Planter, very extensive land holdings in Charles County, Maryland


"Information from research and historical data gathered by Thomas and
Ellen Burke Montgomery, descendants of Charles W. Montgomery, a
descendant from the first of our line Peter Montgomery. In an index
of immigrants compiled from records of land patents 1633-1680 by Gust
Skorday, list Ann Montgomery transported 1659. It is believed she
may have been a relative of our Peter as it shows later where William
Boarman Sr. made deed of gift of 250 acres of "Ann's Delight" then
occupied by Peter Montgomery. It is believed that William Boarman's
wife may have been Ann Montgomery. The Boarman manor consisted of
3333 acres granted to Boarman. It is also believed that Ann may have
made arrangements for Peter and his 2 sons to be transported from
France prior to 1712.

Peter along with his 2 minor sons John Baptiste and Francis were
naturalized October 20, 1727 (others 10/28/1727).

In Peter's will: he left property to Francis and John his first sons;
and to Peter and Richard and others. There is no mention of Elisha
or Benjamin unless these were the second (middle) names of Peter &
Richard.

Peter made deposition on Dec. 29, 1736 concerning the boundaries at
Boarman Manor & Boarman Reserve. He stated that about twenty years
ago Abraham LeMasters showed him a bounded tree of these boundaries.
Peter owned land in Maryland called "Monmouth" totaling 460 acres,
and maybe other property. In 1726 he purchased from William Newman
336 acres."
