Poindexter, A Norman Family, gives year of birth as c 1734. Poindexter Family History says about 1732, but says the same year for older brother John.

One of the bequests of the will of John Poindexter who married Christian, was 200 acres on Golden Mine Creek & a slave named Leander to son William - later William and wife Margaret deeded 100 acres of land on Goldmine Creek to John Poindexter. In 1771, William Poindexter of Trinity Parish was listed as owning a slave Leander. Solid evidence that William who married Margaret was a son of John and Christian Poindexter.
