Kindred Montgomery was born August 13, 1838, in Greene County, Tenn., 
and is a son of John and Nancy (Malone) Montgomery, natives of 
Virginia and Tennessee, respectively. The father was born in 1810, and 
in an early day went to Tennessee, and from there went to Washington 
County, Ark., in 1858. In 1861 he came to Crawford County, where he 
died in 1877, and Kindred came with his father to this county. Our 
subject never attended school, all his learning being received while 
at the plow. When eighteen he began life for himself, and in 1868 was 
united in marriage to Mary Hale, who was born in Tennessee in 1844, 
and is a daughter of Benjamin and Nancy (Longmeyer) Hale, of this 
county. Mr. Hale was born in Tennessee in 1809, and died in Oregon, 
and Mrs. Hale was born in the same State, and died in 1865. Kindred 
Montgomery has 400 acres of land in Crawford County, 280 on Lee's 
Creek and the remainder on Cove Creek, all of which he has accumulated 
by his own industry. In 1863 Mr. Montgomery enlisted in Company L, 
Fourteenth Kansas Cavalry, under Col. Haynes and Capt. Charles Harris, 
and served until discharged in 1865. In politics Mr. Montgomery is a 
Republican, and his first presidential vote was cast for Bell in 1860. 
Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery have had seven sons and three daughters.
