{{Family tree box|Personal=Pierre|Family=Poingdestre|Details=Although the forename Jean, rather than John, was almost universally used in Jersey from the 12th century until the 18th century, the early Poingdestres are commonly found as Johan, or John. The forenames in this tree researched by La [[Société Jersiaise]] (a combination of all three variants), have been left unchanged. The tree shows Jurat John Poingdestre at Generation 3 as Bailiff. However, no confirmation of this role has been found elsewhere, the only Poingdestre to hold the office apparently being [[Jean Poingdestre]], in 1452-52, who is shown at Jurat John Poingdestre at Generation 5 in this tree}}

**********10 Guillaume Poingdestre (1563?- ) <ref>Guillaume`s son Jean was described on marriage in 1635, as being of St Saviour, where his father was living in 1606, when he presented a daughter for baptism. However, the father, a younger son, must have lived for a decade or more elsewhere - presumably in a parish without surviving 16th century registers - as the baptisms of his children have not survived. Pending confirmation from the Jersey Land Registry, their inclusion above and lins must be regarded as provisional.

Four cabots of wheat, amounting to £6, were annually due, as recorded in 1749, to the Crown, on Marguerite Le Sueur`s property. In that year, her husband, son and grandson having previously died, the sum was owed by her great-grandson, Abraham Poingdestre. That he was recorded as owing it in person shows that he had to have then been of age. He may have been baptised in 1730 but he will have been born in 1729</ref>
