424 DESCENDANTS OF PETER MONTAGUE.
This William Montague's father, (Samuel) was a brother of Col.
James Montague [44], the distinguished Va. magistrate. This Wil-
liam Montague was the founder of the settlement known as Montague
Post-office in Essex Co., Va. The place received its name from him.
He was a merchant, had a country store there, and in Oct., 1798 he
opened a tavern perhaps the first that was established in the place,
using his house for the purpose, (Co. records). There were so many
" William Montagues " in Essex, Middlesex and Lancaster, that he
was always mentioned, in records and deeds, as " William son
of Samuel " which establishes his identity beyond any and all doubt.
An agreement copied from Co. records between him and his wife
Amelia on the one part, and the three daus. of his bro. Samuel
(deceased) on the other part, fully identifies him. After his death
his wife Amelia m. (2), Thomas Jesse, a cousin of Mrs. Lewis B.
Montague.
