Individual Details
John Poindexter
(19 Mar 1770 - 1843)
Appears on Bedford Co Tax Rolls 1796-1802 or 1803. About 21 when enrolled on tax lists. Married Miss Chilton.
There is a will of Maj. Thomas Jones in Campbell Co VA WB 5, dated 18 Feb 1826. Campbell was formed out of Bedford Co. Jones gave to his son Jonny all the land he bought of John Poindexter - presumably this man, as I've found no other of the many John Poindexters in this location of an age to be possible.
