Notes par Joseph Montanye

Called "Joseph of Stroudsburg"  by James Riker.

Joseph Montanye, son of Joseph Montanye and his wife Maria Covert of Roxbury Township, Morris County, New Jersey, was born about 1740.  No record of his baptism has been found but he was named in his father's will.
Joseph was the miller at Walpeck, Sussex County, New Jersey, as early as 1767.  He married Sarah Schoonhoven about 1768, probably in Walpeck.  Sarah, daughter of Nicholas Schoonhoven and his second wife Peternella Westfall, was born in Walpeck, also known as Flatbrookville

, Sussex County, New Jersey, no later than 1750.
Joseph and Sarah lived on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River until after the Revolutionary War, in which Joseph took part and was reimbursed for driving supply carts. Joseph "Montague" was a member of the Committee of Safety, meeting at Newtown, Sussex County, New Jersey, representing Walpeck on 10-11 August 1775.  By 1783 Joseph Montanye had moved his family into the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania.  He was one of the Pennamites who was driven out of the Wyoming Valley by the Connecticut settlers in December 1784 and took refuge in Lower Smithfield, Northampton County, Pennsylvania.  Joseph Montanye was on the tax lists for Lower Smithfield in 1786 and 1788.  He received a federal warranty for 20 acres in 1790 and 400 acres in 1793 in Northampton County.
It seems likely that Joseph and family moved to Owego, New York, about 1796.  On 5 May 1796 Joseph Montonye of Lower Smithfield and Sarah his wife sold to John Stroud fifty-five acres of land in Lower Smithfield which they had bought from Peter Schoonover in 1787.  The indications are strong that they moved shortly thereafter to Tioga County, New York.  The tombstone of Joseph and Sarah's daughter, Mary Montanye Green, in Tioga County, New York, states that she "settled in this valley, 1796."
By 1800 both Joseph Montanye and Joseph Montanye, Jr., ; were listed in the federal census for Tioga County, New York.  Both Joseph and Joseph, Jr., seem to have died in Owego, New York, before 1820.  Since descendants in Owego insist that their ancestors were Joseph Montanye and his wife Mary Brodhead from Lower Smithfield, Pennsylvania, the faint possibility exists that Sarah Schoonover died before 1800 and that Joseph remarried.  Even if Joseph did marry Mary Brodhead after 1800--and the Brodhead Family Association has no record of any such Mary--the mother of his children was Sarah Schoonover.  There was an Amey Montanye with a household of children in 1820, who was probably the widow of Joseph, Jr.   Maybe she was Mary Brodhead, called Amey????
Of the children listed for Joseph and Sarah (Schoonover) Montanye, baptismal records have been found in Smithfield for Abraham and Mary. Elijah baptized two children in Smithfield and Joseph Jr. was listed in records in Smithfield.  Both Elijah and Joseph, Jr., as well as Abraham and Mary, also appear in Tioga County, New York, in 1800. Those four seem pretty solid.  However, Stephen and Isaac are problematic and are assigned to Joseph and Sarah Schoonover Montanye only because dates and geographic locations make them seem possible parents and more likely than others.
