M & D fr. MD Gazette: The Reverend Mr. James STERLING, rector of St. Paul's Parish, Kent Co., d. 10 Nov. 1763.

Perhaps St. Paul's, Kent County, would be a good place to look for STERLING records, as well as other places on the Eastern Shore. Perhaps Montgomery's son Henry was named for an ancestor.
