Alexander and his wife, Casandra Moody, continue to be a mystery. Other than the marriage record from Amite County, MS nothing is known about the couple prior to their moving to Louisiana. Alexander evidently acquired some wealth prior to his locating in Louisiana based on some documented transactions in which he loans money to other members in his community. He was also evidently well educated and has quite a bit of business savvy as he understood the legal system and documented his loans going as far as securing the debts with liens on property.

A number of Montgomery's settled in Amite County in the late 1700's and early 1800's but as yet, no documented links have been established.

Alexander was most likely born in the United States with his ancestors arriving in America from Scotland or Ireland.

9/1/1823 Alexander and Williams Jones sign a marriage bond in Amite County, MS. A marriage license is issued and the marriage to Cassandra Moody takes place on 9/4/1823.

2/10/1829 According to a bill of sale dated February 10, 1829, Alexande rpurchased an eight year old male slave named "Cornelius". The slave was purchased from John McGhee of Poison County, North Carolina for the sum of $325.

1/13/1844 Involved in a lawsuit with decendants of Nicholas Grubb relating to the purchase of a slave named Maria and her two children.
