Sarah and Charles' son Crewe Montagu vanished into thin air. Apart from being mentioned in John Rogers will, there is nothing to be sourced regarding him, other than his date of birth, (baptised at St Nicholas Newcastle) and a date of death. Unfortunately those dates have not been proved, but have come via different resources.
His name came from his grandmother Jemima Crewe, as did that of his sister, Jemima.

Jemima married Sir Sydney Meadows in 1742, and she died of cancer in 1759, without having children.
Sir Sydney Meadows was also an MP until 1740. He never stood again whilst they were married.

Offices Held Knight marshal Jan. 1758-d.
In 1757 he succeeded his father and in 1758 he was appointed Knight Marshal, one of the judges (along with the Lord Steward of the Household) of the Marshalsea Court. He held this office until his death.
The Knight Marshal is a former office in the British Royal Household established by King Henry III in 1236. The position later became a Deputy to the Earl Marshal from the reign of Henry VIII until the office was abolished in 1846 .
The Knight Marshal and his men were responsible for maintaining order
within the King's Court (Court of Marshalsea or Palace Court) which was
abolished in 1849.
According to The Present State of the British Court, published in 1720,
- "The Knight Marshal is an Officer employ'd in the King's Court or Marshalsea,
and the Marshal's Men under him are properly the King's Bailiffs. They
arrest in the Verge of the Court {i.e. within a 12 mile radius of the
Sovereign's palace} when a Warrant is back'd by the Board of Green-cloth.
The Knight Marshal and his Men have place in all publick Cavalcades, at
Declaring of War, Proclaiming Peace, publick Entries and Processions
made by the Soveraign."
The Knight Marshal was appointed by the Crown for life by letters patent
under the great seal frequently in the form of grants in reversion.
Board wages were fixed at £21 5s 10d in 1662. In 1685 a salary of £26
was provided. This was raised to £500 in 1790 but reduced to £271 in
1816.
The separate office of Knight Marischal exists in the Royal Household of Scotland, but has not been filled since 1863.
BiographyMeadows’s grandfather, Sir Philip Meadows, was Latin secretary to Cromwell, who sent him as ambassador to Portugal and Denmark; his father, M.P. Truro 1698-1700 and Tregony 1705-8, went as envoy to Vienna in 1707. Returned for Penryn and Truro on the Boscawen interest, he voted against the Administration in all recorded divisions, except that on the civil list arrears in 1729, from which he was absent.
Chosen for Tavistock by the Duke of Bedford in 1734, he voted with the Opposition on the Spanish convention in 1739 and on the place bill in 1740. He never stood again.
In 1758 Meadows became knight marshal of the Marshalsea court in Southwark, a post which his father and grandfather had held, he and the lord steward of the Household acting as judges in this court. He died 15 Nov. 1792 ‘extremely rich in personal property as well as in land. It was said of him that he had not been on the east side of Bond Street more than twice a year for the last 30 years, and that was on his way to receive dividends at the bank’.1
His father was Philip MEADOWES, (1672-1757), of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Mdx.

Biography
Meadowes’
father, an experienced official and diplomat whose career dated back to
the 1650s, was one of the members of the council of trade appointed in
1696, a place he held into the reign of George I. Meadowes’ marriage
into the Boscawen family no doubt explains his unsuccessful attempt to
enter the Commons at the St. Mawes by-election in November 1696.
In the
summer of 1698 he was appointed an excise commissioner, a post carrying a
salary of £800 p.a., and he was successful at the Tregony election of
the same year. A comparison, dating from September, of the old and new
Commons, classed him as a Court supporter, and on 18 Jan. 1699 he voted
against the third reading of the disbanding bill. On 17 Feb. his name
was given to the House as one of the Members who possessed offices in
the revenue, and when the following year he was forced, by the place
clause of the Grants Resumption Act, to choose between his place and his
seat in the Commons, he opted for the former.
In
October 1700 Meadowes was appointed knight marshal for life, a post for
which he was reported to have paid its previous incumbent £5,000, and
in December he was knighted at Windsor. Two years later he resigned from
the excise commission in order to return to the Commons, though James
Lowther* commented that following his resignation from this place
Meadowes was ‘not without a prospect of another’, and he was returned at
a by-election in Cornwall when his brother-in-law Sir Thomas Powys
chose to sit for Tregony instead of Truro.
Meadowes’ wife was the niece
of Lord Treasurer Godolphin (Sidney†), and in 1703 Godolphin suggested
him for the post of envoy to Holland. Meadowes hesitated whether or not
to take the place, and when visiting Amsterdam ‘for two or three days’
in early 1704 he quickly took a dislike to Holland and returned home.
Little is known of Meadowes’ contribution to the 1702 Parliament, but he
did not vote for the Tack on 28 Nov. 1704, and early the following year
was included upon a list of placemen. He transferred to Tregony at the
1705 election, and having been returned unopposed he was classed as a
‘High Church courtier’.
On 25 Oct. he voted for the Court candidate as
Speaker. At the end of 1706 Meadowes was appointed envoy to the Emperor,
arriving at Vienna on 25 June 1707, and remaining there until August
1709. In his absence Meadowes was classed as a Whig in an analysis of
the Commons dating from early 1708, and in April that year he was
appointed, thanks to Godolphin’s patronage, joint comptroller of army
accounts, worth £750 p.a.
He did not stand at the 1708 or any subsequent
election, but continued to hold minor government offices well into the
Hanoverian period. Meadowes died at Brompton, Middlesex, on either 3 or 5

