Joshua born 1812 in Montgomery County was the s on of David and Nancy (Stephens) Vineyard. Cir. 1807, David settled on the Little West Fork Creek (Red River) in an area claimed by both Kentucky and Tennessee. This area became Tennessee in the 1859 boundary settlement. Ref. Gene Marrow, Historical Notes of Clarksville, Tennessee 1784-1864, 1934. David was mustered in 15 November 1813 in Mitchisson's Kentucky Militia to serve in the War of 1812. His unit was the only unit to serve with the 2nd Regiment of Cockes West Tennessee Militia in the Battle of New Orleans. Afterwards David fell sick and died during his trip home in Bogue Chitto, Lawence County (now Lincoln Co.) Mississippi 5 April 1815. His probate is found in Montgomery Co. Probate Will Book B, pages 375 and 436 and Court Minutes Vol 7, pages 149 and 177.
Also serving in Cockes Militia were George Vineyard (brother of David) who settled later in Dickson Co., TN and Isaiah Vineyard (son of David). Ezekiel Stephens (nephew of David) served in Captain Weakley's Co. 2nd Regiment (Cocke's) West Tennessee Militia.
