HISTORY OF PEAVEY CEMETERY

written by J. Wesley Edmonson (1888-1971)

John B, Poe, an early settler of Lewis Township (Clay County, IN),

entered the land on February 18, 1836, at which time Andrew Jackson

was President.

This burial plot did not become public property until 1863, when John

B. Poe deeded the plot to A.J. Baker, who was trustee of Lewis

Township at that time. Mr. Poe left Lewis Township, but in August

1881, at the age of 99 years, he was returned to be buried.

HISTORY OF CLAY COUNTY

An Old-Time Wolf Hunt.

On the 14th day of February 1848, the counties of Clay, Owen,

Greene, Sullivan and Vigo joined in a big chase to rid the territory com-

prised within their borders of the numerous ravenous wolves which were

playing havoc with small stock that winter. More than a thousand square

miles of territory were embraced within the circle of this chase, and hun-

dreds of interested and determined people of the respective counties par-

ticipated in the drive. The half-mile Center circle, or closing ground, was

staked off in Eel river bottom, a little distance south of New Brunswick.

The captains in command were Elias Cooprider and Joseph Griffith, Sr.,

with several aids, for Harrison township; Joseph Puckett, John J. Lan-

fling, Dck North and John Neal, for Lewis township; Isaac Sexton, Allen

McBride, Wyatt Johnson, with their aids, for Sullivan county; Rev. Rich-

ard Wright, Alexander Poe, Dick Lambert, John Standley, Ned Combs,

Enos Huey, and Elias Dayhuff, for Greene county; Aaron Hubbell, Alex-

ander Winters, Jesse Ragan, Adam Slough and the Littlejohns, for Owen

county.

John B. Poe, one of the early pioneers, himself six feet in

height and proportionately developed, who made many excavations and

tests, found the tibia (bone of the lower-leg) in all cases from one to

two inches longer than his own, and could place the maxillary (lower

jaw-bone) over his own, flesh and all.

William Poe

son of Jeremiah Poe and Hannah Doan and second file

The ancestors of William "Billy" Poe have been successful in raising funding for a marker for him and his two wives. A dedication service is being planned to take place June 19, 2004 at 4:00 CDST at the Union Chapel Cemetery located in Whiskey Run Township, Crawford County, IN. Here is a copy of the obit that I have prepared and it will be on the third page of the hand-out program at the dedication.

William "Billy" Poe was born 10 MAR 1807 in Ohio to JEREMIAH Poe and HANNAH DOAN. He married ELIZA ANN CRECELIUS, daughter of JACOB and CHRISTENA LEWIS CRECELIUS (formerly from Green County, TN) on 20 JAN 1833 in Crawford County, IN. During the eleven years of this marriage they became the parents of 6 children: Eli; William Henry; Jeremiah; Elisha; Elijah and Jacob. Eliza Ann died 04 JAN 1844.

William's second marriage was to SUSAN ELIZABETH HARRISON, daughter of THOMAS G. and ELIZABETH ALDRED HARRISON. This marriage took place 16 JUN 1845 in Orange County, IN. The children born of this marriage were: Eliza Ann; Malinda; Mary; Bennett; Isaac; Adam; Ruth; Lucinda and George. William death 05 DEC 1882 ended this marriage of 34 years. Susan died 01 JAN 1902.

One hundred sixty years after Eliza's death;

One hundred twenty two years after William's death;

One hundred two years after Susan's death;

the Poe Family Descendents have seen that these unmarked graves will be marked forever.

A special thanks to Don Totten of California for his research and to the late Beatrice Baylor for writing the letter in 1961 to Don confirming the burial location of William, Eliza, Susan and Bennett.

Contributed by Evelyn Harper Jackson February 23, 2008

. . . the annual Jeremiah Poe/Hannah Doan
family reunion is held in JUL; the first Sunday after the 4th of July. Last
year's event was held at Sycamore Springs Park at English, Indiana. The
group liked the location so well, it was voted again to meet at the same
place in 2008.

Jeremiah and his wife Hannah Doan Poe are buried in unmarked graves in the
Old Unity Baptist Church Cemetery, located on the line between Crawford and
Washington County, IN. Probably the grave sites were marked with carved
field stones at the time of their burial but the stones are long gone.
Jeremiah and Hannah were charter members of this congregation and their
property adjoined this site. I would like to see a Poe descendent spearhead
a drive for funding to erect a marker on their behalf at the cemetery. The
church building is no longer standing but the association has erected a
shelter house there on the grounds and they also have a homecoming in
August.

Hope this clears up the matter of the burial site of Jeremiah and Hannah
Poe.

1820 Census (these counties are in the southern part of the state not so far from Kentucky)

Gibson County: Benjamin Poe *

Spencer County: Isaac Poe

* according to others' research the will of Benjamin Poe of Gibson Co. was recorded 27 April 1840. He was born around 1775 and had children George Washington Poe b 1801, KY; Nancy Poe b 1805 IN(?); Greenup Poe b 1810 KY; Amanda McGary b 1814 KY; and Emily Hawkins b ?

Note that Lawrence County, Kentucky, where we find Poe families, was formed from Floyd and Greenup Counties. It was created on 14 Dec 1821. The name Greenup is so unusual, surely there is a connection to the county. Floyd Co, KY appears to be an area where the Amelia / Prince Edward County, Virginia Poe families settled.
