Biography
Isabella was one of the daughters and co-heiresses of William Stephen Poyntz. Her marriage to Brownlow Cecil, 2nd Marquess of Exeter, carried the Poyntz of Cowdray and Midgham connection into the Exeter Cecil dynasty. Her sister Elizabeth Georgina Poyntz married Frederick Spencer, 4th Earl Spencer, creating a parallel Poyntz-to-Spencer connection.
