I have been going over Addie Timberlake McCall's "Family Genealogy" with
a fine-tooth comb. As you may know, Addie wrote this manuscript in or
about 1936, and it includes Poindexter information since she was a
descendant of the Nancy Poindexter that married Richard Timberlake.
The following intrigued me since I have not seen any discussion of these
people on this list--though it may have happened in the past, before I
began to lurk on the list:
Addie said: " Two brothers...were Baptist preachers: Richard Jones
Poindexter and John Poindexter. John Poindexter lived in Louisa
County....He was converted and baptized August 24, 1790. In February
1792 he was ordained a Baptist minister and formed a church in Albemarle
County called Bethel. He died in 1819. He was married several times...
"Richard Jones Poindexter, grandson of Thomas, [My note: he was a son of Thomas, grandson of John] married Fannie Maer, they
had 8 children, only one lived to manhood and bore the name, Abram Maer
Poindexter. Richard Jones Poindexter was from Louisa County, Virginia,
moved to North Carolina ans was pastor of Hollis Grove Church
[Baptist]. [His son] Abram Maer Poindexter was born in Bertie County,
North Carolina September 22, 1809, he married Marcia P. Scott, June 27,
1871 in Orange County, Virginia. A mistake in that date, 1871--he died
May 7, 1872 in Orange County, Virginia. [Unclear why Addie included the
foregoing statement.]
"Thos. Poindexter, born in Louisa County Virginia in 1733, died 1828 in
North Carolina, probably was brother of John and Richard Jones
Poindexter and father of Nancy...."
Okay, that's the end of my quote from Addie's manuscript. What I'm
wondering is, has anyone worked on the above John and Richard Jones
Poindexter? and has anyone discovered whether the Thos. P. who was born
in 1733 in Virginia and d. in 1828 North Carolina was a brother of John
and Richard Jones P.?
Addie T. McCall seems to have pretty accurate info. She said in two
places that she believed that the above Thomas P. was the father of the
mysterious Nancy who m. Richard Timberlake.
