NOTE: An Elizabeth is
mentioned as wife of William Poe in deed of 1801 below from land granted to
George Wooten. Note that men named William Petty lived near the Simon Poe SR
family on the Haw River and also near Poe in Guilford County, NC. Many Petty
families lived in these counties so it is not at all clear they are related or
that the connection to Poe is more than coincidental.

Poe bured in Green Cemetery. Connected to this family is Edmond/Edmund Poe and Stephen Poe (see Wilkes County, NC

Culpeper County VA states in a Rev. War Pension claim (see below) that he
lived in Wake County, but moved to Randolph County, NC in 1789. It appears
his son Benjamin remained in Wake County if this is accurate. The claim also
states that he lived in Chatham County, NC when he entered service in
1775. In a 1771 Chatham County Muster
roll for the Siler City area of Chatham County, Benjamin Poe is listed. ** These records from
Orange / Culpeper County, VA may be this William and John. The association
with William Watson and Battle Run make it appear that they are sons of
William Poe who appeared in VA records in 1725, just after the death of
Samuel Poe in 1725 in Essex County. Benjamin is likely another brother or a
JR son of the Benjamin Poe who appeared in the records about the same time of
