  • Notes 
    • !1. Joseph Carter Montgomery was probably born on the family farm just across

      the river from Patrick, Arkansas. Zola Montgomery Spencer Brashears said that her father, Richard, told her that he was born in a house that was there.
      Since the 1860 Census showed that their father, George E. was still living in Madison Co., Ark., in 1860, it seems likely that they were still living in the same place as when Richard was born 4 years earlier. Grace Montgomery in Jan.1978 gave the birthplace of J.C. as Carthage, MO but there is no known source of that info.

      2. According to a taped conversation with his son, J.Howard Montgomery, in 1965, Joe Montgomery went to Texas when he was about 15 (approx. 1875). He ran cattle in Williamson County (near Austin).

      3. According to Alma Baldwin,his grand-daughter, Joe returned to Arkansas and

      tried to get his brothers and sisters to move to Texas with him. At some time he was able to persuade Alma's mother, Bernethia Jane, to move to Hill County,TX. Per a letter dated 14 Feb. 1979 from Carl Montgomery, Joe also offered to help "set up" Carl's father, Oscar, on a farm in Texas. The date of this offer is unknown. Oscar did not make the move due to his growing family.

      4. In 1888, Joe married Belva Lou Matthews at her parent's home with Rev. John Miller performing the ceremony according to Grace Montgomery. Grace also believed that the Matthews family lived in Hill County at that time.

      5. A note on the back of a portrait of the J.C. Montgomery family says:

      "3E, 4 1/2S Near Mt.View Schoolhouse" - These are apparently directions to the Montgomery family farm in Hill County. Grace Montgomery said this would be near Lovell, which is where her husband, Howard, said that he grew up and went to school. From the size of the children in the picture, it was apparently made about 1903 and it was made at a Hillsboro studio.

      6. The Montgomery family moved to Haskell County, TX in 1909. Per the land

      records in the Haskell County courthouse, Mr. Montgomery bought a 433-acre farm in the Whitt's Chapel community (later called Howard), about 3.5 miles

      northeast of the current Paint Creek school. They built a two-story house there.

      7. J.C. and Bell moved to 600 South Avenue G in Haskell in late 1925 after

      retiring from farming. They lived there until his death.

      !Census data:

      1860: George E. M. household, Madison Co.Ark. - No Joseph Carter listed.

      However, there is a newborn, "Thomas", age 1/12 year.

      1870: George E.M. household, Franklin Township, Newton Co., MO - Joseph C., age 10, bn Ark.

      1880:

      1890:

      1900:Hill Co.TX, page 15 of 188, Spvsr Dist.6, E.D.51, Justice Precinct 8.

      Jos.C., farmer, age 40, bn Ark; Belle B., wife, age 28, bn Ark; William A., age 8, bn TX; Joseph H., age 3, bn TX; Della L., age 10/12, bn TX. Also listed: George Tolan, farm laborer.

      1910: Haskell Co.TX, Vol.72, Sheet 105, E.D. 108

      Joseph C., age 49, bn Ark; Belva L., wife, age 38, bn Ark; W.Arthur, age 18;

      Howard J., age 13; Della L., age 10; Lela A., age 8; Weldon Bailey, age

      1 11/12.

      !According to Lelia Montgomery Cox, she was told by her mother, Belva, that her sister, Ruby Rebecca, died of the croup. They were apparently traveling by wagon from Kerens, TX, where the Matthews family lived, back to Brandon. They stopped overnight with a family along the way. Belle did not have a dry diaper for the baby, and was reluctant to ask for one from their hosts, so the baby stayed wet all night. As a result, she caught the croup and died.
