From the Boone County West Virginia History, 1990 Boone County Genealogical Society, Inc.

Moved to Cole River in 1810 around Racine, West Virginia.

Poindexter Toney was born on 3 Oct 1763 in Buckingham County, Virginia. He was a son of William and Margaret (Sutherland) Toney of Franklin County, Virginia. He died on 5 Jul 1832 and is buried near Toneys Branch in Boone County. He may have served in the Revolutionary War because it is known that his twin brother, Carey, served. He may have been with other members of the Toney family when their ginseng camp on Toneys Branch was raided by Indians in the early 1790's. We know that his brother, John Toney, owned land there at that time. He married lst Mary Rawson of Franklin County, Virginia in 1788 and 2nd Jane Lilly, daughter of Robert, in 1797 in Montgomery County, Virginia. Some people have the theory that his lst wife and children may have been killed in the raid on the "Rooting Camp", but there doesn't seem to be a tradition in this area of such deaths. - Submitted by: Janet Barker Hager
