Of Dunaird townland, Racavan parish, Antrim. Married Jane Black about 1820- Children were William (c. 1821) Charteris (1822) Patrick (1831) Jeremiah (1838) Eliza (1843) Hugh c. 1848).
Jane Black was definitely Charteris' mother- with such big gaps between births am unsure she was the mother of the later children. Parish record indicates Patrick was son of Hugh & Jane Montgomery- then in 1838 Jeremiah's says 'Hu' and Nelly Montgomery. Then in 1843 Eliza's is Hugh and Jane.
I have wills from 1728, 1740 and 1779 detailing Montgomerys in Dunaird, but am unable to track connection between them and my know ancestors in the 19th century.
There is a will (not extant) indexed for Hugh Montgomery in Racavan in 1845- but youngest son Hugh wasnt born until c. 1848. This youngest Hugh was head of household in 1901- and William-almost 30 years older, and Eliza were listed in same hosuehold as his brother and sister.
