Individual Details
Josiah Poindexter
(Abt 1822 - 18 Mar 1866)
Not a proven child of Archibald Pledge and Rebecca. Circumstantial by date of birth; does not fit other lines. He was born in Monroe Co KY; Archibald Thomas Poindexter named a son Josiah; Josiah moved to Missouri where at least two of the sons of Archibald Pledge Poindexter had moved.
Married Nancy Craddock on 8 Sep 1842 in Crawford, MO.
No Josiah was listed as a child of Archibald and Rebecca in William Arche Poindexter's application to the Eastern Cherokee Rolls, Case #7282. He did list a Joseph. However William A. also listed a Robert [there wasn't one] and omitted Archibald Thomas, Dorothy, Elizabeth, and John. I would say a very unreliable list.
