At Last!
Thanks to Martha Kelly for the clues. She has a Montgomery cousin, Lillian Campbell Brewer, who told us that Allen and Martha Montgomery are in Ryders Hill Cemetery in Lebanon.
Dates: Allen b. 3-12-1818 and d. 01-15-1895
Martha b. 11-19-1829 and d. 6-18-1889
Lillian owns the old Montgomery family home in Lebanon called Myrtledene.

Allen and Martha's daughter Lily Montgomery (who married Tom Jackson) lived there, as did her daughter Lillian and HER daughter Lillian. Lillian Campbell Brewer still owns the house, though it's now a B&B.
If someone in the area would volunteer to take photos of the two grave stones for me, I would be eternally grateful.

Allen S. Montgomery
Martha Ann Pipes Montgomery

This is a picture of Martha Ann Pipes Montgomery. She is a daughter of Nathaniel Pipes and Margaret Harmon. Her namesake, Martha Kelly sent the photo to me this morning. Martha Ann was married to Allan S. Montgomery on July 3, 1848. She was born about 1822 on a farm just east of the cemetery and about where the Glasscock farm is now located. Allan and Martha had 8 children but 2 of them died in infancy. the others married into the Karrick, Boyd, Cardwell, McElroy and Jackson families.
She was a granddaughter of John Pipes Jr and Michael Harmon.
Can any one help me determine where Martha and Allan are buried or their death dates?
I will continue to look but they are probably in Perryville, Lebanon, Danville or locally.

Montgomery family ties
I find it interesting that there are a few "founding" families in old Mercer County, at least in the southern part that became Boyle County and Marion County, and in the area around the Old Union Cemetery, that intermarried at a time in the late 1790s and early 1800s and created the families that spawned most of us reading this. Certainly James Gray, Michael Harmon and John Pipes were among them but as I study the history of the area I find several other names, like Hourigan, Crowdus, Brumfield, Copeland and Montgomery.
I know there are several others, please dont think I am not mentioning someone on purpose. Maybe we should start a list of original or founding families, that would be fun to do. email me if you have names that should be on the list.
My post in the article below about Allen S. Montgomery caused me to look at the Montgomery Family and this is what I found:
Robert Montgomery came here from Ireland and died in 1789 in Lincoln Co. after living in Augusta Co., Virginia. His son Robert(2) was born in Virginia and died in 1793 in Garrard Co, Kentucky. Robert(2)'s son Isaac Newton Montgomery B. 1781 in Lincoln Co. d. 1840 in Mercer Co. married Nancy Stone in 1803. ( I believe Isaac and Nancy are both buried in Union Cemetery). She was known as Nancy and as Sally. (Sally may have been her middle name.)
Isaac and Nancy had 4 children, here is a list of them and the persons they married:
Sally Montgomery b. 1804 married Morris Pipes ( both in Old Union)
Elias Montgomery b. 1808 married Catherine Harmon
Allen S Montgomery b. 1818 married Martha Pipes
Catherine J. Montgomery b. 1824 married John Bradford Harmon. (Both in Old Union)
These 4 marriages produced 30 children named Pipes, Harmon and Montgomery

Seeking info on Allen S. Montgomery
I have been working on filling in blanks on my Pipes Family Database and wonder if any of our readers know any more about Allen S. Montgomery who married Martha Pipes. She was a daughter of Nathaniel Pipes and Margaret Harmon born about 1822 in Mercer co. I am not sure of Allen's background at this point but he was born about 1817. They married about 1849, had several children and appear in Haysville in the 1850 & 1860 census. Then they disapppear. I cant find them again and can not determine where they are buried either. They had children (from Mrs. Ellsberry's book) William b. 1850, Elias b. 1855, Margaret b. 1856, Levi, Isaac, Nancy b.1859, Elizabeth b. early 1860s and Lillian b. early 1860s?)
I even know who some of them married. Isaac and Levi died very young.
If you know anything about this family after 1860 or who Allen's parents were, please email me and let me know.
Children married:
William - Addie Karrick
Elias - Lillie McElroy
Margaret - Wallace McElroy
Nancy - Dr. John Boyd
Elizabeth - Byron Cardwell (Caldwell?)
Lillian - Thomas Cleland Jackson
[Update] I now know that Allen was a son of Isaac Montgomery and Nancy Stone.
