Ann Radford Poindexter was baptized 31 January 1761 by the Rev. William Douglas at Saint James Northam, Goochland County, VA.[1]
Ann is said to have hidden notes in her petticoats from her mother concerning the British troops and taken them across enemy lines. Her mother was recognized as a DAR Patriot. However, actual proof of these episodes has long since been lost and no one can join DAR on Elizabeth Pledge Poindexter without representing new proof.[2]
