Rev. John Webb Montague and His Family Line

18-year-old Peter Montague came to America from England in 1721. He was born in 1603, in the hamlet of Boveney, Burnham, Buckinghamshire. His parents, Peter and Elizabeth Montague, were of noble descent. 

 

St. Mary's Church, Boveney, England*

The Montagues had family connections to the royal families of Europe. Boveney, the seat of the Montague family, was situated 23 miles north of London, not far from Eton College. 

 

Eton College, England**

 

Peter received a good education. Interestingly, his uncle William studied at Eton, Cambridge, and Kings College as well. Peter was the second son of Peter and Elizabeth Montague. William was their oldest child. Then, there were also Richard and Robert (younger than Peter), and three girls by the names Elizabeth, Margaret, and Ann.

 

Peter Montague, Sr. was an agriculturist and raised different types of livestock.

Peter's oldest brother William most likely inherited their father's goods and the house. Both Peter and his younger brother Robert decided to look for their fortune in the New World. Peter traveled on the ship "Charles" together with 1300 emigrants including the person of Sir Francis Wyatt who became the governor of the colony in Virginia. In November 1621, upon his arrival in the new land, Peter was sold for the passage debt - he had had no money to pay for the voyage, so later, the young man had to work off his debt. Since he was not used to hard labor, painful blisters quickly appeared on Peter's hands. During the time of recovery, he was caught reading his master's books (written in Latin). Soon afterward, Peter was appointed a school teacher. It is likely that he was one of the very earliest school teachers in Virginia.

 

In 1624, Peter Montague was recorded as a resident of the plantation in James City. The place was owned then by Capt. Samuel Matthews. 

On 22 August 1637, Peter was granted 150 acres in New Norfolk (Upper County). It was a reward for inducing 3 persons (at Peter's expense) to emigrate to Virginia (50 acres for each person). On 28 February 1838, Peter received another 50 acres, and on 18 December 1845, 150 acres more. On 3 November 1647, the man bought 100 acres of land in Nansemond County. By that time, Peter Montague had probably been married. The civil records from those times got lost, but it is known that in 1652/53, the man lived in Nansemond. Peter Montague was the County representative in the House of Burgesses in those years. From 1851 to 1857, he represented County Lancaster in that Assembly.

 

During his life in Virginia, Peter grew from being a conscripted laborer and the man of no means to a respected citizen of good social and financial status, a man of influence. At the end of his life, Peter's health deteriorated. He died at the age of 56, on the last day of April or 1 May in 1659. At the time of the man's passing, his wife was Cicely Montague. Possibly, Peter's first wife was Hannah, who passed before 1659.

Peter's children were William, Peter, Ann, Margaret, Elizabeth, and Ellen (Eleanor).

• Anna, born about 1630 - married John Jadwin. Anna had one daughter. The lady died before her father Peter.
• Ellen (Eleanor) - born about 1632, married William Thompson.
• Peter - born about 1634/died January or February 1702,
• Elizabeth - born about 1636,
• William - born about 1838,
• Margaret - born about 1840.
  

From Peter the Emigrant to John Webb Montague

 

Peter

⇒ his son Peter

⇒ his son William, born between 1670/1674, Lancaster or Middlesex County, Virginia + wife Lettice

⇒ their son Abraham, baptized 28 September 1701 in Christ Church, Middlesex, VA/d. June or July ⇒ 1670 + wife Charlotte Latané

⇒ their son Latané Montague, born about 1731, Essex County, Virginia/ died about 1813, NC + wife Catherine Young Taylor

⇒ their son William, born in about 1760, Granville County, NC/died 6 April 1814 + wife Mary Owen

⇒ their son Thomas born on 7 December 1795, Granville Co., NC/d. 1 February 1860, Wayne County + wife Mary Owen Webb

⇒ their son John Webb Montague, born on ( 9 November 1823, Wayne County, Tennessee)

 

John Webb grew up on the family farm. The boy did not get much education, everything that was needed to be done on the farm, he learned at home. At the age of 23, on 27 January 1846, John married Miss Matilda Jane Grimes who was born on 3 June 1825 in Maury County, Tennessee. Matilda was the daughter of Wilson Grimes and Rachel Carr.

