Notes:

A Joseph Montgomery was listed on the 1816 census in Adams County, Mississippi and on the 1818 Tax list for the same, later moving to the Neutral Strip-Negreet. He claimed lands in Sabine Parish in early 1820's cort in Natchitoches, La. However, he is listed as owning land as early as 1805 and being one of the settlers on the Rio Hondo lands. He was a private in the 12th and 13th consolidated Regiment, Louisiana Militia during the War of 1812. He was listed as owning 6 or more slaves in 1861. According to Lona Mae Duggan Gordon, Joseph lived in a double pen house. Usually constructed of Pine logs, there were one or more rooms in two separate enclosures under one roof. When first arriving in Sabine Parish, there were many bears that often would attack livestock, so Joseph brought the livestock into the cabin penned in a corner by the chimney for protection.

Joseph Turner Montgomery, Lavinia Montgomery, and Nancy Morris all have their names on a bronze plaque beside the door of the Zion Hill Baptist Church in Negreet which states, "On the third Sunday in December, Anno Domino, 1826, Zion Hill Church was constituted by the following Presbytery to wit: William Cook and James Martin." The land the church was built on was donated by Joseph. (Casagranda, 1850 Census, 82-83).
