JOHN PITT LEE MONTAGUE 

c1812 born in Middlesex Co., VA

1835 married ELIZABETH NEWCOMB ROUSE -- the widow of JAMES M. ROUSE Sr. 

1841 resettled the household to Kemper Co., MS, within a larger group of relatives

1850 documented by federal census in Kemper Co., MS

1853 resettled the household to Burleson Co., TX, within a larger group of relatives

1857 joined Dove Baptist Church

1858 died in Burleson Co.; burial unknown

Related families that settled with the Montague household, included --

NEWCOMB (relatives of Betty Newcomb Rouse Montague) and JAMES M. ROUSE Jr. (son of Betty Montague). 

Descendants of the Montagues, Newcombs, and Rouses remained in Burleson Co. for decades. I believe Betty Newcomb Montage is buried somewhere in Caldwell.

James Madison Rouse Jr. resided in Tanglewood (Lee Co.) and is buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Milam County.

I and my fellow researchers have been confused about whether Tanglewood was originally in Burleson County or not. We are aware that -- at some point -- Lee Co. was formed using parts of other counties, including Burleson.
