I am trying to find information on my great great grandfather, William L. Montgomery, and his wife Mary Creath. He lived in Shelby County in 1850 and owned four slaves. I am trying to find dates and places of birth for each, and any other available information about their lives and that which would enable me to trace back my Montgomery ancestors as far as possible.I have been referred to the Shelby County Public Library History Department for further research, but was wondering if anyone on this board could assist me, as time and funds prevent me from traveling to Memphis at the present time. Any suggestions to expedite research once I am able to travel would be very much appreciated as well.
