Eleanor "Nelly" (Montgomery) Roberts (1800-1846)
  3. Mary "Polly" (Montgomery) Skelton (1802-1869)
  4. Moses Montgomery (1804- )
  5. Malinda Montgomery (1806-1806)
  6. John Montgomery (1808- )
  7. Thomas Montgomery (1811-1870)
  8. Elizabeth (Montgomery) Roberts (1813-1840)
  9. Nancy (Montgomery) Skelton (1815-1884)
  10. Jacob Montgomery (1817-1817)

Research Notes

  1. Tartt (1884. p. 53) and Stormont (1914. p. 47-48) both mention only six children, in the same order, without dates: Polly, Nelly, Moses, Nancy, Jacob and Thomas. Montgomery (1903, p. 249-253) mentions the same six in a different order, adding birth years. French & Armstrong (1928, p. 187) repeat Montgomery's list. Turman (1981, p. 242) notes Montgomery's omission of four additional children born to the couple: Patsy, Malinda, John and Elizabeth, and provides the dates shown here. Trimble (1992, p. 155) follows Turman. The list at MontyHistNotes errs in including two Eleanor/Nellies and two Elizabeth/Betseys; the list at CMSI errs in including two Mary/Pollys and two Thomases.
