Dear Karen-
May God bless your good intentioned efforts, but I can not provide the documentation you seek. Peter Montague was one of a community of preaching-teaching seafaring-warrior types, not much given to putting his business in the streets. My ancestor John D. Montague left many questions about his own business unanswered, e.g. his connections that took him to the home of the Society Of Cincinnatus in Ohio--from which he returned to Cyprss Swamp near Suffolk, Virginia, because his daughter, Virginia Elizabeth, would not tolerate the cold. My grandmother Mary Abia Deans Pate had school teacher sisters Berta and Julia, as I recall. John D. Montague supported at least two families in the Chesapeake area, relationships of which are not clear to me.
John D. Montague was in the naval stores and teaching business in North Carolina. His family took the train to the beach at Wilmington one day, to find their Wayne County home burned by the Union Army when they returned. Charred timbers of the home had Masonic symbols carved into them. It was then that John D. Montague returned to Suffolk, which at the time was the biggest Union Army and Navy supply depot. See the problem? Sorry I can’t be more helpful. I'm afraid my retired banker cousin(now realtor) Robert Montague of Goldsboro knows no more (certainly tells no more) of this business than I do.
