Biography:

1. John Montague was working as a Labourer at Faversham. In a letter dated the 29th December 1789 from the Royal Powder Mills at Faversham to the Mills at Waltham Abbey, it was advised that John Montague and Alexandre Gordon, "labourers at this place" were to be transferred to Waltham Abbey the next day, and that they had been paid until the end of the month. Gordon had "frock and slippers" but Montague had been furnished with neither (WASC 475). 2. Montague was described as a Labourer "Grinding saltpetre" and paid 1/6d per day in Supply 5/215 dated the 31st January 1792, and he was still in this position in March 1793 (Supply 5/216). 3. Robert Coleman, Clerk of the Cheque, recorded that on "the 13th to the 14th May 1793, John Montague had gone away from his watch without leave and was ordered off his watch." (Winters, op.cit.p.39)
