Thomas Montgomery was a Revolutionary War veteran and Nelson County pioneer who migrated from Washington County, Pennsylvania to Cox's Creek about 1787. He is thought to be the brother of William Montgomery who migrated from Washington County, Pennsylvania to Clark County, Indiana about 1807. This is supported by Y-DNA testing of their descendents.
Thomas and William Montgomery married sisters Nancy and Mary Johnston respectively. They were the daughters of William Johnston, another Nelson County KY pioneer who died there in 1813. Nancy Johnston Montgomery's death date is unknown, but she probably died before 1820. Thomas Montgomery died 30 August 1834. They are probably buried in the Montgomery Cemetery where a large number of their descendants are buried.
This Thomas Montgomery is often confused with a different Thomas Montgomery who lived nearby in Washington County, Kentucky and was married to Frances Pollard. The two men lived about eight miles apart. They were born about the same time, and died within months of each other. They also had several children with the same names. These similarities appear to have caused the Federal Government to mistakenly grant Frances Pollard a Revolutionary War widow's pension and bounty land leading to even more confusion.
