[Guy St. Denis - Byron: Pioneer Days in Westminster Township, p119-120] In 1819 Charles Montague was located by Colonel Talbot on a lot of land in London Township. Several years later, on August 17, 1824 he married Maria, daughter of Samuel Hungerford from the neighbouring township of Westminster. This wedding was apparently celebrated in Westminster, as Byron was then called, and there the Montagues continued their married life. Over the years Montague amassed a considerable estate in the Byron area.... He eventually moved to Strathroy, apparently in the mid to late 1850s. In 1863, after a sojourn in Ray, Macomb County, Michigan, Montague and his wife moved to Caro in Tuscola County, Michigan. Maria Montague died August 4, 1889 and was soon followed by her husband who died on September 15 of the same year.
In 1833, Joseph Kilbourn Jr. sold L50 to Charles Montague and moved to Detroit.
The original patentee of lot 50 in the first concession was Charles Montague. This wedge-shaped property contained 45 acres of lnand and was bounded by the Delaware-Westminster townline. Montague came to acquire this lot during a Crown lands auction held in London on October 21, 1839. Montague was born on December 31, 1799 in Somerset, England, the son of William Montague and Ann Cayford.
The south part of L47 in the Concession B was sold by John Kent to Charles Montague in 1840
