Judith,
I have quite a bit of information on Poindexter Smith. He married Holman R. Shepherd and Jane R. Smith in Fluvanna County. He was a Baptist minister. I got the following from web searches, but have more, including his will.

"George L. Smith and Elizabeth Harris were married prior to 1780. They had seven sons. their third son was Poindexter Patteson Smith b. 14 Aug 179 3 in Buckingham Co., VA. Sometime in the early 1800's George L. Smith and family moved to Middle Tennessee.

In Oct. 1813 Poindexter P. Smith joined the army under Gen. Jackson and fought the Creek Indians at Talahachia and Taladega.

In 1815 Poindexter P. Smith returned from Tennessee to Buckingham Co., VA, and later became a Baptist minister. 22 Feb 1825 he married Martha Jane Berryman, probably the daughter of Wm. & Susan Berryman of Buckingham Co., VA.

Children
Adeline Smith
Decker Smith
Poindexter Patteson Smith , Jr. b: ABT 1830
William Alexander Smith b: 5 SEP 1831 in Buckingham Co, Va
George L Smith b: 1833
Martha Sarah J Smith b: ABT 1839 in Buckingham Co, Va

If you want more, please email me. Most of the info seemed well documented. I can give you my sources.
Anne
