History and genealogy of Peter Montague, of Nansemond and ...

86 DESCENDANTS OF PETER MONTAGUE.
He appears to have resided in Essex, certainly he owned estate in
that Co. The records of Essex have the appraisement of his estate
recorded March 21, 1785. Peter Montague was the administrator,,
no doubt his brother, but if so Peter died before the estate was
settled, for the account of settlement made by Peter was not con-
firmed and recorded until Oct/ 15, 1792, while the appraisement of
the estate of Peter Montague was recorded July 20, 1789, some two
and one-half years before the settlement of Samuel's estate. Oct. 15,
1792, the court of Essex appointed a guardian for Samuel Montague,
orphan of Samuel Montague deceased. And the same date, the
sheriff was appointed to settle the estates of Samuel Montague
deceased and of Lucy Montague deceased, widow of said Samuel
Montague. May 16, 1797, Samuel Montague—an infant, by his
guardian , appears as plaintiff in a Chancery suit. In the same!
suit appears the name of John Montague, an infant, by his guardian
John Montague, and James Montague, an infant, by his guardian
Wm. Montague. "Oct. 15, 1798, William Montague, son of Samuel,
gave bond as a tavern keeper at his house in Essex Co."
