Sabine Parish Parish was created from Nathcitoches Parish, Louisiana March 27, 1843. The land area of the Parish is approximately as large as the State of Rhode Island. The 1850 Census , was the first taken for the Parish. This census included 3,347 whites and 1,168 slaves. At the time of settlement the Parish was thick with Pine trees and contained many creeks and bayous. As land was cleared, the pine logs were used to build homes and cotton was King. The home of Joseph Turner Montgomery was built as a double pen house as were many others in the area. Family tradition has it that the wild animals would come during the night to kill livestock. In order to prevent the loss of stock the animals were brought into the house at night and penned in a corner of the room for their protection. The early days in Sabine Parish was considered "paradise" for hunters. Chief trading points for Sabine Parish were Natchitoches and Alexandria. Many that settled in Sabine Parish had parts of their families move across the Sabine River into Sabine County, Texas. Many of the cemeteries at this time were placed on the land of family homes. For this reason and the fact that they have not been cared for, many vital records have been lost. People generally married at an early age and had very large families. Disease was prevelant at many times in the Parish and children were often lost by the age of 2. By 1860, Churches had been established and cemetery records are greatly improved as cemeteries were placed on church property and more judiciously cared for. According to the 1860 census for Sabine Parish there were 707 occupied dwellings with a total population of 5,828 individuals, of these less than 2,000 were slaves.
