Montgomery "Gum" Crockett was born on May 10, 1839 in Wythe County, Virginia, the son of John Montgomery Crockett and Mary Vaughn. It is said that he and Russ Barnett came to Elliott County, Kentucky from Virginia and bought land together. Part of this land is where the cemetery now sets. Montgomery and his wife later sold a farm on Big Caney Creek and Binion Ford Road (as it was called) to their daughter, Martha, and her husband, John H. Binion.
Montgomery served in the Civil War as Private in the Confederacy in the fifth regiment Kentucky Mounted Infantry, Company D. Enlisting on October 19, 1861 in Carter County, Kentucky, Montgomery was mustered out on October 20, 1862.
In 1865, he married Mary Jane "Nancy" Carter. Their children were George, John, Martha, Robert, Amanda, and Albert.
At home, Montgomery rode horseback, having served in the Kentucky Mounted Infantry during the Civil War. He also visited his brother, Byron, in Virginia by horseback.
Montgomery passed away in 1903 and was laid to rest in the Barnett Cemetery near his home.
