Individual Details

Francis married, Apr 1837 in Morgan Co, AL to Apphia Rose, daughter of Francis Rose. No children are listed in the Poindexter book.

In 1896, one of the surviving children of Francis Poindexter Clingman made application to the Dawes Commission. Minnie S [or Amanda] Fountain of Conecuh Co, Al stated she and her brother Joseph W. Clingman were the only surviving children of Francis P. Clingman. Francis was the brother of Dr. A. B. Clingman, late of Clark Co, AR. Minnie stated that Francis Poindexter Clingman was born 19 Feb 1811 in Huntsville, NC, the son of Ann P. Clingman who was born 25 Nov 1787 [this date differs a few days from other citations of Ann's birth] and married Peter Clingman 14 Jan 1806.
Minnie also applied for her children, Hugh age 16, Mary L. 14, and Francis S. age 8.

Arthur A., son, b. Dec 1900, age 5 mo, b. AR [census was taken 21 Jun 1900 - Arthur obviously born in 1899]
To me it seems notable that Joseph, who had obviously lived in Indian Territory near the time [1896] all the Poindexters made application to the Dawes Commission, did not himself apply. Perhaps knowing first hand what Oklahoma was like, he wasn't interested in the Cherokee lands. Or maybe he was better informed as to the requirements.
