This record is not contained in the
main document because I find it highly suspect in several areas - not least, Guilford
County did not exist in 1758, nor had the first Poe arrived in NC. I can find
no other corroboration for a William Poe with the initial E, especially who
would have been born around 1728 and had a son named John born in 1758. Other
research into the John Poe who married Mary Newman does not bear out any of
these details.
