Individual Details
Gabriel Jones Poindexter
(8 May 1758 - 28 Aug 1831)
Served as a soldier in the Virginia Line, Revolution, from Louisa Co. Removed to Woodford County KY.
Gabriel surely had more children than those listed. He was married ca 1784. I suspect the Gabriel who lived in Clark Co 1860-1880, born ca 1800, was one of his older children.

Thomas Poindexter, m. Lucy, dau of Gabriel Jones. His will 7/15/1796 names dau Elizabeth Jones Cammack. He was Christopher Carmack; they moved to Franklin Co KY
Also has that her brother Gabriel d. Aug 1881, Clarke Co IN, not 1831 - however, 1881 would be impossible for a man that was in the Revolution; there may have been another Gabriel Poindexter in Clarke Co that died in 1881 because in the 1880 census there is a "G" Poindexter, age 52, b. IN. [I had to look all the way back to 1860, but this man was also a Gabriel]
