I have a feeling, that's all it is right now, that we have more
descents from the Smith family of Withcotes. I need however to see it
state clearly that Anne Montgomery is the daughter of Anne Smith (or
even "Miss" Smith)
Thanks

The pedigree of Montgomery of Sherington in the 1634 Visitation of
Bucks (HSP v. 58) is very short (3 generations or so) and does not
mention an Anne Montgomery or any Smiths.
You might find something on this family in Lipscomb's "History and
Antiquities of Buckinghamshire".
Thanks.
and Poooooooooooooop
Here
http://www.southfarm.plus.com/visitation/Smith_of_Bosworth.pdf
is what the Vis Leics 1619 says
that Anne Smith m Sherrington Montgomerie of Sherrington which is in
Bucks
and then Lincolnshire Pedigrees here
http://books.google.com/books?id=aPcMAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA438
Lincolnshire Pedigrees, by A.R. Maddison, Vol II "Hales of Lincoln",
page 438
says that Anne Montgomery, dau of Sherrington
married Richard Halford of Edith Weston
The time periods involved *could* make these two fit together and
it would be easy to see how a daughter could be named "Anne" after her
mother
BUT these too much missing here to be absolutely sure.

Amice Cave is a Cecil 3 so the below document is very interesting.
Evidently these are, at least part of, the family reps 30 years
later.

Look at this, this is very exciting.
I'm sure we all agree that the Anne widow above *must* be
Anne (Hasellrigg) Hunt below in Vis Rutland 1618-9 Hunt

FWIW, the pedigree I cited ends with the following individual:
"Sherington Montgomery a da. and h." [sic]. It was not immediately
clear to me whether "da. and h." referred to Sherrington (the British
do have a quirk of using surnames as given names even for their
daughters!) or to his daughter. But perhaps the "da. and h." refers
to the Anne who mar. Richard Halford.
Sherington [sic] is shown as the child of William Montgomery of
Sherington and his wife Margaret, dau. of Robert Belcher of Lamport,
Lancashire. William is shown as the son of Michael Montgomery of
Sherrington [sic].

Thanks yes. My issue isn't with who the father was, but rather who the
MOTHER was.
