Montgomery County, OH.
I'm not a descendant of him, but I think he was from the same clan in Scotland.
Their Y-DNA has roots from the Middle East, of all places. The Y-Tree seems to indicate a Phoenician (Lebanon) origin, then Sardinian and later British/Scottish. So maybe their ancestors actually arrived with the Romans? Hard to know.
Other Montgomery's show a more typical R-haplogroup (among others) for the British Isles.