♦ 15 November 1846 - the first son was born to John and Matilda. They called him James Webb.

♦ Two years later, on 8 September, the first girl came to the family. Her name was Mary Ann.

 

In 1850, the Census found John, Matilda, and their 2 children in Wayne County, Tennessee. John was a farmer, a 16-year-old Jess Carr (possibly Matilda's relation from her mother's side) lived with the family (1).

In 1853, John Webb Montague became a member of Philadelphia Baptist Church. Soon he found his life call - he worked as a preacher of the missionary Baptist Church.

♦ Thomas Wilson was born on 14 July 1857.

Three years passed, and another Census took place. John Webb Montague, his wife Matilda, and their kids lived in the 4th District of Wayne County. Matilda's father's house was next to the Montagues' place (2).

♦ John Henry Young came to this world on 25 January 1861.

According to the source given below*, during the Civil War, Rev. John W Montague joined the Confederate Army as a replacement for his brother. The latter needed to attend to his sick wife. John Webb was assigned to Company F of the Gantt's 9th Cavalry Battalion of Tennessee (3).

 

In 1862, Private John W Montague was with his unit at Fort Donelson. After its fall, John Webb was taken prisoner on 16 February, and with 2,500 other Confederate soldiers (4), the man was sent to Camp Butler near Springfield, Illinois. The living conditions in the overcrowded camp were quite horrible. A few months later, on ♦ 15 May 1862,  John died from exposure to the weather elements (4). He was 38 years old.

 

 Private John Webb Montague was buried (5, 6) at the Camp area (Plot 515. R. No. 1)

Two years after his father's passing, in August, 18-year-old James Webb joined Company F of the 9th Regiment of Tennessee Cavalry. He was with the CA army at Gainesville, Alabama. After the battle, James Webb Montague was left behind as he was believed to be dying. The man was sick. Despite that, he managed to walk back home/begged during that time to survive.

Matilda Jane Montague, John's wife, married again (twice). At the end of her life, she suffered from a stroke and paralysis. Matilda passed on ♦ 6 August 1886.

Every day comes something new. Some new discovery in the family tree. This one amazes me. I did not know whom we have in the family ancestry until MyHeritage matches service sent me a message.

The MyHeritage software says she is our 7th cousin twice removed. Who? Miss Susan Brownell Anthony. And her brother Mr. Daniel Read Anthony as well. Both of them were abolitionists. Susan was a civil rights activist and a suffragist, the women's rights movement supporter.

Daniel Read was a lieutenant colonel in 7th Regiment of Kansas Volunteer Cavalry (Union Army).

⇒ their daughter Hannah E (Hagood) Ledbetter (b. about 1839, Georgia/d. before 1865) - on 13 Oct. 1853 (13), she married Mr. Charles Ledbetter, son of Moses Ledbetter and Mary (Pollie) Hammons. Hannah was about 14 on the day of her marriage, her spouse was about 20. Charles was born circa 1833 in Forsyth, Monroe, Georgia/d. before 1900 in Texas.

⇒ her daughter Jurita Elizabeth (Ledbetter) McIntosh - our great-grandmother

Another Family Line

There is another family line which goes from Susannah Duvall, the wife of Samuel Tyler to our great-grandmother Jurita Elizabeth Ledbetter McIntosh.

⇒ Susannah's brother Capt. William Duvall (b. 29 May 1723, Prince George's, Maryland/d. 1810, Prince George's, Maryland), the son of  Benjamin Duvall Sr. and Sophia Griffith.  + wife Priscilla Prewitt married 20 Oct. 1745.

Some sources say that William's grandfather Mareen (Marin) Duvall was born in about 1625 in Nantes, Loire-Atlantique, Pays de la Loire, Bretagne, France. Others mention Laval in Normandie, France as the Duvall family estate place. Mareen came to Province of Maryland on 28 August 1650. He obtained land on the South River in Anne Arundel County where he established the family Middle Plantation.

