One of Tennessee's most outstanding wood craftsmen, Richard Dick Poyner was listed in the 1860 census as a free mulatto. He was literate, a man of property, and a member of the Leipers Fork Primitive Baptist Church, a white congregation. Poynor's horse-powered lathe turned maple and hickory to create chairs and other items prized for their beauty and durability.
