From Wikipedia.
I wasn't able to find out too much about this ship.
This ship was also named after Richard Montgomery who was an American general in the American Revolution who gave his life for the cause. (So was the USS Montgomery from that war.)
It was either a sloop or schooner and carried nine 9-pounder long guns and two 18-pounder carronades.
Built in 1813 by Thomas Macdonough and purchased on 6 August 1813 for duty on Lake Champlain in New York.
Its role was to prevent plundering expeditions by the enemy and it also helped convoy Wade Hampton's troops for their attack on Canada.
She continued her service on the lake until deactivated and sold in 1815.
I am unable to find out any more information on this ship.
