Subtitled "Descended from Richard Montague of Hadley, Massachusetts, and Peter Montague of Lancaster County, Virginia, with Genealogical Notes of Other Families by Name of Montague."

The text spans over 750 pages and details generations of descendants, historical background, and biographical sketches. The primary branches covered in this 1886 edition include Richard Montague (c. 1614–1681) settled in Massachusetts, son of Peter and Eleanor. His brother was Peter Montague (c. 1603–1659) settled in Lancaster County, Virginia, establishing a sprawling Southern lineage with branches reaching into Kentucky, Missouri, and Illinois.  History has recorded the name of at least one of the family, Drogo De Montagu, born about the year 1040, who became the trusted friend, companion, follower of Robert Earl of Moriton, brother to William, Duke of Normandy. Drogo and the earl were of the same age and heartily joined in the plans of William's proposed expedition against England. This expedition occurred in the summer of 1066.
