• Notes

  "James Montgomery, the first Indian agent for the Senecas, and known to them by the name, Kuckoo-Wassa, or Now Acorn, was born in Westmoreland County, Penn., November 20, 1776, about the time his father died at Johnstown, N. J., while serving in the American army against the British. In 1793 he, with his mother, moved to Kentucky, and located on one of the Tomahawk claims. Thirteen years later, in 1806, he married Miss Keziah Rouse, and the same year settled within eight miles of Urbana, Ohio, where he was a local Methodist preacher. During the war of 1812 he was appointed commissary, officer by the governor. In 1819 he was appointed agent for the Senecas, and, in November of the same year, moved to old Fort Seneca, in Pleasant Township. He resided in one of the block-houses for some time; then moved another block-house close to the first one, which the family occupied, and both houses formed the agency quarters until 1826, when he built the log-house near the old fort, in which he resided to the time of his death, June 1, 1830. Of his eleven children, Mrs. Sally Ingham, of Tiffin, alone survives. This lady was born in Champaign County, February 4, 1811; was married, March 25, 1832, to Milton Frary, who died in 1852. In 1869 she married Alexander Ingham, of Cleveland, Ohio, who died in April, 1870." "Mrs. Sally (Frary nee Montgomery) Ingham, born in Champaign County, Ohio, February 4, 1811, settled at Fort Seneca with her father, Rev. James Montgomery, in November, 1819. She married Milton Frary, March 25 1832. He died in 1852. The same Mrs. Frary moved to Tiffin and resided in that city until 1869, when she married Alexander Ingham, and moved with him to Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Ingham died in April, 1870, and two years later Mrs. Ingham returned to Tiffin, where she erected her present residence on Minerva Street, about thirteen years ago.
