re: your thomas poindexter, i believe that he was the owner of my gg-grandmother. her name was kate (katy) booker and her mother was gracie booker. according to the divorce record in nottoway county, kate married julian shelton "while slaves, pith the permission of their owners, as was the custom of the day". i believe that julian was owned by thomas shelton and is the root of my last name (shelton)... i have been to the louisa county courthouse, but did not check for deeds and wills of thomas poindexter. i hope to get back there this month.... i will let you know if i find anything. sid
