John William Montgomery - John William Montgomery, Captain

I think I am a descendant of this man. I am very confused as to where he was born & was originally from. Since my info has come from different internet sites & they do not all agree, I am confused. Several say he was born in Brigend, Maybole Parish, Aryshire, Scotland. One site/discussion said there is no such place, so I looked at some maps for Scotland. Sure enough Brigend is on the Isle of Islay and Maybole is on the coast between Girvan and Ayr which are on the coast of the Firth of Clyde. There is a finger of land between Maybole & the Island of Islay which is in the county of Argyllshire, Scotland. The children i have listed in my system agree with what Geni has.

I also have him (from 1 site) as being a Major (http://deepsouthernroots.familytreeguide.com/getperson.php?personID...) This site mentions his name as being John & that he came to America between 1720-1740 & settled near Newark, Delaware.

Here is another site: http://www.angelfire.com/ca/dhowe/montgomery.html
Lists all 26+ generations prior to this generation: Generation 27 William of America of Brigend Montgomery -- this site says he was born about 1650 in Brigend, Maybole Parish, Ayrshire, Scotland; and died in Abt 1721  Scotland.

I am connected to Alexander Montgomery Sr (my 6th great grandfather) and am pretty sure of the chain to him, but am searching to find where he came from. I do have that his father (William) was married to Isobel of Lenthentie Burnett, Scotland (b. abt 1665; d 1750 in Maybole, Ayshire, Scotland).

Can anyone help me with this next generation???
Angels be with you,
