* ACCOUNT WRITTEN BY LEVI MONTGOMERY, SON OF WILLIAM & EMMA, 13 DEC 1999 "Levi was in the War Between the States and after his discharge, bought a ranch in Blue Mound, Illinois. William and Franklin were born there. When William was about 4 years old, Levi and Emma separated and the boys went with Levi. Levi married again to Nancy Jane Garrett, whose husband had been killed in the Civil War. when William reached the age of 12, he left home because he could not get along with his step-mother. He just walked away and walked until he got rides, etc., all the way to Missouri. There he lived with his uncle (Joseph or Thomas). He lived in Missouri for 4 years until age 16. William joined a wagon train heading to the Oregon Territory. He got as far as Montana and got off to work on a farm to earn enough money to go onto the Oregon Territory.
