Zack Montgomery, of California, and the aunt of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Montgomery, deceased. She was also the aunt of the Rev. Lucien Clements, of St. Lawrence.

Johnson farm. Mrs. Head was born at her father's farm, three miles north of Knottsville, June 15, 1829. She was married to J.D. Head on January 11, 1848, and had lived in Daviess county all her life.
