Gray Bynum clerk"
William Montgomery, served as administrator of his father-in-law's (Joseph Millsaps) estate in Howard County, (1820-1838) Missouri. The estate was eventually settled in 1837-1838 among five or six heirs., Witness=William Montgomery5,2 
Will*October 1821 "Joseph’s [Sr.] will was signed in October of 1821, a year after Joseph, Junior’s 1820 demise. Communications over the wilderness seperating the father in North Carolina from his son in Missouri was not the best in those days, but the father must have heard the news of his son’s death, or of a severe illness-hence the bequest to the younger Joseph or his heirs. In land Deed Book D on page 137 of Wayne County, Kentucky there is a document whereby Andrew Millsap, who was living in Wayne County, sold his interest on the 29 April 1822 in the estate of his grandfather, Joseph Milsaps, of Iredell County, North Carolina for the sum of $23. He sold his interest to his uncle, Hiram Millsap, who was living in Lincoln County, Missouri. (It is believed by this author that Andrew sold his interest to his Uncle Hiram instead of to his brother, Hiram, because his brother was born 16 September 1814, and would only be a minor in 1822.) Presumably Andrew sold his interest in 150 acres of land in Iredell County, North Carolina that Joseph Millsaps, Senior left to his son, Joseph. Joseph also left his son, Joseph, 'my negro girl named Kaat (Kate?) and all her increase, and an equal share of my undivided estate.' Kate was sold for $236 in Macon County, Missouri on the 7 October 1850. The sale of slaves resulted from the estate of William Montgomery, husband of Elizabeth, daughter of the Joseph Millsaps, Junior."2
