Numbers of descendants of Micajah Poindexter filed together under the claim of William A. Poindexter, Case 4170, Mississippi Choctaw Indians, in an attempt to be registered on the Indian Rolls.
25 Nov 1901, William A. [Anders] Poindexter, Case 4170, was filed, followed by the rest of the family. William was then age 50 and lived at Nocona, [Montague Co]TX. He was born in Monroe Co, KY and had moved to Grayson Co, TX in 1852 where he lived until 1878. He then lived in Wise Co, TX for four years, and then Parker Co for eleven years. His father was Micajah Poindexter, his mother Mary P. Poindexter, and they are both dead. They were married about 1835 in Monroe Co KY. He's not sure he can get a record because the court house in Monroe Co burned up. His wife was Nannie J. Poindexter; they were married 22 Jun 1882 in Wise Co, TX He has six unmarried children to make application for: Joseph L. age 17, John H. age 14, James R. age 12, Susie W. age 10, Edith M. age 8, David W. age 4. He makes application under the Mississippi Choctaws, his grandmother Rebecca Poindexter, maiden name Rebecca Flynn.
