72 DESCENDANTS OF PETER MONTAGUE. The records of Louisa Co. have the following, under date of Feb'y 25, 1752, Indenture between Thomas Montague of Orange Co., house carpenter and joiner, and Davenport Kennydy, in which said Ken- nydy bound himself as an apprentice unto Thomas Montague for four years. This record proves that Mr. Montague resided in Orange . Co. in 1752, as he is so described in the indenture. He m. about 1753 or 4, Miss Jane Daniel, dau. of Charles Daniel, Sr., # of Louisa Co. She was b. Aug. 18, 1733, bapt. Sept. 9, 1733. Records of Louisa Co. have a deed dated Nov., 1796, from Charles Daniel, Sr., to his daughter Jane Montague. Her father, Mr. Daniel, Sr., was noted for his honesty and piety. It is said that the late Judge William Daniel and Major John W. Daniel of Lynchburgh, Va., were of the same family. Mr. Montague secured the contract for building the old Turkey Cock church in Cumberland Co.f and while engaged * See record of Daniel at Elizabeth Montague [51]. t Through the kindness of Hon. William M. Flanagan of Powhatan, extracts have been received from the county records of Cumberland, as follows : Deed of Charles Daniel of Louisa, of the first part, Jane Montague late of Louisa now of Cumberland, of the second part, and Thomas Montague of the third part, dated Dec. 27, 179S, conveys slave Sauny. Charles calls himself father of Jane Montague, and deed provides that Thomas is to care for mother [Jane] and for grandfather [Charles].—Deed Book 8, p. 259. Deed Oct. 4, 1777, from Clement Montague of Spotts Co. to Edward Walton conveys 212 acres for ^106. Witness, John Montague.— [Book 5, 510.] While this witness may have been John of Caroline, brother of Thomas and Clement, it more probably was John, son of Thomas and nephew of Clement. Deed Sept. 12, 1772, (recorded Sept. 28) from Anne Hill, Henry Tapscott and Winifred his wife and Isaac Hill to Thomas Montague conveys 200 acres on both sides of Carter's Ferry road and on both sides of the church road—witnessed by James Daniel. The church here alluded to was Turkey Cock church built by Thomas Montague. The Cross roads was also the site of Montague's tavern or "Ornary," the Montague homestead. Here Thomas was buried, and remains of the graveyard and old settlement still exist at this date (1893). James Daniel who witnessed the deed was probably the brother of Mrs. Jane Montague who had married Elizabeth Montague, dau. of Peter and niece of Thomas and Jane Montague. The records indicate that Thomas Montague was living in May, 1778, and that one James Daniel lived near him. If this James Daniel was husband of Elizabeth Montague dau. of Peter, he did not long live there, as the records of his children are in Louisa Co. He may have been the James Daniel, brother of Charles, Sr., and uncle of Jane Montague, though records indicate that he lived in Orange. Thomas Montague died at some date between May and July, 1778- Mrs. Jane Montague [his widow] was appointed administrator of his estate, July 27, 1778. The appraisement of his estate was made Aug. 22, 1778.— [Will Book 2, 246.] Whole amount ^1264, is, 6d. Loom, one still, 2 juggs, two cotton wheels, one fiddle, three deer skins, one currying knife, one Reap Hook, negro men Jack and Peter, women Jane and Cate. Also in Will Book 2, 261, Jane Montague's account as administrator paid Thomas Montague .£22, pd John Montague ^239, 12s, 8 d. Also Will Book 2, 419, Estate of Thomas Montague with John Montague administraton, de-bonis-non. July 23, 1787, Suit of Smith and wife against John Montague heir of Thomas of Cumberland, May, 1783, shows that John was his oldest son, heir at law and took his estate under primogeniture Lawrence Smith and Catherine his Wife, plffs, recovered 100 acres land a part of the " Ornary." They state that they came up from County at request of Thomas, father of Catherine to live near him, under promise to give her 100 acres and that he died suddenly of small pox, intestate. The county left blank is Essex, according to a deposition filed.

H., and the road running east from Turkey Cock church, and some time after 1752 he moved there from Orange and built right in the angle of the two roads, an old-fashioned tavern, which was for many years known as Montague's old " Ornary " [Ordinary]. He was living at that place when the war of the revolution occurred ; it is said that he joined the army and served until 1777 or 8, when he died in camp of small pox. He was buried at the old "Ornary," on the old stage road from Cumberland C. H. and about five miles from Cartersville. His wife d. in 1 8 1 1 or 12. 52. John, b. CHILDREN. 53. Catherine, b. , m.

At which date Mr. Montague was residing in Caroline Co. The records of Caroline Co. were destroyed during * This work is indebted to Hon. Wm. M.