⇒ William's son Mareen Duvall (b. about 1767, Rock Creek, Prince George's Maryland/d. 1840, Campbell, Virginia) + wife Racheal Howard (b. 25 Feb. 1770, Elkridge, Howard, Maryland/d. 22 Oct. 1818, Jefferson, Ohio). The couple married on 8 July 1789 in Frederick, Maryland.

Elizabeth and Basil married in about 1855 in Iredell, North Carolina.

John Bankhead Magruder And Our Kins

John Bankhead Magruder, the US and Confederate Army man, is another historic figure whom I learned about when in the USA. He is one of our rather distant relations/family tree branches.
The Mgruders were of the Scottish origin, and their name was originally McGregor.


How are we related to Mr. Magruder?

Indirectly, via Miss Evalyn (Magruder) Angel. John B. Magruder is Evalyn's 4th cousin once removed.

Here is the connection

John Bankhead Magruder
⇒ his father Thomas Magruder (b. about 1779, Prince George's County, Maryland/d. about 1830, Caroline County, Virginia), son of George Fraser Magruder and Eleanor Bowie of Maryland, a lawyer. On  22 June 1797, Thomas married Miss Elizabeth Bankhead (b. 1778/d. 1849), daughter of Mr. James Bankhead.

⇒ his sister Susannah Bowie (Magruder) Magruder (b. about 1765/d. about 1815) - in about 1788 she married her second cousin Dr. Jeffrey Magruder (b. 20 April 1762, Frederick, Frederick, Maryland/d. 31 Oct. 1803, Springfield, Montgomery, Maryland). Sausannah's and Jeffrey's grandfathers were brothers.

Charles worked as an abstractor, in a titles and deeds office. He made summaries of various documents. He lived with Evelyn and their son in Justice Precinct 1, Edna town, Jackson County, Texas.

An interesting thing is that despite the Census record mentioned above, the entire family of Charles' was recorded on 16 June 1900 as the dwellers of the same household in Edna.

Unfortunately, the marriage of Charles and Evalyn did not survive.  However, Charles Thomas Angel remarried on 18 March 1907 in Sherman, Grayson County, Texas. His second wife was Miss Alice Evelyn Coleman (b. 5 Dec. 1879, Texana, Jackson County, TX/d. 24 Oct. 1967, Houston, TX).

Wintersmith Lake, Ada, Oklahoma

As I have been told by Charles' descendant, Charlie's first wife's father allegedly made our man leave the area and told him never to be back.

Charles T. and Alice left Texas and settled in Ada, Ward 1, Oklahoma (1). Ada worked as a seamstress (2). Despite Mr. Magruder's alleged warning, Charles and family came back to Texas in 1918 as the last of their six children Elma Lorraine was born on 8 Nov. 1918 in Palacios, Matagorda, Texas. The reason of their return was most probably a family member's funeral.

Dr. Andrew Benjamin Angel was Charles' cousin once removed. Mrs. A. B. Angel mentioned in the news was Florence D Charlton who died on 29 August 1918. Besides the sad family circumstances,  Charles might have assumed it was long enough after the divorce-related life turbulences, and he did not expect any more problems connected with that.

Sadly, Charles was imprisoned. How come? I have no idea. A family story remembered by our aunt Lula tells about a male relative who was accused of stealing a horse and put in prison. As a result of that, the man died by hanging. It seems that could be our Charlie who took his life in the same way (3). Did it happen in the Dallas prison? Regrettably, Aunt Lula is long time gone, so she cannot tell us more about the unfortunate man.

A message from Jill Magruder Gatwood:

 

" Just one correction; the Magruders did come from Scotland but were unrelated to the McGregors. We descend from the McGruthers and McGrouthers. We Magruders have battled about this for years and finally proved it with DNA. You dont have to credit me. The first Magruder to America was Alexander Magruder who was a POW from the Cromwell wars in Scotland. He came to Maryland in about 1650 as an indentured servant. Practically every Magruder in America is descended from him."

Thank you for the information, Jill.
