Answer
In 1818, Montgomery's remains were relocated to New York City from St. Paul's Church in New York City, where he had been originally laid to rest. This relocation was the result of efforts made by the New York State Legislature and the city's Common Council to honor the Revolutionary War hero and provide him with a more prominent burial site.
