Individual Details

Thomas married Hannah Catherine Greene; their first child was born when he was 15 and Hannah was 13. Or there is something wrong with the dates....

I did find them in the 1860 Census. District 4, Overton Co TN. Sweet Gum Plains P.O., Hh 1627
Thomas Poindexter, age 15. Hannah C. ,age 13. Archer T., male, age 1 month old.
Thomas's father had just married his stepmother Lucinda Lollar who was much younger and none of the children by Fannie Coe were living with them.
On the same page in this census, living with Elizabeth, age 37, b. KY, and her husband Asbury Boon, was Martin Poindexter, age 21, and James Poindexter, age 17 - they were farm laborers. Martin's age is close to that of Thomas's brother Robert M. - was his middle name Martin? The brother Josiah was married and living next door to their father.. James is another mystery.

Is this his service:
