This may or may not be you, but here goes:(this is from The Tenmile Country & Its Pioneer Families)...MICHAEL MONTGOMERY--One branch of the Montgomery family that settled on Ruffs Creek is descended from Michael Montgomery, a native of Hartford Co., MD, where he was living when he enlisted in Capt. Samuel Evans' Company, Second Battalion, Chester Co., PA Militia in the Revolution. After coming to the Tenmile Country, he bought a tract of land on Ruffs Creek from Elihu Woodruff and wife, Mary, of Butler Co., OH. This land had been patented to Nathaniel Bell in 1786 and had been the site of Fort Bell as early as 1774, as shown by William Harrod, Jr. in his interview with Draper. This fort, the site of which was known to late members of the family, has sometimes been called Fort Heaton, but this is an error. Michael Montgomery was born in 1755, and died 5 Feb 1835. About 1789 he married Nancy Evans, who was born in 1769, and died 30 July 1836. Both are buried in the old cemetery at Lippencott Baptish Church. Before death, Michael Montgomery conveyed his land to his son Hugh Montgomery. He left a will which is in Greene Co Will Book 2, pp 64, in which he names his wife, Nancy, and these children: (1) Robert, who died before his father--his children are named in the will--John, Myers, and Charity, (2) Charity, (3) Eleanor, (4) Lurenzer, (5) Hugh, born 1804, (6) JOHN (7) Sarah, (8) Nancy, (9) Samuel, born 1812, (10) Levi, born 1814.
RE the Whitlachs...there was a Sarah Whitlatch, daughter of Rev Barnet and Sarah (Morris) Whitatch, who married a John Harrod Bell. This John was born in 1815. Perhaps this Barnet was a brother of the Sarah you seek.
