Thomas Poindexter and his brother George Jr. are the only 2 to provide the orig. emigrant, George, with grandchildren.
Thomas married Sarah Crawford, daughter of David Crawford, member of the House of Burgess.Sarah is of Scottish descent and is belived to be a direct descendant of one of the Barons who signed the Magna Carta (Either Richard or Gilbert DeClare).I/ve been able to find little about Thomas except that he was born sometime around 1674-75 and died in 1719.They had 6 children:Suzanna, Elizabeth, Sarah, John, Thomas and Julius.This info comes from the archives at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA) at Old Salem in Winston-Salem, NC and the DAR.While they're info is detailed back to the early Poingdestres of the Island of Jersy, it can have errors.One of the notes I have indicates that 2 of Thomas and Sarah's children died in infancy.One was Julius (b&d 5-5-1719) The other was belived to be Suzanna (b 2-6-1696, d 7-16-1698)Elizabeth, b1-14-1699 m a Mr Shressbury; Sarah, b 5-12-1702, m a Mr Rice; John, b 1703, m Christian Gorsuch; and Thomas, Jr. (my line) b 1705, m Sarah Bond of Louisa Co, VA;
I hope this of some use to you.