Sir Edward Wortley Montagu (1678-1761) politician and diplomat; Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire 1716-18
Palaces of Constantinople (Istanbul)
Sir Edward Wortley Montagu (8 February 1678 – 22 January 1761) was British Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, husband of the writer Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and father of the writer and traveller Edward Wortley Montagu.
Son of Sidney Wortley Montagu and grandson of Edward Montagu, 1st Earl of Sandwich, a Cambridge graduate and lawyer, Wortley Montagu was educated at Westminster School, Trinity College, Cambridge (1693) and trained in the law at the Middle Temple (1693), was called to the bar in 1699 and entered the Inner Temple in 1706.
He was best known for his correspondence with, seduction of, and elopement with the aristocratic writer, Mary, daughter of Evelyn Pierrepont, 1st Duke of Kingston-upon-Hull. They married in 1712. He succeeded his father in 1727, inheriting Wortley Hall.
Montagu himself was a prominent Whig politician, and was MP for Huntingdon before eventually becoming a Lord Commissioner of the Treasury from 1714 to 1715 and Ambassador to the Ottoman Porte in Constantinople from 1716 to 1718.

As Ambassador, he was charged with pursuing the ongoing negotiations between the Ottomans and the Habsburg Empire.
Upon his return from Constantinople, he fell out with the Whig
hierarchy, but remained a Member of Parliament for Huntingdon
(1722–1734) and Peterborough (1734 until his death in 1761).
He left a large fortune to his daughter Mary, having in 1755 cut off his son Edward with a small allowance. Mary married the future Prime Minister, John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute. Sir Edward had bought and rebuilt Wortley Hall, near Barnsley in South Yorkshire, which also passed to his daughter.
Wortley Hall is a stately home in the small South Yorkshire village of Wortley, located south of Barnsley. For more than six decades the hall has been chiefly associated with the British Labour movement. It is currently used by several trades unions
and other organisations as a venue for residential training courses and
other meetings, as well as for purely social gatherings.
The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar with graduated slate
roofs to an irregular floor plan, mostly in 2 storeys with a 7-bay south
front.
The hall is a licensed venue for wedding and civil partnership ceremonies, and is open to day visitors who wish to explore its formal gardens and extensive grounds.
A manor house at Wortley was rebuilt by Sir Richard Wortley in 1586. During the English Civil War his son Sir Francis Wortley, 1st Baronet, like his powerful ally Sir Thomas Wentworth of Wentworth Woodhouse,
was a Royalist and fought for the King, allowing Wortley Hall to be
used as a garrison for 150 dragoons.
However in 1644 Sir Francis was
captured and imprisoned in the Tower and on his release in 1649 obliged
to pay a heavy fine to recover his property. Wortley then eventually
descended to an illegitimate daughter Anne, who married Sidney Montagu, second
son of the Earl of Sandwich, c.1670.
* She was a childhood friend of Sir Edwward Whortley Montague's wife.
(Her mother was unknown Newcomen- or was that Common)
The Hall was significantly remodelled by Giacomo Leoni in 1742–46 and the East Wing added in 1757–61 for Sir Edward Wortley Montagu, MP and Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire who died in 1761.
He left it to his daughter Mary, who had married Prime Minister John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute. From her it passed in 1794 to their son, Colonel James Archibald Stuart (1747–1818), who added the surname Wortley to his own (and later also added Mackenzie).
He left it to his son Colonel James Archibald (1776–1845) who was MP for Yorkshire from 1818 to 1826, when he was created Baron Wharncliffe.
Edward Montagu-Stuart-Wortley-Mackenzie, 3rd Baron Wharncliffe was created Earl of Wharncliffe in 1876.
The Hall was the seat of the Earls of Wharncliffe until the Second World War, when it was used by the British Army, after which its structural condition deteriorated.
In 1950, a group of local trade union activists identified the hall
as a possible educational and holiday centre, and established a co-operative which succeeded in purchasing the hall for those purposes. It was formally opened on 5 May 1951.

*Sidney Montagu had married a young lady called
Anne Newcomen, the passionately loved and illegitimate daughter of Sir
Francis
Wortley, whose name he adopted when he inherited his rich estates. His
children, Anne, Katherine and Edward, were known indifferently as
Wortley or
Montagu; precise people called them Wortley Montagu. Like Mary's mother,
Anne Newcomen had been dead these many years. In the early eighteenth
century
quite a number of wives failed to survive the first ten years of
matrimony.
And Mary had always taken an interest in Anne
and Katherine, and some notice of the much older Edward. Their
circumstances
gave her a curious sense of parallel - a rakish and widowed father, a
country estate, an admiration for bookishness and wit. Even before she
was very
intimate with them, she had a silly feeling that she knew them from some
past, transfigured time. And as she knew them better, she could hardly
get
out of her head the dream that she was a changeling; that instead of her
own two sisters and brother she was really of one blood with Anne and
Katherine - and that strange, self-contained, serious, powerful and
exasperating gentleman, Mr. Edward Wortley Montagu.
