   was about 1733 that this family's Montgomery's began their trip to America from Northern Ireland near Donegal. Landing first in Pennsylvannia, they soon moved to Virginia. They fought in the French & Indian Wars, the Revolution, and eventually settled in the Virginia territory known as Kentucky. Some went with George Rogers Clark, and some fought in the Civil War.
