Note

Note:

 :: Name was Thomas Wentworth in "The Douglas Register". Name given as Thomas Willing/Willin Pledge Poindexter and called "Pledge" during settlement of father's estate. Descendants who applied for enrollment with the Cherokee Indians also referred to him as Pledge Poindexter.:: This couple seems to be the progenitors of Richard Elliot, through a son Francis. Pettitt book says there were three sons and several daughters but only lists a son Thomas Pledge (1800-1873) and daughter Mary who married George N. Hughes in 1832.:: Individuals who purchased land in Cherokee Co NC in 1838 as a result of the removal of the Cherokees to OK: Francis Poindexter (Dist 9 & 12) 556 acres for $517; Thomas W. P. Poindexter (Dist 8 & 11), 697 acres for $627

 :: Date of birth found in Poindexter Descendants Association, INc. "Newsletter"; Vol XVIII, Number 4, Oct 1999., p.17.

Samuel Martin was Bondsman, for the marriage to Elizabeth Lovill.

Wed 12 Feb 1800:: p.187 Thomas Flynn vs. Edward Lovill.. Jury impannelled and sworn; find for defendant.:: Pledge Poindexter, wit for pltff proves 30m and 1 day Edward Lovill was probably Pledge's father-in-law.

1810 Census, Surry Co NC:: Thomas W. Poindexter. 2m under 10, 2m 10-16, 1m 26-45. 2f under 10, 1f 16-26.

Surry Co NC Overseers of Roads 1807-1833

Agnes M. Wells & Carol L. Snow 1991:: p.24 Feb Term 1816 Thos. W P Poindexter overseer of road from Lovill's Ore Road to Yellow Bank Ford on Mitchells River

 :: The Poindexter books says that about 1838, Pledge went out to the Indians and was buried on the reservation in Macon, now Cherokee Co, NC. He did purchase land there along with his son Francis. Descendants later tried to enroll in the Cherokee Nation but were denied for lack of proof.:: It would seem to me that the Poindexters profited from the Indian removal - another indication they were not themselves part Cherokee in spite of the claims of descendants.

(Alternate death date in some trees is 1851; a source is needed to confirm.)
