  • Story: Abigail Montague

    See Myrtle Steven Hyde&#39;s report on the origin of the wife of Richard Montague of Hadley, Mass.<br> <br> &quot;A Study of the Downing Family in England, With Connections in Early New England&quot; by Myrtle S. Hyde, The American Genealogist, 1999 vol 74, No 3, pgs 161-174 &amp; Vol 74, No 4, pgs 299-308.<br> <br> Myrtle has done a very intensive study of the Downing family, not to just identify the ancestry of Richard Montague&#39;s wife Abigail, but to also set to rest the line of descent for the immigrant Downings of Boston Mass. as well.<br> <br> Ms. Hyde&#39;s research shows that ABIGAIL DOWNING/MONTAGUE was the daughter of Rev. JOSEPH DOWNING, a rector of Layer Marney, Essex, England, and his wife JANE ROSE.<br> <br> Joseph Downing is the youngest brother of Emanuel Downing, the immigrant ancestor of the American Downing Family, and the father of Sir George Downing Brt.<br> <br> ABIGAIL DOWNING was baptized on 5 Oct. 1617, at the parish church of St. Lawrence, Ipswich, England.<br> <br> This information collaborates with the letter written by Emanuel Downing to his brother-in-law John Winthrop, in which he names Abigail Montague as his cousin (niece). This letter is cited in the often quoted Montague Family History by George W. Montague &amp; William L. Montague &quot;The History and Genealogy of the Montague Family of America...&quot;<br> 1886, Albany, N.Y.<br> <br> This apparently proves a new set of relatives for the American Montague Family.<br> <br> One other genealogical mystery which Ms Hyde&#39;s research has finally solved, is any connection to the Wingfield family for the Downing ancestry. The line of descent from Abigail Downing/Montague to the Norfolk Downing/Wingfields has been disproved. As Abigail&#39;s Downing ancestors are contempory with the Norfolk Downing and Wingfield families.
