Capt. John Montour (1744-1788) was the son of. Andrew Sattelihu Montour, of mixed French and Native American ancestry, who distinguished himself as an interpreter and diplomat beginning about 1743, through the French & Indian War, during which he served with Washington. The younger Montour had command of a company of Delaware Indians who fought on the American side. Washington was careful to note that he "has heretofore been employed in the Indian Service on the Frontiers of Pennsylvania."
