Welcome to thePoindexter Descendants AssociationPoingdestre Family of the Isle of Jersey, Channel Islands
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our immigrant to America was George Poingdestre, who arrived in the Colony of Virginia in 1657 from the Isle of Jersey (Channel Islands), off the coast of Normandy. He first settled in Middle Plantation (Williamsburg). Later, with his wife Susannah, he built his plantation home, Criss Cross (or Christ's Cross), which still stands located midway between Williamsburg and Richmond in St. Peter's Parish, Virginia. The Poingdestre family has held many leading offices in Jersey since medieval times. The family held a fief on the island since the 1300's until the 1800s. Many branches of the family have emigrated to other lands, including Canada, New Zealand, France, Australia, and South Africa, not mention the United States.
