Catherine Montague
by Susan Brooke
Dec 2020

We know from the autobiography written in 1811 by her grandson, George Twyman III, that her name was Catherine Montague and that she married George Twyman I. (1)  They had three children and she was pregnant with the fourth when her husband died in 1703  Her oldest son, George Twyman II, was about 5 years old.  She was granted administration on the estate of George Twyman which confirms her name was indeed Catherine. (2)  And, she named her fourth child, Peter after her father. (3) She remarried to Phillip Warwick two and a half years later in 1705.  And Phillip Warwick was summoned t court in 1707 giving security for the orphans of George Twyman. (4)
Catherine and her second husband, Phillip Warwick, had four more children together. Then Phillip died in 1719. She had outlived both of her husbands and all of her 8 children except her daughter Mary Twyman, who died in 1844.  The last record we have for Catherine is in March 1740 when her son-in-law, James Bristow, husband to Mary, said in court that "he, John Owen (deceased) and Catherine Warwick" were administrators for the estate of Phillip Warwick. (5) Since he indicated John Owen was deceased, we can assume Catherine was still alive in 1840.
