notes

From http://www.poindexterfamily.org/history/George-1/timeline.html

1679 [George Poindexter] was appointed Vestryman Bruton Parish, Middle Plantation, Virginia Colony (First appearance in Bruton Parish Vestry Book Responsibility for administering church matters was given to vestrymen elected by the people of the parish. The vestries determined the amount of taxes and tax rates necessary for the minister's salary, other church expenses, and relief of the poor. Religion in colonial Virginia was established by law. Because taxation was also a significant matter of law, vestrymen were usually wealthy politicians and often members of the House of Burgesses.)
5 June 1679 “a full description of the Church [Bruton Parish] to be built is given, together with articles of agreement between the vestry and George Marble, the contractor of the which was to cost £350 sterling. Owing to some disagreement we find the following entry:

‘Whereas Mr. Geo. Marable hath arrested Mr. George Poyndexter and Mr. George Martin, (members of this Vestry,) in an action of the case to ye 4th day of ye next Generall Court: this Vestry do ordain and appoint Major Robert Beverly their lawfull Attorney on the behalf of ye said Parish, to answer ye suit of ye said George Marable, and also to procure judgment for performance of ye arts of agreement made by ye said Mr. George Marable,’ etc.” (Historical Sketch of Bruton Church Williamsburg, Virginia 1903)
