“PENNSYLVANIA BIRTHS
Montgomery County
1682-1800”
Settlement in Montgomery County commenced shortly after William Penn established the Colony of Pennsylvania in 1682. During those early years, from 1682 until 1784, Montgomery County was part of Philadelphia County. Deeds, wills, and other court related documents for that time period will be found in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Montgomery County was not homogeneous, that is, it was not settled by one ethnic or religious group.
