Henry Patillo Poindexter, b. 1792, Surry Co, NC
On Fri, Feb 11, 1834,in the Court Minutes of Surry Co., N.C. Henry P. Poindexter was appointed Guardian of 4 children. (see below)I am a descendant of one of these LONG orphans, and would like to know if anyone has any information about what happened after this event.All of the LONG children remained in N.C., but Henry P. Poindexter apparently did not.
“Anthony Long, Guardian to Tho Long, Jane Long, Jno Long, and Wm Long, came into court and resigned his said guardianship, whereupon the court upon motion appointed Henry P. Poindexter, Guardian to said children to wit, Tho Long, Jane Long, Jno Long, and Wm Long who entered into bond with N(icholas) L Williams & Elias Turner as securitys in the sum of $10,000 the justices were Jos Williams, Wm C Bird and Micajah Oglesby, C B Tucker, & E Parker.Fee paid.”
(NOTE:Elias Turner was maternal grandfather of these four LONG orphans.Guardian may have been Dr. Henry Patillo Poindexter, b. 4/10/1792 Surry Co, NC, m. bef 1820 Sarah Paup, was on 1820 census in Surry Co, said to have moved to TN., then AR. )
