Note

Note: Thomas was born an unknown date .
Alive in 1826 as of Louisa Co, Virginia, USA
We know nothing of this Thomas Pondexter. Had hoped he would be the Thomas who was in Kentucky but dates do not go together.1
He witnessed the New Tag of Charles M. Poindexter on 14 September 1826 at Virginia, United States; This Indenture made the 14th day of September one thousand eight hundred and twenty six between Arnett Poindexter, Peter Poindexter and William Poindexter of Kentucky Samuel, Richard and Thomas Poindexter all of the County of Louisa and John S. May husband of Margaret (daughter of Joseph) and State of Virginia and Sarah Tate of Newton Co and State of Georgia, all of the one part and Charles Poindexter of the County of Louisa and State of Virginia of the other part. Witnesseth that all of the first part being heirs and sub heirs of William Poindexter deceased, for and in consideration of five hundred and twenty six dollars and fifty cents have thus bargained sold delivered unto Charles Poindexter of the second part a certain parcel of land being part of a tract whereon William Poindexter decd formerly lived and being lying and situate in the County of Louisa on the east side of the road...............2 EPARC Reports:CharterThe first problem to be addressed is the origin of the earliest Thomas Poindexter inAmerica. He is the ancestor of many—or even most—American Poindexters. Yet as ofnow, there is no decisive evidence on his birth. Is he the son of the first George inAmerica? the grandson? some other Poindexter, maybe in Jersey?http://www.poindexterfamily.org/history/EPARC/reports/0.pdf
