• Notes

  Submitted via GEDCOM by Daniel Frederick Montgomery, CMS 2419, on 14 Jul 2004. Notes from L. H. Montgomery concerning his family history: FAMILY HISTORY - AUTOBIOGRAPHY By LLOYD H. MONTGOMERY Soon after the Louisiana Territory Purchase by the U.S. from France in1803, the U. S. Government was very much interested in colonizing thisnew vast land. But it progressed slowly in the first few years. Butwhen Mexico gained its freedom from Spain in 1821, and when Moses Austinhad been given a Spanish land grant in Texas on the Brazos River in 1820to start a colony, the momentum picked up. But he died before his colonycould be established. But the next year in 1821 his son, Stephen F.Austin did bring in some 300 families from Tennessee, Alabama and Georgiaand established San Felipe De Austin at its present site. It was in theyear of 1823 that my great grandfather, William Montgomery came withothers from Mississippi, along the Natchez Trace ("notches three", socalled after the Natchez Indians, from three slashes (notches) on thetrees to mark their trail) into Louisiana seeking new homes in thisvirgin territory. They forded the Red River at St. Maurice and intoNatchitoches Parish (named after another Indian tribe) and found a sitenear Bellwood, LA After settling there, he returned to Mississippi forhis young wife and brought her back to their new established home tobegin their life. They became the parents of one son, William H.Montgomery - born in 1825, who was my grandfather. He grew up, married,raised his family, and died in 1887 on the same place where he was born.Some Irish people (the Gibson's, the Kyle's, the Gandy's) had come fromTennessee to this area, so he married Martha Gibson who became mygrandmother. My grandfather was a successful farmer and a communityleader. He acquired on man slave called Judge, and at the end of the WarBetween the States, my grandfather gave him a cabin to live in and someland to work and he stayed on the place for several years, then left, Ido not know where. (This information by my father.) My father, John Thomas Montgomery, was the youngest of seven children,born to this family in 1871. There being, Uncle Bud (William), UncleJim, Uncle Joe, Aunt Nona, Aunt Mary, and Aunt Julia. (And was the lastsurvivor, dying on his birthday Feb. 4, 1967 at age 96.) My father was atimberman (logger), sawmill operator, cotton gin operator, and farmerduring his lifetime. My maternal grandfather, William P. Guise was born in Ohio of Germanparentage in 1847. In 1864, at age 17, he joined the Union Army, movedsouthward with it, was in Louisiana when the war ended and stayed. Helater married my grandmother and lived the rest of his life there. Hedied in 1909 in Winnfield where he is buried. He was in the Siege ofShreveport (guarding the Red River - keeping supplies from coming down tothe Confederates) and the Battle of Mansfield in April 1964, when theConfederate Army of Generals Smith and Dick Taylor (12,000) whipped theUnion Army of General Banks (25,000). This caused the collapse of theFederal Red River Campaign and forced the Union Army to retreat toShreveport where my grandfather was when the war ended. He became atimberman (logger), blacksmith (machinist), justice of the peace andChurch of Christ minister. He liked this part of Louisiana and latermoved down near Leesville where he met and married my grandmother, SarahJane Coleman, of a prominent Irish family in 1878. ***** (She remembered that her two brothers, William and Mitchell Coleman, werealso at the Battle of Mansfield but they were Confederate soldiers andtherefore on the opposite side from the man she would later marry. Therewas also her sister, Mazuria Coleman, who married A. H. "Tip" Perkins andraised their family their family in Leesville. So all of the Coleman'sand the Perkins's in this area are related. Her other sister, ElizabethAnn Coleman, married a young German immigrant, John F. Meyers, (who hadbecome a U. S. citizen). They had a son John F Meyers, Jr. and adaughter, Mary Elizabeth (Betty). Their mother died when Betty was asmall child, and grandfather and grandmother Guise reared her until hisdeath in 1909. She and my grandmother lived with my parents until hermarriage in 1916 to Mack E. Davison. Betty seems more like a sister tome than a cousin, as she is only three years older than my sister.Grandmother Guise lived with us until her death in 1924.) ***** To this union (Wm. P. Guise and Sarah Jane Coleman) was born one daughter- Amanda Elizabeth Guise - my mother, on March 19, 1880, in Hineston, LA(between Leesville and Alexandria). My father and mother married May 29, 1900, in Leesville, LA The had fivesons - John Guise, William, Clyde, Lloyd (me) and J.T. Jr. - and threedaughters - Hattie B., Mildred, and Myrtice. I was born in a farmhouse September 12, 1911, between the Wheelingcommunity and St. Maurice, LA with Dr. Morgan Brian attending - Thefourth son of the fourth son of the fourth generation of the Montgomery'sfrom Mississippi into Louisiana
