Officers of the Montgomery:

There were a few ships during the war named Montgomery. The one concerned here was operated mostly out of New York harbor until that region fell to the British. This sloop is not to be confused with the same named sloop out of Providence, Rhode Island (Captain Daniel Bucklin).
