[Obviously some of the younger children are grandchildren. Elizabeth probably the wife of James, but they aren't old enough to have Augusta and Rose and both young ladies are too young to be children of Sarah R.]

In 1850 in Surry Co, there was a household headed by Eliza Lovell, apparently a widow. She had James H. age 12, Augusta age 10, Margaret R. age 8, and Sarah M. age 6. Eliza could be the widow of Sarah & James' oldest son Thomas as he is the only one who has not otherwise been given a wife and I've seen no death date for him.

Sarah Redford "Sally" POINDEXTER and James LOVILL were married on 3 June 1807 in Surry County, North Carolina.^6,23,33 James LOVILL was born in 1780 in North Carolina.⁹¹ He died in Centerville, Reynolds County, Missouri.⁹¹

Here is testimony of a daughter to the Guion Miller Commision, circa 1908.
Mary R. Marion, was 63, lived in Surry Co. She was related to the Poindexters through her father, his mother being Sally R. Poindexter, daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth Pledge Poindexter. My father died a month ago at age 95 and he told me Betty Pledge Poindexter's father was William Pledge. The wife of William Pledge was Betty Donahoo and her father was Donahoo, a Cherokee Indian Chief who lived in his last home in Yadkin. [We think he did.] My father never got money from the Indians except when he worked as a doctor among the Western Cherokee at Vinita, Indian Territory. He practiced there for about 10 years beginning in 1867. The Cherokee offered tribal rights if he would stay; he moved to Missouri and died there. Sally R. Poindexter was born 6 Apr 1784.
Mary's father was obviously William Radford Lovill, son of Sarah R. Poindexter who married James Lovill. Sarah was a daughter of Thomas & Betty. William R. Lovill was a officer in the CSA. The Poindexter book says he moved from Surry Co to Johnson Co MO about 1866, Mary would have been then about age 20 - apparently she did not go with the family to Missouri. She married first a Freeman, 2nd Lewis M. Marion, about 1908.
