Surnames: Pledge Poindexer Clough Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WBC.2ACI/2432.1 Message Board Post: Mr. Culbertson, I am not sure exactly how many generations you are interested in but in Ozarks Dade Co. Missouri I have countless collaterals (and can find descendants) to this day from the descendants of Archibald Pledge Poindexter..as neighbors and (then of course) marrying into my mother's and father's families from 1870s, etc. Here I am referring to cemetery records, documented (well, most of the time <smile>) information from living persons. From Civil War pension and other records they were valued members of my family. I heartily recommend a much better source (before the 1890s) than I in the Poindexter website...http://www.poindexterfamily.org/history/links/WebRings.html They have a large gedcom at the family history site. The Isle of Jersey was "theirs" for quite a few centuries after Wm the Conqueror. My best regards...Janet (Baugh) Hunter (descendant of .Ann Poindexter and Richard Clough)
