Sallie A. Martin applied 22 Aug 1896 in Yadkin Co. She listed her siblings and their children in her application. Only unmarried underage children were supposed to be listed. Married children were to apply on their own. Sallie even included a deceased brother - perhaps she was just citing family members. In naming her children with their children, she did not list all of them. Brother, Thomas H. applied on his own but didn't even list his children.
Robert A. Poindexter was the father of Martha Wentworth Poindexter who married T. B. [Thomas Baxter] Stimpson. Their children: Sallie A., R. R. [either Robert or Rebecca], R. O. [Rachel O.], C. J. [Charlotte Jane], S. T. [Solomon Thomas], P.H. [Pleasant H. - died 1878] and Thomas. [Rev. Thomas H.]
Sallie Stimpson married J. G. Martin and their children are W. H., Mary, Blanche, John G., and Sallie Martin.
C. J. Stimpson married W. L. Kelly and their children are: Mary C., H. W. Kelly
S. T. Stimpson was the father of Daisy and Harvy Stimpson
W. H. Martin is the father of W. G., G. G., and Evelyn Martin
I could never Sallie, her family or her married son W. H. - I did find her brothers Solomon, Robert, and sister Charlotte. There is little about Sallie in the Poindexter book - she's listed as Ann Stimpson, born about 1845.
