enabled to take the old, moth-eaten, unindexed records from the
court house at Saluda, and carry them to their home at Church View,
often too, at considerable inconvenience to themselves and to Mr.
Daniel, by whose aid they were obtained. Here, at their leisure, they
brought to light the ancient records which have enabled the compiler
to connect the various branches with Peter Montague No. 1. Besides
this valuable aid rendered, Mrs. Daniel has furnished many records
relating to Middlesex Co. families, whose records were hitherto
obscure and difficult to obtain. The kindest thanks of the entire
Montague family are due to this estimable lady for her labors, often
arduous, in their behalf.

b. July 21, 1S74. The very best thanks and most
hearty admiration of the entire Montague family
both now living and of posterity hereafter, are
due to this noble young lady for valuable service
rendered this work. The ancient records of the
county dating back to 16S0, were brought (as
stated above) from Saluda C. H. by her father,
who expected with the aid of his wife to copy
them for this work. Some of these records are
worm-eaten and obscure from age, and it was
found difficult to read them. Although obtained
at considerable trouble, they bid fair to remain a
"sealed book" until Miss Gay, coming in from
school, (though scarcely sixteen years of age),
took the matter in hand, successfully read and
copied them, and triumphantly sent them to the
compiler.
