Individual Details

Although both of Frances Poindexter's parents named her as Frances Anderson in their Wills, there is doubt over exactly which Anderson she married. However, there is apparently a deed of 1746 when Robert and Frances sold land on Taylor's Creek, part of a patent to David Anderson, to Richard Ambler.

Robert said to be the son of David Anderson & Susannah Swann of New Kent Co.
