John Poe (1785-1859) and Sarah Threet (1794-1861)
|
Sarah Threet may be a daughter of Evan Threet, son of Frederick Threet, son of Miles Threet. The data below puts Sarah within this family, and Anson Deeds place John Poe and Evan Threet as neighbors on Lane’s Creek. I have not researched the Randy Jones data presented here. The data seems to fit what I have discovered. These families seem to move between Chesterfield County, SC and Anson County, NC, navigating Lanes Creek, to Rocky River and along the Peedee River |

John Poe 1785-1859 married Sarah Threet in Anson Co. NC around 1805. Sarah was of the Threet family in Anson and in Chesterfield Co. South Carolina. Presumably these Threet descend from the Henrico County, Virginia Thweat group)
Threet Family Notes, Census Records, etc.
Based on this Ancestry data and my own investigations, and relying much on these record from Anson County, NC associating John Poe with an Evan Threet, my best analysis is that Sarah Threet is a daughter of this Evan Threet, who was a son of Frederick Threet – see ancestry charts above.

For what it’s worth, since I failed to record the source of this information, sometime in the 1980s I wrote down this statement: When James Poe, Stephen Poe’s brother, migrated to Fayette Co, AL, family historians recorded that certain nieces and nephews went with James Poe to Fayette. However, James Poe, Stephen Poe’s son remained with his mother, he died young and never married. |

Wit: Richard Reynolds (+), John Thomas.
Note: Buffalo Creek is near where John Poe had land on Lane’s Creek. John Poe’s sons married Reynolds sisters. Son William Threet Poe married Sarah Reynolds and son Thomas Poe married Mariam Rosty Reynolds. Presumably this is the same Reynolds family that can later be found in Pickens County where Wm T. Poe lived. I am trying to discover is this Reynolds family goes back to the Reynolds family of Essex / Caroline County, VA where these Poe families started out.

The Auld family is married into both lines and in addition to this proximity, we also find Wm Erasmus Poe in a Wilkes County record.

NOTE: 1783 Chatham Co. Pg. 51A
A Deed from Benjamin Watts and Wife to James Poe, Jr. proved by the Oath of John Berry, Jr..
The James Poe, JR in the deed above had to be born prior to 1762. HOWEVER, the James Poe JR in this 1800 census is at most 26 years old (or born c. 1773) according to the notations.
The James Poe SR in this 1800 record seems to be Maj. James Poe. But the James Poe, JR is too young to be the same one as in the record from 1783. However, it does fit pretty well with the age of James Poe, orphan son of Stephen Poe, brother of Major James Poe.
16 February 1778 William Howard, “gaudn” of James Poe orphan of Stephen Poe decd, enters 450 ac; border: Berry’s line on Haw R., runs up the river to the mouth of Brooks Cr, up the “break” opposite James Herndon’s line, up his line W to Poe’s line, along Poe’s line to Berry’s line & along Berry’s line to the beginning; James William caveated; proceedings returned to May Court; discontinued by “ J W” ; warrant issued to “W H” Jul. 25.

Note in the 1820 census, the only James Poe listed still is not over 26, but has a woman in the household over 45. The Melton family was close to my John Poe (1785-1859) family. His son, William Threet Poe traveled from Arkansas to Alabama in 1875 to marry as this third wife, Mary H. Melton, daughter of Elihu Melton. All we can do is base our charts on the preponderance of evidence.

Note: These families moved to Fayette Co. AL before 1830 – lineage of this researcher is through John Poe, believed to be a son of Major James Poe. John Poe’s wife, Sarah Threet was born in SC according to the 1850 census in Alabama. She may have been, but then the family moved across to NC. Evan Threet also moved to Arkansas. I think he is Sarah Threet’s brother, but no proof but proximity.
8445. September 16, 1820 Abel Stack (Anson Co) to Miles Threet Threatt (SC); for $50 sold 50 ac on waters of Sandy Cr; border: begins at said Stack's second corner hickory of 300 ac survey in a line, joins a spring branch, & the state line.

------ This seems to be sales of land in preparation for the move to Fayette County, Alabama. This is November and it is said they were there by 1822
8411. December 18, 1822 Elijah Stack (Anson Co) to Evan Threet (Threatt) (same); for $100 sold 100 ac on Willis' Br; border begins at a red oak near Abel Stack's line. (signed) Elijah Stack's mark "X"; (witness) William Ross & Thomas Renfro; wit. oath October 1825 by William Ross; book V p. 169.
>>> In the next record, William Erasmus Poe is of the family of Marsom Powe who died in Spottsylvania Co, VA. His son Thomas Powe moved to the Cheraw Dist of South Carolina. The relationship of Marsom Powe to the Simon Poe family is not know. It is interesting to find the two families close by each other in the Anson County area. The Dismukes and (Simon) Poe families have at least one intermarriage.
This land is very near John Poe and Simon Poe on Gum Log Branch.
8755. January 4, 1822. William Dismukes *(Anson Co) to William E. Poe (Chesterfield Dist. SC); for $5,500 sold 700 ac; border: begins at Thomas Threadgill's corner stake in the ford of Grindstone Cr. joins a road, Doctor Parker, & Jesse McLendon's field. (signed) W.

(signed) H W Harrington; (witness) Thomas Diggs & Marshall Diggs; wit. oath Jan. 1831 by Thomas Diggs; Book X p. 441
NOTE: One can find a number of connections between the Simon Poe family group and the Dismukes family. This one shows a link to the Marson Powe family group

* This Orange (Chatham) Co record connects Watts and Auld and Petty. The James Poe of Guilford Co who died in 1812 is believed to have married Sarah Petty. I have much suspicion that if Sarah was a Petty, a William Petty was her father. This name is many times associated with Poe

Ellerbe at his death was seized and possessed of about one thousand acres of land adjoining the lands of David Sedberry and others comprised in various tracts, and also situated in Richmond County, North Carolina of the value of forty cents per acre, which descended as he is advised, to L. D. Prince, his brother of the half blood.

11. That W. L. T. E. Prince is an infant of tender years whose Post Office address is Bennettsville, S.C., and your petitioner believes has no guardian.
12. That a sale of the whole of said land is necessary to enable your petitioner to pay the cost and charges of the administration of the estate of said Ellerbe in this State, and to enable the Commissioner in Equity, or other proper Court or office having jurisdiction and control of the matter, to pay the debts proved against his estate in the action or proceeding to Marshal the assets of said estate instituted in the Court of Equity for Marlborough County, South Carolina by J. H. Gooch, Administrator of W. T. Ellerbe, dec' d, complainant.
13. Wherefore to the end that the above described lands may be sold upon such terms as to the Court may seem fit and proper and that proceeds may constitute assets in the hands of your petitioner for the payment of the cost and charges of the administration in this State. and that the residue or balance may be paid to the officer or other person entitled by the laws of South Carolina to receive it. May it please the Court to cause copies of the summons and petition in this proceeding to be served personally upon P. W. Stansill and wife Eliza, and that service be made on each of the other defendants, who reside beyond the limits of this State, by mailing copies of summons and petition to their post office addresses, and by publication for six consecutive weeks in the North Carolina Argus commanding them to be and appear before John A. Long, Clerk of the Superior Court and Judge of Probate for Richmond County at his Office in Rockingham on or before the fifth day of November next ( 1870) and demur or answer this petition, or plaintiff will demand the relief asked for.
