Individual Details
Samuel W. Montgomery
(Abt 1779 - Abt 1860)
Samuel Montgomery's parents were Samuel Montgomery and Ms. Woods, according to James Denlinger. However, Roscoe Montgomery, who has done extensive research on the Montgomery family has found no evidence to verify this linkage. Furthermore, Roscoe Montgomery found no evidence to support the belief by Ikenberry and Eikenberry that Samuel Montgomery married a second time, to Elizabeth Ikenberry.
The basis for the belief that Samuel Montgomery did marry a second time is Samuel's memorial stone that gave Elizabeth Frances Bowman's death year as 1823. The memorial also gave Elizabeth Ikenberry as Samuel's second wife.
Next, Roscoe Montgomery has found no evidence to support Elizabeth Bowman's death as 1823. Finally, Roscoe Montgomery believes that the Elizabeth Montgomery listed on the 1880 Census for Franklin County, Virginia is Elizabeth Bowman, not Elizabeth Ikenberry.
According to Ikenberry and Eikenberry, Samuel Montgomery came to Franklin County, Virginia, from North Carolina. He was a tailor. Samuel Montgomery and Elizabeth Ikbenberry belonged to the Brethren church.
