CHAPMAN POINDEXTER



    Chapman Poindexter made application for revolutionary pension while living

in Grainger County, Tennessee. He was born in 1759. He entered the army in

Louisa County, Va., under Captain John Saunders. He served in the battle of

Guilford Court House and in an engagement at Camden. He was taken prisoner in

the Siege of Charleston and was. wounded in the body, arm and thigh. He was

parolled by the British commander, Col. Samuel Conger. July 9, 1791. He moved to

the Tennessee country after the revolution and drew pension in Grainger County

where he died May 21, 1851. His widow, Elizabeth Poindexter, applied for pension

in Grainger County. Her pension was granted, suspended, restored and increased.

She lived after the War Between the States and was obliged to prove her loyalty

to the United States during that period. Her marriage to Chapman Poindexter took

place July 1815 but she may have been a second wife as he was then 56 years old.

Their children were: Talton, born 1816; Sarah, born 1817; John M., born 1819;

and William, born 1823.
