Individual Details

Mary L. Poindexter

(Oct 1818 - 1900)



Mary L. was still at home with her parents in 1870. I wondered what might have happened to her after they died. I found her in 1880, age 60, living as a boarder in the home of Frances B. Henry, age 47, b. KY, parents born in VA. They were in Hopkinsville, Christian Co KY.

In 1900, Mary was living with her sister Ritchie Burnett in Hopkinsville. She was listed as a sister, born Oct 1818 in VA, age 71. Ritchie was born July 1842, now age 57 and widowed. She had 3 children, 2 are living. Son John P., born Jun 1867, age 32, and Virginia R., born Jul 1879, age 21. Ritchie & Mary L. were both listed as "capitalists" and John P. was a shoe merchant.
