| I was disappointed in checking the website referred to

|
| There are few references to sources, and I did not see any mention of
the
| research of Myrtle Stevens Hyde. I, myself, have also done detailed
research
| into the ancestry of Peter Montague of Virginia. What I did find on
the site
| was the following statement:
|
| [quote:]
| 3 While that portion of the Pedigree from Drogo down to the first Earl
of
| Salisbury was obtained through the researches of the writer, the other
portion
| from William Montague, whose will was proved A. D. 1550, down to
Richard and
| Peter who went to America, was obtained by Mr. William H. Montague of
Boston -
| one of the founders, and for many years Secretary of the New England
Historical
| and Genealogical Society, to whose early labors, in behalf of this
work, which
| date back as far as 1847, the American family must ever be indebted.
For he
| employed at considerable expense H. G. Somerby, Esq., an eminent
genealogist,
| and an American resident in London, who made verbatim copy of the
Pedigree of
| this family from 1550 from the Records in the Herald's College,
London, and
| also went to Boveney, Buckinghamshire, and compared and copied the
Parish
| Records, thus bringing the pedigree down to the year 1634."
