- [S199] James Riker, Harlem (City of New York) by James Riker, (1881 Printed for the Author in New York City), Page 48 (Reliability: 3).
He may have been a native of Saintonge in west-central France, as Riker believed, or he may have come from another mountainous area of France.
From "The Society of the Descendants of Johannes de la Montagne"
No records have been found in Saintonge to support Riker's belief, and all of our ancestor's associations in Holland were with Walloons, French Huguenots from northern France. There is a village named Santes near Lille, which has been suggested as a more likely place of his origin than Saintes in Saintonge.

Whether he died abroad in Holland, as Riker claimed, or whether he eventually returned to the now-British colony of New York as a private citizen is not known, although it seems possible that he did return to New York in 1668 as Peter Stuyvesant did.
It is believed that he died in 1670 since his son Jean/Jan dropped the use of Jr. that year. It is not known where Dr. La Montagne is buried nor either of his wives, although his second wife appears to have been living in Claverack, New York, after her husband's death.
