Daniel Archibald Montgomery

At a Glance

A doctor, Daniel Montgomery was not only the brother of a student at the Burwell School who would have attended at the same time as Josephine; but he was also a patron of the school. He was one of ten children and it is likely that Capt. Berry would have known his family well even before Josephine began studying at the Burwell School.
