MONTGOMERY
According to the Certificate of Disability For Discharge, Army Of The United States, Peter H. MONTGOMERY was born in Lawrence County, Tennesse. His Certificate of Death, Bureau of Vital Statistics, Missouri State Board of Health, Peter was born July 1834. Peter married Catharine McBee in Polk County, Mo. Peter & Catherine later moved to Newton Co., MO. I recently found a William Montgomery who lived less that an a mile from the McBee family in Polk Co., MO. This appears to be the William Montgomery who married a Susannah Cook, 26 Sep 1839 in Lawrence Co., Tn by Jacob Lacforx, J.P. William may have been Peter’s brother. I AM LOOKING FOR THE PARETNS OF PETER H. MONTGOMERY.

PACE/HENDRIX
Thomas PACE and Mary HENDRIX were married in Lawrence Co. TN in July of 1833; he died just prior to the 1850 census, where she appears there with their children. That’s the last census on which I can find her, though the tax records show that taxes were paid on the land they owned, usually by her, until 1875, when I assume she died, because her surviving children sold the land after that. By 1860, most of Mary’s children had moved, as evidence by the marriages of Sarah to Wm. Busick, Christopher C. to Martha Brown, and Sophronia to Wm. Smith all in the early to middle 1850’s in Gibson Co. James D., her oldest son, married in Benton Co. AR where he moved with uncle Wm. R. Pace(and his wife, Sarah Hendrix Pace, sis. to his mom)also in the early 1850’s. I have reason to believe that perhaps Mary, also known as “Pollie”, may have remarried, being a widow at age 35, though the Lawrence Co. or Gibson Co. records don’t reflect it.Appreciate any information on Mary “Pollie” Pace, in TN, between 1851 and 1875.
