History Of "William" Which Is My First Name

"I am proud my first name "William" comes down to me from 6 generations ago from my great-great-grandfather, Col. William Alexander Montgomery, Sr. shown in the pictures above. Col.Montgomery is famous in Mississippi History for being a Confederate scout during the Civil War and also fighting in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. Maybe one day I will be a famous "Sharp Shooter" like him. My grandfather, William ("Bill") Austin gets this name "William" from both his grandfather and great-grandfather who both were called "Will" for short."
