George Poindexter died in 1692 in New Kent County, VA. His home, <EM>Criss Cross</EM>, still stands today and is privately owned. There are several web sites that deal with the early family (see below for a selection). We begin here with Thomas Poindexter (1705-1765), son of Thomas Poindexter and Sarah Crawford, who married Sarah Veale, daughter of Bond Veale and Elizabeth Goshling. At least three of their sons have descendants in Forsyth and neighboring counties in North Carolina.<P> <HR> <H4>Third Generation</H4> Children of Thomas Poindexter and Sarah Veale<BR> David Poindexter (1725-?)<BR> William Poindexter (1729-?) m.

William Randolph<P> *His name appears in several forms. The Poindexter Descendants Association, Inc. "Newsletter" 18(4):17 (1999) gives his date of birth as 3 Jan 1770; the Douglas Register (see Sources) says he was baptized on 5 Nov 1771 as Thomas Wentworth Poindexter. Poindexter descendants say that his name is given as Thomas Willing/Willin Pledge Poindexter and called "Pledge" during settlement of his father's estate.<P> The list of children above is supported by estate records for Thomas Poindexter. We are a bit dubious about the 30-year span of births, however, and wonder if the birthdates of the youngest children are really correct.<P> <HR> Children of Bond Veale Poindexter and 1) Susanna<BR> Gabriele Poindexter m.

Poindexter. These appear to be based on the 1850 Forsyth County census, which is misleading. The census entry reads as follows:<P> <UL> Thomas Poindexter 43<BR> Jenny " 37<BR> James M. Hunter 15<BR> Amanda J. "<BR> John G. " 10<BR> Francis A. " 6 (listed as male)<BR> Eliza James " 18<BR> Elizabeth Hunter 82<P> </UL> Further investigation reveals that James and Amanda are both HUNTERs, Jane's children from her first marriage, which was to <A HREF="hunter.html">William Hunter</A> (1804-1836); they married in 1833. John G. and Frances, who is actually female, are the two oldest Poindexter children, consistent with Jane's marriage to Thomas Poindexter in 1839. Eliza is really Eliza JAMES, Jane's younger sister. The Poindexter family site omits Cornelia, who appears in the 1860 census, age 8.<P> ----------<P> Children of John J. Poindexter and Martha Jane Ogburn<BR> Sarah A.E.
