From the point of view of each - or is it points of view?

'From the point of view of each of the four members of X family'.
Is EACH the subject - ie singular - so it is 'point of view -not 'points' ?
Feeling a bit Friday feeling, bit sluggish (lazy!)so just checking if anyone knows?

I would have thought so, it seems like an implied "one".
EG:
'From the point of view of each
one
of the four members of X family.'

As opposed to:
'From the points of view of the family members.'

Thanks for answering. Yes, I think it must be that each - one - governs this. Not the 'four' members.

Yes, I'd agree. Otherwise it seems to imply that each family member has more than one POV. (Multiple personality disorder anyone?
)
