Notes about Isaac Montanye

Isaac Montanie appears in Franklin Township, Bergen County, tax ratables in 1779.  He is probably the same man listed in the baptisms of Isaac (1761)  and Henry (1770) in the Ramapo Lutheran Church.  This may very well be the Revolutionary War soldier.

Isaac identified his father by saying that he had served in the French and Indian Wars.  The French and Indian Wars for that part of the country were between 1758-1763.  Anyone serving in the provincial troops would have been considered a soldier in the French and Indian Wars.

The Revolutionary War pension application of Isaac Montawney states that he was born in Paramus circa 1742 and that he lived there until his enlistment in the army, after which he resided in Orange and Rockland Counties, NY, until about 1815 when he settled in Pequannack, Morris County, New Jersey.

No mention of children or any marriage is given in the pension records, although his widow was named as Mary Montanya in the Last and Final Payment record.  Isaac Montanye died in January 1838 at the age of 97.  He had married Mary Wright, aged 80, just three months before on 5 October 1837.  At that time they were both living in the Pequannock Poorhouse in Morris County, New Jersey.  He was probably buried in a potter's field through the Morris County Poor House.

The locations of Isaac's residence make it seem likely that Isaac was the father of a number of Montanyes who would otherwise be mysteries. The 1800 census shows a cluster of men whose name is spelled MONTONYEY. all together in Rockland County, including Isaac, Isaac Jr., Aurt, and Conrad.  This would fit the 1790 census which shows Isaac in Orange County, NY, (the parent county of Rockland County) with 6 males in the household, 4 males under 16 and 1 male beside himself over 16.  By the census of 1810, Nicholas Montanye was listed in Orange County, NY, in association with Conrad, John, and Henry. Aaron stayed in Rockland County.  In 1819 Henry and Nicholas were listed as ratables of Pompton Township, New Jersey.

The names suggest that Isaac's first wife and mother of his children came from a family where the names Arent, Conradt, Henrich, and Nicholas were common.
