My father was Chenoweth Poyntz & my grandmother always told me that he had a cousin named Poyntz Chenoweth.
My great great grandmother was Katharine Lee Shultz Poyntz & her sister Julia Shultz married a Chenoweth. They lived on adjoining estates on land originally given to their grand father Henry Lee. The 2 families were obviously very close as they each named a son after the other. I could give you tons of information about the Poyntz name but the Poyntz &Chenoweth families are not directly connected.
We have to be distant cousins through the 2 Shultz sisters.
I would love to hear from you & share information on the Lee & Shultz families.
