Joseph Edwards MONTONYE, a lad about 14 years of age left his mother in February last in company with a person named Brittain WHITE, & it is supposed went to the western part of the state of New-York. His mother, anxious to have her son restored to her, hereby most affectionately request him to return. Printers of News Papers in the western part of the State of New-York will confer a particular favour on a mother by giving this notice an insertion in their papers. by,Elizabeth VANFLEET, Wilkes-Barre.

J.E. Montanye in the Beaver County PA tax records from 1844 to 1854 (missing in 1846 and 1850). http://publish.ancestry.com/Group/100903/Profile via http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pabecgs/search-material.htm.

Nancy Montanye shows up in the 1850 census in Borough, Beaver, PA (age 46) living with a group which has a James Armstrong listed as an innkeeper. With her there is her son J.W.L. Montanye, age 11. I The will of Nancy Montanye, written in 1854 while she was living in Bridgewater, Beaver, PA., leaves money to Hugh Hamilton and John Hamilton (identified only as sons of the late William Hamilton), her niece Martha Hayden, and Elizabeth Crabtree (relationship not specified). She leaves the bulk of her estate to her sister, Martha Porter.

Via papertrails.com, "Transactions of the Seventeenth annual Reunion of the Oregon Pioneer Association for 1889" on Google books. There is an entry for a James Huddleston of Eugene, Oregon. Page 103 says " In 1853 [sic], Huddleston was induced by Capt. A.P. Ankeny to come to California....The journey was begun March 22, 1850, with three others, Wm. Dempsy, Joseph Hill, and Calvin Mentania [our ICC Montanye],  the latter a brother-in-law of Ankeny..... At St Louis the cattle, four yoke, and a pony for the use of Mrs. Ankeny and her sister Wyoming Mentania, were bought...." A.P. Ankeny was Alexander Postlewaite Ankeny and Mrs. Ankeny was Ruthanna Butler Montayne Ankeny. "Calvin" shows up with them in Portland in the 1850 census as "I.C. S?cmontaigne".

The Ankeny surname also shows up in the 1850 census record for PA-Beaver county-Borough Township--a Margaret E. Ankeny (age 58) was living in the same household as Nancy Montanye. Margaret is Margaret Elizabeth Ankeny, the mother of A.P. Ankeny.

Montanye, Joseph W.L...............1854................................................ ......Register's Docket 1, page 242

Montanye, Joseph E....................1854............................................. ........Register's Docket 1, page 240

Montanye, Nancy.......................1854.........Will Book C, page 369...........Register's Docket 1, page 242

---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------
According to the Beaver County (PA) Genealogy and History Center staff, the Register's Docket page which contains the entry for Joseph was ripped out, unfortunately, and no will was found.   I think we can safely conclude that J.W.L  was Joseph and Nancy's son.  He shows up in the 1850 census (age 11) living with Nancy.  So Joseph, Nancy, and Louis (J.W.L) all died in 1854: first Joseph, then Nancy, then Louis.

I found an account of the train collision that killed Louis here: http://www.ohiogenealogyexpress.com/portage/portageco_news.htm
Source: Portage County Advocate - Ohio
Dated: Oct. 18, 1854
SALEM RAILROAD ACCIDENT -  A serious accident occurred at Salem, on the O & P Railroad on Wednesday evening last.  The Express from Pittburgh ran into a Freight train at a high rate of speed, smashing up the locomotive and cars - the platform of the passenger cars the were almost entirely broken off, and some of the cars broken into pieces.  The Conductor, GEO. KINGHT was so badly injured that he died in three hours after the accident - a train boy fourteen years old died of his injuries on Thursday.  Two brakemen, named MARTIN and KIMEALL had their legs broken and received other injuries that render recovery impossible.  The accident was caused by the carlessness of the Conductor of the Freight train, who allowed his train to remain on the main track on the time of the Express train several minutes, and as the accident occurred about dusk, the Engineer on the Express train did not descover its situation until too late to prevent the terrible accident.  The entire blame of the collision is charge to the Freight Conductor.
