I am so grateful to my cousin, Kathleen Montgomery Hendricks for sharing this photo that includes my grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great grandmother. 

Taken in 1885 in Jeffersonville, Indiana, standing in the back are Mary, Maggie (my grandmother, Margaret Jane Richardson Montgomery, 1869-1956) and Rachel Isabel Hall Richardson (my great-grandmother, 1838-1905). The boys are my great uncles, Will and Newman (standing) and Louis (kneeling).  Seated in the middle is Margaret Ann Henning Hall, (my great-great-grandmother 1810-1892) with my great-aunts Lola and Anna. 

Margaret Ann Henning Hall was born in County Down Ireland and left for America 'the Monday after her wedding.'  She and her husband, John Hall (1807-1844) came down the Ohio River on a flat boat and settled in Scottsburg.  John was killed in a log-rolling during the construction of a new Presbyterian church in Scottsburg, Scott CO, IN.

My heartfelt thanks to Abbie Montgomery Current, daughter of Ralph Clifford Montgomery,
and my brother Roy Montgomery for sending the pictures on this page.
