a large building, was standing in 189 1. Essex records have a deed,
Sept. 18, 1797 for land from John Montague and wife Mary of Essex,
to William Montague of Lancaster. Descendants say that Capt.
John and his brother William were granted a large tract of land in
Essex and Middlesex. He was called " English John Montague "
either on account of his aristocratic ways or to distinguish him from
other John Montagues living at the same time. A tradition without
foundation says he was an Englishman. The will of Mary Yates
dated Jan. 15, 1794 and recorded M. records, July 22, 1799, devises
large property to her niece Elizabeth Stanard Montague, dau. of
Catherine Yates, first wife of John Montague. The executors of
