Tombstone Tuesday: Capt Thomas Poindexter
Capt. Thomas Poindexter 1733 – 01 Jan 1807
The photo of Capt. Thomas Poindexter’s tombstone in Louisa County, VA was sent to me by Tom Hobbs, an archeologist who has been working at the Broaddus Flats site for many years now. I had written to him to thank him for creating the website VirginiaDigs.net and was pleasantly surprised to get a very nice email from Tom, with the Poindexter tombstone photo as well as photos of St. Peter’s and Slash Churches.
My membership in the DAR is through Capt. Poindexter for his service in the NC Militia, List F–No. 2, dated Jan. 1777, # 2044. Thomas’ second wife was Elizabeth Pledge and I descend through their son Archibald Pledge Poindexter and his wife Rebecca Flynn.

That is really neat that somebody found the tomb from your ancestory. I love the look of old tombs and wondering about their story. Very cool site!
There is something cool about tombstones from old war veterans
