Eliza's father, Jubal died 1850 and mother, Rhoda just 2 years later.
Kentucky Marriages, 1785-1920
NAME: Harrison Pointer
Spouse: Eliza Jane Payne
Event date: 21 Sep. 1841
Event place: Barren county. Kentucky
1850 Barren County, Kentucky--
HEAD: "Harrison Poynter" age 37 farmer
wife Eliza J- age 27
Margaret A- age 13 (B: 1837)
Sarah E- age 11 (B: 1839)
These 2 daughters were born to Harrison's first wife, Nancy Dowdy-Poynter.
She must have died in childbirth or shortly after..
Harrison remarried 1841 and had 3 more children by Eliza Jane Payne:
Mary Rodelia Poynter Greer (1843 - 1898 (2nd wife of Ezekiel Greer
William Henry Poynter (1845 - 1926
Amanda Jane Poynter (1847 - 1861
I found nothing on her anywhere...except the 1850 census living with her father Harrison. Believe she died after her husband Harrison, 1854 and before the 1860 census.
