  [S6040] FindAGrave Old World, Jean Poingdestre VI 1455-1505. Jean (John) Poingdestre was born about 1455 on the Isle of Jersey. His parents were John Poingdestre the Fifth and Helen Morine. John was was married to a woman named Alinor by 1477. Records of the church show that Alinor and her mother made donations that year for a mass and prayers for Alinor, probably for a safe childbirth. John was mentioned in records as Lieutenant Bailiff of Jersey from 1484 until 1500, when he was mentioned as jurat. The Bailiff of Jersey was the chief official on the island and representative of the King. There are 12 jurats below the Bailiff, who hold office for life and perform a number of functions, executive, legislative and judicial. The Parliament of the island is made up of the bailiff, the 12 jurats, and the rectors of the parishes. Apparently, Lieutenant Bailiff was a position not necessarily held for life. For the first time in over two centuries, his first-born son, Jean, forfeited his rights of inheritance. The estate went instead to son George. The reason is not one of dishonor however, John became a cleric and when he entered the priesthood, gave up his rights to the fiefdom. He was ordained in 1500. John the father died before 1506 and was buried in the churchyard of St. Saviour's. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/125201276/jean_(john)_poingdestre [S882] FamilySearch - Family Tree, Find a Grave - Ancestry. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/125201276/jean_(john)-poingdestre [S9482] Our kin : the genealogies of some of the early families who made history in the founding and development of Bedford County, Virginia, Poindexter/Poingdestre. https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/10559/images/dvm_LocHist000211-00135-1?ssrc=pt&treeid=178474848&personid=182596013185&usePUB=true&pId=247 dvm_LocHist000211-00135-1.jpg [S882] FamilySearch - Family Tree, "Family Tree," database, FamilySearch (http://familysearch.org : modified 09 July 2024, 15:47), entry for Jean Poingdestre (PID https://ark.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/4:1:9HK6-MH6 ); contributed by various users. https://ark.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/4:1:9HK6-MH6
