I believe this is a duplicate of the same person, but I'm unable to merge them:

Cecilia Poindexter Anderson

Also, is there proof that her husband had the middle name Penn? It was very uncommon to have middle names back then and I've often seen them turning out to be later addtions that can't be valdiated.

Thanks.

I have attached documents under her media section about parents David Massie and Lucelia Poindesxter

It appears, to me anyway, that

Lucelia Massie, {Fictional}

isn't fictional as indicated.

I think the problem, from what I've seen, is that her mother as been shown as married to a Peter / Peter David Massie who is the result of people merging a Peter Massie incorrectly with her husband David. ?

One of the documents I attached is marriage info for D. Massie and Lucelia Poindexter.

The other is a screenshot from this book:

There's another book that just lists him as D. Massie instead of David Massie:

https://books.google.com/books?id=wa2-kNd99s4C&pg=PA280&lpg...

They show daughter Cecilia listed as daughter of D. or David Massie and in both cases Lucelia Poindexter as her mother.

Previous researchers, before 1984, decided to call her, Cecilia Poindexter Anderson(born Massie). Her mother being born Poindexter, her father, Massie. She married an Anderson. That's the facts.

Fictional:
Lucelia Massie (Poindexter), {Fictional}
Gender: Female
Birth: circa 1622
Dorset, England
Death: November 23, 1711 (84-93)
St Peter, New Kent, VA, United States

We worked on Cecilia Poindexter Anderson many MANY times to ensure she is correct and FICTIONAL is just one of many profiles that were examined and found not worth merging away

Here's another per Geni dup: Lucelia Poindexter

They are neverending but add NOTHING :)

See (referenced on the FICTIONAL profile here at Geni) the note at Wikitree: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Poindexter-102
Conclusion
There is no evidence that substantiates the claim that Peter Massie married a Lucelia Poindexter. Peter is said to have married twice, most likely in England; however, the identity of his wives is unknown.

Sourced records state her father, D. Massie or David Massie. Only seen a Peter Massie as heresay, without sources. This Massie Family is supposedly well researched. I would think Poindexter and Anderson would be, also. I have noticed, whenever some don't want to do the research, and Wikitree is NOT a source, they, all of a sudden want to say the ancestor is fictional. How is that qualified research?

As to the ancestor being researched to be labeled as Fictional is a bad statement and should be shown as the actual statement, Unsourced. I noticed some of most biblical profiles are now ascertained to be fictional. That would be a matter of opinion, depending on the researcher, not the sources, or the ancestor being researched. Need some middle ground here, don't you think?

There is also a Cecilia Massie, listed as a daughter of a Charles Massie around that time frame. Per my research collaboration with Anderson and Massie researchers
